Certified teacher from Ireland specialising in Exam Prep, Business English and Interview Practice My name is Conor and I’m an English teacher on italki. I studied Spanish and Geography in University College Dublin. I then completed the 120 Hour Advanced TEFL Qualification and the 30 Hour Teaching English Online Course with the TEFL Institute of Ireland. I’m from Dublin in Ireland. My native language is English, and my accent isn't too strong! I love sports, especially soccer. I also like cooking and fitness. I always put the student's individual needs at the centre of everything. My time studying Spanish allowed me to understand the most effective techniques when teaching languages. This, combined with my TEFL Cert, has enabled me to understand how to help any student meet their goals. I teach students of any level, from beginners to advanced learners preparing for specialised exams. Soy una persona con fluidez en el idioma espanol. Si es de tu preferencia conversar en esté, no tengo ningún inconveniente. !Yo te puedo explicar y ayudar con el mayor gusto! My teaching strategy is personalised. I'm aware that certain teaching methods are more helpful to some students than others. I specifically tailor each student's learning plan, allowing them to develop and improve. I like to find out how best a student likes to learn. Therefore I include the right combo of visual, aural and oral aids. I also include real life materials such as Youtube and newspaper articles. Learning a new language should always be a joyful experience, so I create a fun and relaxed environment!

I highly recommend this teacher. He is very friendly, patient, and professional. His lessons are always well-prepared and easy to follow. He pays close attention to my pronunciation and corrects my mistakes in a clear and encouraging way. Since I started learning with him, my English has improved significantly. I feel much more confident speaking English, and my pronunciation and communication skills have become much better. Thank you for your support and excellent teaching. I truly enjoy every lesson.

I really enjoy my lessons with this tutor. We discuss different topics every time, which helps me understand what subjects I feel confident in and where I still need improvement. It is also a great way to learn and expand my vocabulary. Another thing I appreciate is that the teacher corrects my mistakes, which helps me improve my English more effectively.

My lessons with Connor have been very focused on preparing for the CAE exams. Since I needed help mostly for the speaking, he's practiced with me that part the most by going over a lot of different example tests so I could get used to the times and the exercices. He's also helped me with my writting and grammar correcting mistakes and helping me with the phrasing and flow of the sentences. I'm able to revisit the corrections any time since we used a shared document for them, so that's also very convenient for memorizing. I really recommend him for preparing these kind of exams. I really do feel that he's helped me feel more secure in my abilities for the speaking and writing parts.
