About Me
italki teacher since Oct 21, 2021Interest topicHistoryTechTravel
✔ I'm a native speaker of English, from the county of Shropshire in the countryside of England.
✔ I'm not just a language teacher, I love languages and different cultures from around the world and I'm always happy to meet people and learn about their language, country, cultural background and interests.
✔ I can work with you to help you build up your knowledge and skills in English to be able to communicate more fluently and confidently when you need to.
✔ Interview preparation: I can help you get ready for an interview in English.Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching English for many years and have plenty of experience with beginner, intermediate and advanced students and adult learners.
As an experienced teacher and language learner, I strongly believe in learning through natural acquisition rather than forced memorising of complex grammar and vocabulary. Our brains are built for learning languages, but we need to feed them 'comprehensible input' with engaging and interesting materials. This approach to language teaching is not traditional, but it is backed up by extensive research and evidence from experts in Second Language Acquisition.
** I do not currently accept students under the age of 15. **My lessons & teaching style
Learning a language means embracing it and making it your own. Contrary to popular belief, you cannot learn a language just by studying it. You only learn by using it, for real communication.
For beginners, my lessons will help build your knowledge, understanding and confidence in English by engaging in interesting, meaningful and comprehensible input with a focus in reading and listening.
For intermediate and advanced learners, my lessons focus much more on real communication. Languages are made for talking so I place conversation at the heart of my lessons. Over time you will build up your confidence and achieve fluency and proficiency in English.My teaching material
