Hello! This is Teacher Alastair.
Welcome to my classroom 😊
I have over eight years experience teaching English at Elementary level in classrooms in South Korea. I have taught over 2000 classes online.
I have a Ph.D. and I have a TESOL teaching certificate.👨🎓
I am popular with students as I am caring and energetic in helping students understand reading texts.
I like studying to be fun. I make vocabulary and grammar interesting and useful. My students become more confident in saying their ideas in full sentences of English.
I recommend the National Geographic Our World series as the well-known foundation for your child's education. 😍Me as a Teacher
👩🎓Teaching Background :-
I am from the UK. My goal is to teach a neutral English accent. As an experienced instructor in South Korea, I am able to support US phonics and spellings. 😃
Our classes include reading the coursebook texts, studying the vocabulary and exploring the stories. The "Our World" course has many fun songs that help students remember the material.
We follow the textbook exercises to practice using vocabulary words and examples. My aim is help students be confident in speaking full sentences of English.
The natural world of National Geographic provides a perfect introduction to English, with expert guidance in textbook exercises to help students really improve.My lessons & teaching style

非常优秀的一位老师，无论你是初学者，还是拥有很高水平的，他都能完美的找到契合你的学习方法。他非常友善，拥有十分系统的教学体系，在这里你可以得到最快的提升，并且是以一种快乐的方式。尽管你是初学者，有一些话难以回答或者难以听懂一些句子，他都会十分包容你，并且耐心的解释或重复，和他一起上课完全不会感到不适合紧张，而是仿佛见到了你的老朋友一样，你们能很棒的聊天，而没有老师与学生之间的威严。同样他也有着丰富的教学经验，这点可以从他的用心程度（拥有丰富的教学工具），以及教学手段十分先进高明，将晦涩难懂的东西变得简单易懂，使语言的学习简单数倍，不在因为英语太过于困难而感到十分困扰，跟他学习英语并不像是传统意义上的学习，那种无聊和提升很少。而是一种享受的过程，真正享受到语言学习的乐趣。快和他开启一节课吧!超级棒的老师!
