About Me
italki teacher since Apr 26, 2024Interest topicMarketingArtMusicGamingScience
My name is James and I am originally from London which is where I am also based. I am 41 years old and I just spent 10 years living and working in Berlin, Germany. I made many friends from all over the world during that time with whom I am still in contact with. I assisted them with their English classes and now that I've returned home, I am still interested in doing so for other people. I enjoy meeting people from all over the world and having a good conversation with them about everything and nothing.Me as a Teacher
While I was in Berlin, I hosted a weekly meetup where all of my friends who were learning English would meet in a coffee shop in the centre of town for a few hours. There, we would talk about various subjects such as the weather, life, politics and travelling. It was an excellent opportunity for all to meet new people and establish new friendships. We all learnt a lot about not only each other but also other people's countries and cultures.My lessons & teaching style
I basically have 2 teaching methods:
1. For the more advanced user, learning materials are put aside for the more direct approach of just having a conversation about whatever the students wishes to discuss. The kind of freestyle method is the perfect way for them to not only develop their ability to listen but also gives them the confidence to speak English within a fluent setting.
2. For the more basic user, learning materials are provided (either from a book they happen to be using or from myself) which are then covered together. This kind of approach allows me to support my student in the exact moment that they may require assistance with some feature of the English language.My teaching material
