About Me
italki teacher since Mar 25, 2022Me as a Teacher
I am a certified teacher and teacher trainer with a Tesol Cert and higher Tesol Diploma. I have 16 years teaching experience including both online and face-to-face classes for British Council accredited schools and academic English tuition at Manchester University. My background includes tuition for business, general English, and academic English. I also specialise in exam preparation for Cambridge and IELTS exams. I have taught a range of students from young children to adults and different abilities from beginner through to proficiency level.My lessons & teaching style
I strive for excellence and believe in a highly communicative teaching method. There is no typical lesson as I design each lesson to meet the individual student’s unique needs. However, I like to begin with a review of the previous lesson to help you remember and recycle language which has been previously studied. Each lesson will have a main objective which might be a reading skill or a writing strategy for example. Students are encouraged to ask questions; the classroom is an open, friendly environment where learning is key. I am a firm believer that lessons should not only be productive but be enjoyable too in order to drive a student to reach their full potential.My teaching material
