Hello! Iām Elizabeth, a qualified teacher with over 30 years of experience in both classroom and online teaching. Iāve helped learners of all ages succeed ā from passing exams to improving their employability, boosting speaking confidence, and applying English in specialized areas like science and medicine.
Originally from England, I now live on a farm in Portugal, where I train horses and care for my dogs and cats. Iām also learning Portuguese, so I understand firsthand the challenges of learning a second language. This experience makes me patient, empathetic, and supportive with all my students.
My passion is helping people feel more confident and capable when using English.Me as a Teacher
I thoroughly enjoy helping people improve their English. It doesn't matter who you are; I have something to offer you, whether chatting about everyday things or preparing for a particular exam. It is a great privilege to meet so many amazing people through italki and hear about their lives. My students say that I am kind and patient, and I like to 'go the extra mile' for the people I work with.My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is adaptable to the individual needs of each student. Whether you prefer casual conversations or more structured lessons, I offer flexible options to suit your learning style. For structured lessons, I provide interactive eBooks and a variety of engaging materials that include activities and resources for continued learning beyond the classroom. These tools are especially beneficial for exam preparation.
Additionally, with a strong background in science, I specialize in helping professionalsāsuch as environmentalists, engineers, and medical practitionersādevelop their technical language skills in English.My teaching material
