About Me
italki teacher since Feb 27, 2015InterestsFilms & TV SeriesTravelFood
Hello Everyone! My name is Barbara and I teach English here on Italki. I have been a teacher since 2013 and I have worked both online and in language academies all over Spain. I studied English Language and Linguistics at University of Essex in the UK and I did my teacher's training in London, where I got my CELTA certification. CELTA (Certificate in Teaching English to Adults) is issued by the University of Cambridge and it is a guarantee of quality in teaching.Me as a Teacher
I have lived in different countries (The UK, The Netherlands, Belgium and France), so I am used to foreign speakers of English. That is why I am aware of language problems they usually have to face. I focus on teaching approaches that help students develop all four skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing) needed to be an expert in a language.My lessons & teaching style
I think it is extremely important to listen to students' preferences and purpose for taking the class. I use a lot of authentic material and interactive exercises which help the learner use the language in real-life situations. I also do preparation for Cambridge exams (PET, FCE, CAE, CPE) and IELTS.My teaching material

Very nice introductory conversation lesson with Barbara . She speaks clearly and seemed to be very kind and attentive with the student. She had prepared conversation topics in advance and encourages students to speak the language, giving them a feedback at the end, rather than interrupting them unnecessarily .

Barbara had prepared some exercices for me according to my needs and my level. She is very organized and enthusiastic. She speaks a perfect French, which could help French learners, but the entire lesson was in English. Tank you very much.

The class was very interesting and motivating. We read some articles, and I received suggestions to improve my pronunciation and vocabulary. Barbara is very dynamic, and a great help to my learning.
