About Me
italki teacher since Nov 9, 2018InterestsHistoryTravelScienceMusicTech
My name is Jamie, I have been studying French and other languages for many years and I love to share my knowledge with my students.
I love to travel and have visited many countries over the years. I have also lived in France and Taiwan where I taught English and French both privately and in schools.
My main interests are language, music, and travel. I am also interested in history, politics, and science. I love to learn, so I am more than happy to discuss any topic that you find interesting.Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching French & English online and in person since 2012 and have had students from a variety of cultural and linguistic backgrounds. I have had students of all ages and always strive to make my lessons enjoyable for everyone.
I have a BA in French & Linguistics, an MA in Phonetics & Phonology & am in the final stages of a PhD in Psycholinguistics, so I have a wealth of linguistic knowledge. I hold a Cambridge Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA).
I am an experienced language learner having studied French, Italian & Mandarin, as well as some Spanish, German, and Korean. I understand the challenges learners face and do my best to help them overcome them.My lessons & teaching style
My main aim is to tackle the problems that my students find the most challenging. While I use textbooks as support materials, I do not follow them cover-to-cover. Instead, I identify what my students need help with the most and plan lessons accordingly. Each student has a shared notes document with vocabulary from each lesson, suggested reading / listening materials and practice activities.
Everything I plan into a lesson has a purpose and I make sure that my students know why they're learning what they're learning. I am also a strong believer in self-evaluation, so if something is not working I make sure to try something new.My teaching material

Had a great and enjoyable introductory lesson with Jamie. He is very friendly, patient and supportive. The interaction was great, and I felt less nervous when speaking with him.

Super easy to talk to, and helps so much with little pieces of vocab that are missing. Also really good at rephrasing questions in a way that I understand, so I can't recommend enough!
