About Me
italki teacher since Oct 1, 2021Interest topicSports & FitnessBusiness & FinanceFood
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. My name is Felix and I am a cheerful, easy-going and articulate professional from Pietermaritzburg, South Africa (currently living in Japan). I am passionate about business, hence, mastering English through education can open a wealth of opportunities to those who can use it well! I enjoy striking a balance between immersing myself in nature and enjoying the cozy indoors – hence my love for seasonal camping, hiking and reading a good book about philosophy under a warm blanket. As a “90’s kid” I still enjoy listening to classic hits from my childhood in what I can only describe as the golden Rnb era!Me as a Teacher
I have over 7350 hours Teaching English professionally in the classroom. I am highly motivated and thus, willing to adapt to challenging situations. I pride myself in having a high level of professionalism, integrity, punctuality, efficiency, and practice excellence in my vocation. I consistently strive to add valuable contributions to the success and growth of my students.My lessons & teaching style
To fulfil my role as a professional teacher, I apply my knowledge of curriculum standards, inclusive learning and student-centered strategies in order to design and implement effective lesson plans that augment learning potential. I offer a bespoke tier-system syllabus that prioritises “patience and pronunciation” which can assist students in gradually developing from the beginner proficiency level to the advanced proficiency level and beyond. I use a multitude of teaching resources and I administer proficiency-based quizzes, tests and examinations with detailed feedback.My teaching material
