About Me
italki teacher since Mar 20, 2022
Hello!
Welcome to my profile. I'm Ally, and I'm a British native speaker originally from Chester in England. I now live in Thailand, and I really enjoy my life here. I am a fully qualified primary school teacher (PGCE with QTS) and trained from one of the top universities for teacher training in the UK.
In 2010, I travelled to China, and completed my TEFL training. I stayed there for a three years, and went on to become an IELTS examiner. I have four years' experience teaching English as a second language to Russian and Chinese students. In 2008 I graduated with a BSc in psychology and love exploring different cultures and meeting new people.
Me as a Teacher
I am passionate about education, and love to learn. I am a very patient teacher, and try to break down complex grammar and information in a way that is comprehensible to the learner. I use a range of different teaching materials to enhance the learning experience for the student. I am friendly, and take my time.
I believe in guiding my students, rather than giving them the answers. This allows for critical thinking, and gives students plenty of time to analyse, and master new concepts. If your learner has any particular interests, please let me know. The more I know about the learner, the more I can tailor my lessons for their unique learning experience.
