About Me
italki teacher since Apr 26, 2024Interest topicTechEnvironment & NatureWritingPets & AnimalsTravel
Hello! My name is Bart, and I love English! I love reading, writing, and teaching it.
When not in class, I can be found strumming chords on my guitar or going for runs or hikes with my kids and dog. Yoga and meditation help me stay centered. I adore traveling as well.
I'm a good listener and use this superpower to help my students succeed.Me as a Teacher
Teaching English since 2012, I earned a master's from the University of Birmingham. I have certifications for teaching adults and young children. I improve my teaching by taking courses and attending workshops. Conferences help me grow professionally too.
In my teaching, I make lessons relevant to students. I plan each lesson for them so they understand the purpose. I'm friendly and have my students learning and using English from day one.
My dedication, knowledge, and background make me ready to provide excellent English tutoring.My lessons & teaching style
-If you want to pass language exams or boost conversation skills, I can help. I'll guide you to success by enhancing vocabulary and improving grammar.
-I'll help with your communication skills for the corporate world. Master presentations and negotiate confidently in English. I'll help you excel in the global business arena.
-Kids love talking. I make sure they learn the language they need in a fun way so they can talk about the things that interest them. Their progress will impress you.
Don't let your language aspirations and confidence stay as mere dreams. Take a trial lesson today and leave with a plan to transform those dreams into reality.My teaching material
