About Me

italki teacher since Mar 8, 2016

InterestsTravelMusicArtSports & FitnessFilms & TV Series

I'm ☘️ Irish/Australian 🦘, living and working in Barcelona, Spain. My hobbies and interests include travelling ( I haven't been able to do much recently for reasons beyond my control ), reading, photography, music, plants/flowers and all types of sport. I love to discover new things, especially trying new flavours and cuisines when it comes to food. You can say I'm a bit of a foodie and I love to cook ( but not clean up after ).

Me as a Teacher

Over eight years ago I changed my career to become a teacher. I worked as a garden designer/horticulturist for over ten years until I felt I wasn't learning anymore and took the jump into teaching. Being a teacher was always something I was interested in, so I started to work part-time helping students prepare for IELTS exams. Now I work as a full-time English teacher, working both online and in a classroom. I am a very open-minded person and I am pleased to discuss any topics that you are interested in.

My lessons & teaching style

All my lessons are prepared with the student's needs in mind. If you book a trial lesson with me, all students are asked "why" they are or want to learn English. This is done so I can structure the lesson around the student's needs. I'm a very patient teacher and always make my lessons interesting and enjoyable. I believe that if you enjoy doing something, you learn more. So making sure my students enjoy their lessons is important.
