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 where I still live. 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!

Teacher’s pick
I have been taking business classes with Conor for almost 2 years and they have been incredibly helpful. He has improved every aspect of my business english, not just but including my presentation techniques, my vocabulary for meetings and my use of formal language. I couldn't recommend him any more highly!

Thanks to Conor's teaching style and encouragement, I managed to ace my Cambridge C1 exam. His diligence and work ethic, in combination with his light-hearted sense of humour, helped me to face the exam without any doubts and fears whatsoever. I received a perfect score, and they even awarded me a C2 certificate. I can only recommend Conor wholeheartedly! Thank you so much, Conor :-)

Working through the Destination C1 / C2 level book from start to finish with Conor was great. It really expanded my grammar and vocabulary. He provides good examples for all the words which really helped me progress!
