About Me
italki teacher since Nov 23, 2021
I was a secretary for many years and then trained as a physical therapist. I am also a Foster Carer and have lots of experience in teaching. I have no intentions of retiring because inside, I'm still quite young! I live in a small town in the North East of Scotland with my cat and love to make pottery and go long walks.
Me as a Teacher
I am very relaxed about learning and believe that making mistakes is just part of learning a new language. The most important thing you can do is to try. Hearing English spoken correctly on a regular basis, will help so much in the learning process. We can discover together how you learn and whether you prefer informal conversation practice or more formal lessons on specific areas of English. The most important thing is that you feel that you can set the pace and I will adapt accordingly. That doesn't mean I won't challenge you, but the challenges will be achievable by you and will help you on your learning journey.
My lessons & teaching style
When we have a trial lesson, you can let me know what area of English you'd like to practice. We can go over typical phrases that come up in conversation, tenses, or any area of the language you feel you need help with. I can provide text which we can read together or help with letter or email writing. If it's fluency you want to develop then we can practice that together. The only way to develop fluency is repetition and total familiarity with common words and phrases and I can help with that.

The child had his first lesson with the teacher today. The teacher heard that kids liked Paw Patrol and Transformers, so she looked for the dolls and pictures. She is a patient teacher who corrects children's pronunciation.
