About Me
italki teacher since Mar 23, 2021Interest topicMusicScienceTravel
Hello! My name is Tammy and I am from the UK. I live in North East England. I have been an English Language teacher since 2008.
I'm a highly qualified teacher and linguist. I have a teaching diploma, a degree in English Language and 2 master's degrees in Linguistics and Speech Science.
I specialise in IELTS preparation, academic English and general English. I train other teachers, and I work as a speaking examiner.
I'm a specialist in English accents and pronunciation due to my studies.
I'm passionate about music, travel and culture. I love learning about other peoples' interests and lives, and all about their home countries.Me as a Teacher
I'm a patient, friendly teacher. I'm attentive to what my students need and I'm very skilled at planning lessons that help students achieve their goals.
I work as an examiner, so I can give you a realistic idea of your level, and help you prepare for an exam like IELTS.My lessons & teaching style
In the first lesson, I'll assess your level and find out about why you are taking the lessons.
IELTS lessons: In each lesson we will focus on a different part of the test (for example 'Speaking Part 1'). We will also focus on a little bit of grammar and vocabulary every lesson, because these are important elements of the test.
Conversation / General English: In each lesson we'll practice your speaking and listening skills, and increase your vocabulary.
English for work, study, travel or living in the UK: Each lesson will be tailored to your specific needs.My teaching material
