About Me
italki teacher since Jan 8, 2022
**All learners must be adults (18+)** Hello Everyone, I am a professional teacher on italki, who is a native English speaker from London (England) and I speak English with clear British pronunciation. I am University of Cambridge CELTA certified / TEFL certified (certificate obtained in 2006). I am a friendly 😊 teacher, enjoy working on building confidence in lessons and of course have a professional tutoring style.
My online Everyday Conversational English classes aim to generally help people to improve their English language speaking skills and to gain confidence e.g. by working on fluency and accuracy when speaking. See also my other lessons (e.g. General English) detailed below.
Me as a Teacher
I am an experienced teacher. As part of my experience as a teacher I have over 5 years of experience specialising in teaching English privately “1-on-1” to non-native adults (mostly professionals). In addition, I spent years teaching English to non-native adults in classroom groups; I prepared and taught various English courses, including a course focusing on conversation skills. I have had adult private / 1-on-1 learners remain with me for years.
My lessons & teaching style
One of the best aspects of teaching for me is helping students to correct grammar errors / mistakes and to speak better with lots of practice, practice, practice! I know what it’s like to learn a language, having studied Spanish, which I now speak fluently.
I am well-qualified to teach English and on top of this all my online lessons are prepared and well-organized. My lessons are for everyone who is an adult (e.g., professionals or university students) with any of these levels of English: Intermediate, Upper Intermediate, Advanced or Proficiency (B1, B2, C1 &C2). If my calendar is full or you can't find the best time for you, please be sure to send me a message.

通じるけど間違っている表現や文法的に正解だけど丁寧すぎる言い回しをきちんと訂正してくださることが、非常にありがたく、授業で最も気に入っている点です。最近の会話の授業では、まず最近あった出来事について雑談して、宿題として読んできた記事や動画の内容について説明して、軽い文法事項の勉強をして、最後に社会問題や日常生活に関わることを何らかの教材を見ながら話す、と言う構成がとられることが多いです。授業から幅広いことを学べるように、構成を練って、計画的に授業を進めてくださっている感じがします。
She points out my speaking errors and unnatural expressions even if what I have said makes sense, which I appreciate. In my typical conversation lessons with her, I first talk about what I have done that week, then check some grammar, followed by discussions on social issues or daily life. I like how she plans and structures the lessons so I can get the most out of them.

거의 반년가까이 수업을 계속 듣고있어요. 적절하게 일상 프리토킹과 문법적인 약간의 수업도 해주셔서 부족한 부분을 잘 채워주십니다. 항상 수업이 알차요. 추천합니다~!
