About Me
italki teacher since Mar 2, 2022Interest topicArtHealthTravel
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
