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!

Conor is an excellent teacher, very easy going, has a neutral accent and is willing to help. I had a great session with him and I recommend others do the same. Give him a go and you won't regret it. Thank you so much Conor.

The classes with Connor are very profitable because he knows , in all moment, what is the best of you and the things that you don't know in English and he guides you in the best way to improve.
I have received more than 10 classes with him and I am learning a lot.
