About Me
italki teacher since Oct 22, 2021
Hello everyone! My name is Wes and I'm an English teacher from Tasmania, currently living in the Brisbane, Australia. While teaching English in Australian High Schools, my favourite part was assisting foreign students who spoke another language become confident in speaking English and connecting with locals.
Speaking English can help you connect with others all around the world, and can help you study or even get a job in another country. However, I understand it can be difficult to understand native slang, to master articles or to learn which nouns are plurals and which aren't-especially if you don't get to practice English regularly.
Me as a Teacher
• Experienced English and History teacher Australia's public high school system
• Hold a Master's Degree in Secondary Teaching.
• Hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Arts (History and Security Studies)
• Relaxed, humorous and stress-free learning environment focused on flow, so you'll be at ease during our lessons
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons and teaching style will vary depending on your individual needs and what you want out of your English lessons.
If you would like to learn and practice new vocabulary or grammar rules, our lessons will probably involve learning the rules before perfecting them in conversation.
If you're learning English for business, our lessons will be structured around the different situations you might encounter at work, such as meeting etiquette or coming across as professional in an email.
If you're preparing for IELTS or TOEFL, we will be practicing the specific skills you will need to improve your band score.

Wesley helped me to better assess my English level and showed me where I still need support. He responded to my goals and was very motivating. I'll book more classes with Wesley.
