About Me
italki teacher since Nov 23, 2021InterestsTravelFilms & TV SeriesPets & AnimalsGamingArt
I'm a native English speaker from the Scotland in the UK, currently living in Mexico. As well as an online English tutor I am also an artist & designer, I work freelance designing board games and graphic design.
I am a friendly and easy going person, I can always find something to talk about and connect with others. I like to meet and talk to new people and find out what is interesting for them.
I have been working as a TEFL online teacher for over 5 years, helping students of all ages and abilities improve their fluency goals. The feedback I have gotten from my students is that I am friendly, patient, and that I keep the classes engaging and interesting.
My teaching style is focused around conversation, reading, and exercises. All are aimed at finding new learning points and practicing them in realistic ways. I like to give students the words and phrases that will allow them to feel that they can express themselves effectively, so as we go through class I often repeat back to them what I have understood and any suggestions I can recommend for improvement. This is aimed at helping students gain confidence that they are using the language clearly and effectively.My teaching material

I learned lots of art fundamentals like, line, colour, form, perspective, etc. One of the most important lessons learned here was how to learn, seeking information and finding ways of learning that work for me.
