About Me
italki teacher since Jan 18, 2022Interest topicSportsHistoryArt
I am from the north of England but have been living in Italy for over 20 years. Today I live between Rome and Bologna. I previously spent six years working in Japan and before that two years in France. I am an extremely active person cycling kms up and down the Appennines, swimming lengths to refresh my mind and motorcycling around Europe on my 800cc Ducati. I think I am easy-going, sunny and friendly and get on with most people.
I am curious about life and our world – history, literature, film, world music, current affairs and politics, and have strong opinions on them all! When at home or on the train, etc my head is always in a book, listening to music or watching films..Me as a Teacher
I have taught English as a foreign language for over 30 years in France, Spain, Japan and Italy. I have the TEFL certificate and the equivalent of DELTA which I received while working in Japan. Outside italki I teach privately and also at an Italian high school (liceo) in the language department. My speciality is tutoring students for international certificates such as IELTS, CAE and First B2. I especially love getting my students over the horrible hurdle of the writing test! Having said this, I also teach Business English having worked in tourism, film and retail outside of my teaching experience, and general English for travel and friendship.My lessons & teaching style
I have been teaching on italki now for over a year and find it an efficient, relaxing and fun way of teaching. My lessons are always conducted in English (although if I know the students own language, I can help out when necessary). I have a wide variety of materials collected over many years, such as cool videos and audio material, interesting grammar exercises, etc but am happy to use the student's own material, if they wish. I have an open, friendly and conversational style of teaching and always aim to get my students talking and interacting with me from the very beginning. For me the student is the protagonist, not me.My teaching material
