In my thirteenth year of italki, teaching and studying, having just rolled up my 10,000th lesson In our conversations anything goes! Whatever your beliefs or ideas I make no judgments, and I am always willing to discuss and belief or topic whatsoever. I am in fact a maths and computer nerd so technology and programming are common topics, but travel and the world, my world or your world, your culture and my culture, are of interest to both of us! Already over thirteen years now, and well over 10000 hours of online teaching, mostly here. I make liberal use of online materials, and I like englishclub.com, ABC Radio National, TED, Wolfram, Coursera, EDX, and linguapress.com. My sessions are particularly free and subject to your wishes, needs and goals. I am equally happy to chit-chat, or address deep and troubling issues, to delve into science, grammar, technology. There is no set agenda, but I expect us to set up a basis for the coming sessions. Intermediate to advanced students only please. I study language too, so I am aware that adult language acquisition is nowhere near as rapid as that of children. In my lessons I am constantly typing to leave a record for both of us of what has been said, of corrections, of vocabulary idioms and expressions - I expect you to review the lesson dialogue, I always do.

Thank you for the lesson! Lao Gui wrote down most of the words he were speaking to me, which made the learning process easy. He also suggested different techniques to help me improve my speaking skills. I've learned a lot today.
