About Me
italki teacher since Nov 25, 2013Interest topicReadingWritingFood
To teach is to learn.
I am a curious person. Curious about culture and language, and all their expressions.
I love writing, creative and non-fiction, creating language courses and adapting authentic material.
I'm a translator, an advocate for Gaelic (Scotland) and Scots to be re-integrated more widely into Scotland's society, and supportive of other minority languages, such as Irish, Welsh, Breton, Basque, Ryukyuan (Okinawa), etc.
I also support variety in English, and all its diverse accents and forms, including my own variety, which is SSE (Standard Scottish English).Me as a Teacher
INSTANT LESSONS. Send a message for an invitation if you see me online with Instant Lesson displayed.
I have taught English in French and Japanese high schools and to students in language schools in Japan and Scotland. I have taught English via Italki since 2012.
I started teaching Gaelic (Scotland) online in 2010, and for Italki in 2014.
I offer a tailored teaching approach. Please ask for details.
Instant lessons are available on request. If you see that I am available for instant lessons, send a message for an invitation.My lessons & teaching style
I tailor my lessons to each individual student. Everyone learns differently, but the focus is on conversation with explanations and other types of practice woven into the time available.
There is no one size fits all.
Chaque étudiant a son propre style d'apprentissage qui peut (légèrement ou considérablement) différer des autres. Mais pour la conversation, il n'y a rien de mieux que parler.
各学習者は自分の学び方が多少なりとも他人と異なる場合が多いと思いますが、会話のレベルを向上させたいなら、話すことほど効果的なものはないのではないでしょうか。
Naturally, the lessons will include explanations on grammar or vocabulary and idiom, as necessary.
All lessons are welcome from Beginner to Advanced.My teaching material
