About Me
italki teacher since Apr 19, 2022Interest topicMusicFoodFinance
Hi, my name is Anton and it's a pleasure to meet you.
I'm 42 years old and was born and raised in England. For the past 18 years I have lived and worked in Taiwan.
In Taiwan I not only taught English to all levels and ages, I also achieved my lifelong dream of opening my own restaurant. If you're ever in Tainan, Taiwan check out The Artful Dodger!
Things I enjoy, in no particular order...
teaching,
music (I play the piano),
learning new languages and about new cultures,
reading,
investing,
having interesting conversations
being in nature,
keeping fit,
food, cooking and baking.Me as a Teacher
I have studied a few languages, and therefore understand what students need and what they look for and expect in a good teacher.
For 20 years I have been involved in various forms of English teaching. I love guiding all ages and all levels from kindergarten to adults, from beginner to advanced. However, on italki and for online classes in general, I will only accept those of you at a minimum B1 intermediate level, 18 years old and above.
As a teacher I bring the following qualities to the table:
Friendliness, kindness and understanding,
A good sense of humour,
Patience,
Adaptability and flexibility,
Good listening and communication skills,
I'm well prepared,
And, I have experience.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons and teaching style obviously depend on your individual needs. I recognize that each of us learns differently, and so I adjust the lessons accordingly.
My specialities are:
IELTS test preparation
English for professionals
Fluency and Pronunciation
Natural Conversation and Confidence Coaching
Proof Reading/Listening and Editing
My teaching style is natural and student focused. I will come to class prepared, and will never run out of ideas and ways in which to help you, as I have 20 years of teaching and 40+ years of life experience on which to fall back on.
I'm looking forward to our first class together!My teaching material
