About Me
italki teacher since Apr 12, 2022Me as a Teacher
I am described as a patient person, I will take as long as needed to help you in every way so that you can achieve your goals. I aim to provide engaging lessons where you can learn in a fun and interactive way. I also want you to learn in a natural way, speaking with a native English speaker so you can feel confident in all situations when speaking in English!
For those of you whose first language is SPANISH, I will be able to help explain or translate anything you do not understand if you need.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons mainly focus on speaking.
We can focus on whatever topics you need/want in order for your English skills to progress. It doesn’t matter what your level of English is, I can help. We can focus on grammar, fluency, pronunciation, whatever it is that you need!
I try to use authentic materials in my lessons. For example, I would prefer to use news articles, magazines, blogs, extracts from books, films, podcasts and music so you can learn in a more fun and engaging way.Certificates
Advanced Methodologies in English Teaching - Universitat Internacional de Catalyuna - 2022I complete modules on "approaches and planning", "instructional techniques and considerations", "ICT in the classroom", and a final project based on my practical experience in the classroom (I am working in a school 22 hours a week Monday-Friday). I have not yet completed the course (I finish in May).

Conversation lessons with Ellie have been invaluable experience so far. She is absolutely flexible when it comes to the student’s needs; our classses have been tailored to just what I needed.
She’s always on time, sometimes we even start early. When I needed, she squeezed me into her full schedule for a lesson. She’s responsive, talkative, casual, so that it feels like a chat with a friend, but she’s still alert and ready to correct you when you make a mistake.
Her Manchester accent is the best part; excellent preparation for real-life conversations - throughout my education I’d been exposed to just RP. Then, I went to England and was in for a shock. THIS IS ENGLAND FOLKS!
Ellie is a fantastic teacher and really good value for money.
Don’t hesitate and book in!
