About Me
italki teacher since Nov 17, 2021
Hi!
My name is Conor and I am an English teacher here on italki. I studied Spanish and Geography in University College Dublin. After this, I completed the 120 Hour Advanced TEFL Qualification, as well as the 30 Hour Teaching English Online Course with the TEFL Institute of Ireland, before starting work as a soccer coach in a variety of different schools.
I am from Dublin in Ireland and I currently live in Seville, Spain. My native language is English, and my accent isn't too strong! Outside of teaching I love sports, especially soccer. I have worked as a full-time soccer coach for the last 5 years. I'm also interested in cooking and fitness.
Me as a Teacher
I like to put the student's individual needs at the centre of the learning process. My own experience of majoring in Spanish in university allowed me to understand the most effective techniques to use when teaching a new language.
This, combined with my TEFL Certificate, has enabled me to understand how to best help any student of any standard to meet their English language goals. I teach students of any level, ranging from complete beginners to advanced learners preparing for specialised exams.
Soy una persona con fluidez en el idioma espanol. Por tanto, si es de tu preferencia conversar en esté, no tengo ningún inconveniente. !Yo te puedo explicar y ayudar con el mayor gusto!
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching strategy is highly personalised. I'm aware that certain teaching methods and techniques are more helpful to some students than others. This allows me to specifically tailor each student's learning plan, allowing them to develop and improve their language skills at a speed they enjoy.
I like to find out early how best a student likes to learn. This allows me to include the right combination of visual, aural and oral aids in our classes. I also like to include real life materials such as Youtube entries and newspaper articles in my lessons.
Learning a new language should always be a joyful experience, so I always like to create a fun and relaxed environment during classes!

I'm always looking forward to my English lessons with Conor. He is very reliable and well organized but also a cool and easy going person. His lessons are very structured, that means that we start with open questions about the last homework, then work through a chapter in the book and have a discussion about different topics at the end. That helped me to expand my vocabulary and be more confident in English conversations. His English is easy to understand even though he comes from Ireland :-)

Conor is a very patient teacher and always well prepared for the classes. I booked a few lessons with him to prepare for my CAE Cambridge exam and he has a lot of knowledge and experience with the exam (what the examinors are looking for, how to deal with the different parts of the exam etc.).
He also shares a lot of helpful material that you can use to prepare for the exam.
Thanks a lot for your help, Conor!

The classes with Conor continue to be extremely and helpful and productive. We are currently expanding my vocabulary, brushing up on my grammar while using IELTS preparation material to get me ready for my exam. He always brings a positive attitude and enthusiasm to class, his classes are always productive and enjoyable.

I am beyond happy that I chose Conor as my teacher. Each class goes really quick as we develop my grammar, vocab, and conversation skills. He is fun, energetic, and hardworking, always planning each class around my individual needs. He speaks very good Spanish which helps me a lot when trying to understand how certain words translate. I can definitely feel myself speaking with more fluency in work now. I recommend Conor 100%
