About Me
italki teacher since Jun 30, 2025InterestsMusicFilms & TV SeriesWritingTravelFood
I am originally from the midlands in the U.K. I went to university in the north of England where I studied business. After graduating I spent a year in Australia working and travelling. After this I lived in London for a few years where I worked in a bookshop. Subsequently I did some marketing work in my home town. I have several interests including travel, photography and writing.
I consider my teaching style as friendly, open and flexible. Having been a language student myself, I can appreciate the differences in approaches that can help student learning.
I like to use a 'communicative ' teaching method; delivering lessons through speaking and in this way introducing vocabulary, grammar, and correct pronunciation. I prefer to strike a balance between formality and informality in terms of the tone of the lesson, encouraging the student to relax and to be unafraid of making mistakes in their learning journey.
If you like, we can have a conversation lesson under a palm tree on the beach🙂My teaching material
