About Me
italki teacher since May 24, 2013InterestsTechTravelScienceReadingFilms & TV Series
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!Me as a Teacher
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.My lessons & teaching style
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.My teaching material

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.

The experience of Nova’s class felt like an incredibly magnificent science fiction novel. Laogui, as the guide, led the protagonist through countless settings on an adventure, from ancient times to the present, from the East to the West. He effortlessly wove together elements of time and space, linking one fascinating story after another, covering topics in mathematics, science, and history. I was absolutely amazed. How could so much content, both in depth and breadth, be integrated so coherently in just one hour of class for a child?

老师真的好棒好棒好棒,不仅中文不错,而且还给我提供了非常多的反馈,我以前读书时只认识单词,英语口语用词并不准确,但是经过他的指导之后我学习到了更加具体的表,特别感谢!
