Hi Guys,
I am a qualified TEFL teacher from the UK currently living in Turkey. I have previously been an accountant and a flight instructor. I grew up in East Africa and speak passable Swahili and now I am learning Turkish. I love travelling and learning about different cultures.
Me as a Teacher
I am very patient and happy to go over everything as often as necessary. I am aware that learning something new can be stressful. Learning should always be fun!
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are tailored for all ages and understanding levels.
I use lots of visual aids and "realia" to keep learning interesting and fun while keeping students' attention. i vary between "patient and kind" and "fun and playful" and a little more serious, depending on the age and needs of the students

The teacher speaks very well. He is patient and tells me grammar carefully, and will give me some training. When I make mistakes, I will patiently correct them and give encouragement.
