About Me
italki teacher since Nov 9, 2021Interest topic
I have graduated from university and am moving to Spain in October! My plan is to travel to different countries and experience living within cultures that are completely different to the one I grew up in (in the UK).
I am a natural explorer who feels a deep connection with nature, and I love dogs with a passion! Singing and writing are hobbies of mine that I frequently use to ensure I express my creativity. I am an enthusiastic, positive, and reliable individual who works endlessly to achieve my goals!
I am very easy to talk to, and this makes me a great teacher that you can feel comfortable with!Me as a Teacher
I have a warm energy that allows me to easily encourage and motivate others. This will help me to reassure students of their progress, which is crucial for all, especially for those learning English for a particular reason (school, work, university, travel).
**[Please note that I do not teach children!]
Patience comes naturally to me, so students can feel at ease and not be afraid of making mistakes. This is crucial when building the confidence to express thoughts in a different language!My lessons & teaching style
I will create a plan for each individual's language development and base this plan on their goals. I will need to know their age, level, reason why they are learning English, skills that they would like to develop, and any specific topics they are interested in.
I believe that speaking is the best way to learn a language, however, writing and grammar are highly important when it comes to school and work. I will base lessons around the 'four skills' - reading, writing, listening, and speaking. I am flexible with the content of my lessons and will adapt materials to fit the level of each student.My teaching material

Education
2018 - 2021
Bachelor's - Philosophy, Religion and EthicsMy degree focused on learning about various ethical issues and how cultures around the world tackle them, as well developing critical thinking and analysis skills. I significantly improved my writing abilities. In my final year, I completed a dissertation in which I analysed the concept of 'self-love'.

I really enjoyed talking to Malaya. I didn't feel stupid and I didn't feel uncomfortable. I learned new words. And what is very wonderful activated the words that I knew. Remembered and used them. Thanks for listening to me and being patient!!!
