About Me:
Hello! I'm Gavin, a 25-year-old English teacher from England, with a passion for making learning fun and engaging. With a TEFL certification and one year of teaching experience, I have successfully completed over 1,000 lessons, both on and off iTalki, and have had the pleasure of meeting and teaching 200 students from diverse backgrounds, and bringing out the best of their English - I hope to do the same for you!Me as a Teacher
It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or an advanced speaker - I try to encourage and bring the best out of all my students and target their weaknesses while praising them for their strengths. It is no small feat to learn a language, so I think effort should always be celebrated. I bring enthusiasm but also calmness into the classroom so students can have a relaxed, personal experience where they can truly see progress and the next steps in their language journey.My lessons & teaching style
Ranging from conversational classes, debates, reading articles and analysing poems, looking at song lyrics or movie scenes, lessons are always tailored to the learner's needs AND interests.
From our very first lesson you will dive into English and learn new skills and abilities to help you overcome any doubts and express yourself as comfortably and confidently as you can in your own native language.

强烈推荐大家试试Gavin老师的课，一定不会让你失望的！老师准备了很有意思的活动，让我能很快参与到课堂中。课上很认真地听我说的话，并且很快发现我的语法问题，立即给我讲解。简单又清晰地解释了我一直不懂的完成时，也做了很多练习。课下还给了我反馈和家庭作业，帮助我继续巩固提高。

I've had the pleasure of having a couple of lessons with Gavin. He tries to make every class both engaging and productive providing examples and alternatives to my English. Booking a lesson with him is, without a doubt, a good choice!

Another great lesson with Gavin! He's well prepared with many interesting materials relevant to the topic, with which he helped to expand the vocabularies and phrases.He also helped to correct my writing and explain the grammar and vocabulary usages in detail! I learned a lot from the lesson. Cheers!

Gavin is very well-prepared, and his class provides a comfortable atmosphere for practising English.
He tailored his lesson to suit my learning style, ensuring that I could enjoy it the most. Today, we read a Greek mythology of the Leo constellation. It has been fascinating! ^^
