About Me
italki teacher since Mar 2, 2022Interest topicArtMedical & HealthcareTravel
Hi, my name is Ellie! I have been travelling on and off for 3 years since leaving college and have been met with enough adventure to fill a whole life time. Now I am back in London for the foreseeable future I am exploring my passions! I have been blessed with so many amazing experiences from camping in the Kyrgyz mountains, surrounded by wolves, to trekking for 10 days through the Himalayas. But, something I am most proud of is my time volunteering in a creative school, mentoring the youth of a small village in Kyrgyzstan. Helping them develop business ideas, express their thoughts and feelings through acting and movement exercises as well as improving their English speaking skills.Me as a Teacher
I started my teaching in March 2021, in Kyrgyzstan, where I taught English at an Advanced Business and English School. The experience was so fun and rewarding that it inspired me to continue teaching and become a certified English and Business English teacher, with a 300 hour TEFL course. My biggest motivation is seeing my student’s confidence grow as opportunities arise as they learn English. I have now had a year of experience teaching on italki as well as other platforms.My lessons & teaching style
Due to my creative nature, I like to make my lessons fun with creative games and activities, for example role-play and the use of authentic materials. My lessons are very much student centred, I usually make a syllabus depending on my students needs and goals. We can either focus our sessions on developing your conversation skills , which throughout my experience I have learnt is a very popular approach. I believe its popularity is due to the students being able to feel relaxed enough to use their knowledge and most importantly practice their speaking skill!My teaching material

Great teacher! The lessons went as a meeting a friend who corrects you every time you make a mistake in order to become fluent in English. Ellie has really great insights and 100% I recommend.
