About Me
italki teacher since Mar 7, 2014Me as a Teacher
My lessons are relaxed but rigorous. This means that I make sure you are learning and improving your grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation while having a good time in the lessons.
My areas of expertise:
- Explaining grammar so you understand it.
- Improving your pronunciation so you sound natural when you talk and you understand native speakers when they talk.
- Building vocabulary so you can easily say what you mean.
I will provide you with all the materials you need, and I can recommend some text books if you want to buy some.
If you want homework, I will set it. The more time you can spend revising and preparing for our lessons, the more progress you will make.My lessons & teaching style

It was a very informative session as I've learned how to write the process chart for ielts. Teacher Emma helped me step by step to understand the task and strategies like how to use more complex sentences. Thank you :)

If you're just trying to find a new teacher, let me say Emma is very likely to suit any kind of need you might require. She can either help you starting this beautiful language or going further by helping advanced students to polish it and she will do all that with her Northern British accent, which is delightful.

She’s teaching me about grammar, and her teaching is excellent! We talk about fixing the essays, that will be often fun and easy to do. Her lessons are very effective, and she’s also reliable. It almost seems like she’s perfect for me! I’ll recommend this teacher strongly.
