Interest topicHistoryTravelReading
Hi, I am from Cambridgeshire, England, and I was previously based in France for 16 years.
In France, I was working as a marine engineer on a sailing yacht. Now I live in Indonesia and tutor full-time.
I have always had to learn new languages and adapt to a new country since leaving my home country.
So therefore, I have my own learning methods, which I can relay on to my students.
Me as a Teacher
I have completed a TESOL 120-hour course that is certified to teach English internationally. I believe listening and speaking are the best exercises. We always try to imitate others to improve our skills, whether in sports, the arts, or languages.
From my own experience, mastering conversation has helped me progress in a new language by raising my confidence to articulate words correctly through trial and error. My experience covers all ages, from 5-year-olds and up. I also want to mention that I have a fast optic fiber internet connection here!
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is very relaxed. I am extremely patient, and I speak slowly and clearly.
In my classes, we will mostly have a conversation on current trending topics, and I will ask students where they think they need improvement.
Often in classes we will read an article aloud as it's a great way to learn new vocabulary and improve pronunciation.
Expect to be corrected throughout the class in the message box.
As finance and economics have always been an interest of mine, I am at ease conversing with and assisting students on business topics.
I have solid experience helping students prepare for up-and-coming exams for IELTS, CAE and TESOL.

He is really friendly and also find different topics to broaden student's horizens. I also got 7.0 for speaking of IELTS after having lessons with him. Additionally, what he suggested me use in speaking is so useful in speaking tests. Highly recommanded.
