About Me
italki teacher since Dec 31, 2021Interest topicWritingReadingMusic
Hello, my name is Tony.
I live in the United Kingdom. I have a First-Class Bachelors Degree in Philosophy, Politics and Ethics and have spent much of my professional life as a writer.
I try to keep my working life new and engaging and have had various occupations from construction to writing. In recent years, I have lived in many different places and have constantly been adapting my life to new opportunities, places and projects.
My hobbies include music, reading, playing video games and keeping fit.Me as a Teacher
I think that teaching is more about bringing knowledge out of a student instead of putting it into them. This is especially true with language. A student will learn to speak a new language by trying.
My job as a teacher is to guide and correct the student as they continue to practice English.
My firm belief is that a student can understand a language far more quickly if they get used to using the language and understand how different words have different meanings depending on how they are used.
On top of that, I can provide definitions and explanations. If my students are ever stuck or need something to be explained, I can do this quickly and comfortably.My lessons & teaching style
My style is dependent upon the particular lesson but overall, my style is conversational. I try to allow my students as much room as possible to speak and practice whilst working as a careful guide, offering corrections when needed and offering my students the right words when they are struggling to think.
I can switch from the role of guide to the role of lecturer when I need to give long explanations about something in particular. This is the style that I use more often in the writing improvement lessons but I can also take the time to explain things such as new vocabulary for students who are trying to improve their speaking.
My students find me to be approachable, friendly and fair.5.0

Tony is a patient, efficient and considerate teacher. In this lesson, he guided me through the process of improving and rewriting a personal statement for graduate school application. I have learned how to tell my story in a more engaging way, an important skill not only in school but also in the workplace.

Tony is very knowledgeable and professional. We've discussed many topics and each time he has provided a new perspective and knowledge, Tony's lessons have been very helpful for me in learning the language and I strongly recommend him ;)

Tony is awesome！SUPER intelligent and has dialectical critiques on different topics. So we will have debates on ethical topics like abortion, euthanasia, morality, conscription, medicine and science, very rewarding lessons, my mind used to be a mess but I think I am clearer about my thoughts and positions now, especially during the arguments with my family and friends, all is to win the game LOL
