Hi, my name is Lynne. I was born and raised in Victoria in the southern part of Australia. I have traveled extensively so I have met and spoken to people from many corners of the world and always love to learn about their country and share knowledge about my country as well.
Some of my other passions are being in the outdoors - hiking, camping, cycling, skiing or whatever opportunity arises. I also have a keen interest in growing fruit and vegetables and using these to cook nutritious and healthy meals. I hope to meet you for a lesson very soon.Me as a Teacher
I will customise your learning to suit your individual situation. If you need to study IELTS to relocate to Australia or another country we will practice the IELTS exam format. If you want to practice for a job interview we can work on many relevant questions. If you want to learn how to engage in conversation then we will focus on that. Maybe you want to travel in Australia and plan your trip with the assistance of a local.
Just let me know what your learning needs are and we can work on this together. My lessons & teaching style
I will plan your lessons to suit your learning style and requirements. Your lessons will have plenty of conversation practice and time to ask questions. We can use Ellii (an English learning program), your own learning Course, IELTS material, photos or video clips and other suitable online material. I use a friendly and relaxed teaching style so that you feel confident to engage in conversation.My teaching material

I always feel comfortable speaking with Lynne because our conversations feel natural. She creates an environment where I can talk about everyday things and share my own opinions, which helps build my confidence. In this lesson, we also talked about Australian culture. Perhaps we can continue this topic in the next lesson :)

In this lesson, we talked about Australian time zones and the differences in manners across countries. Lynne always prepares thoroughly, and the flow of conversation during the actual lesson feels very natural. I can practise comfortably every time, and I appreciate the supportive atmosphere :)

We talked about manners today, including littering, vaping, and how people use public toilets. Japan might be relatively clean overall. When it comes to manners in supermarkets, Japanese people (especially in Tokyo) may be quite skilled at avoiding bumping into others, simply because they’re so used to being surrounded by crowds. It was another enjoyable lesson today!

Lynne is a very kind and experienced teacher. Her lessons helped me overcome my nervousness in speaking English. She sent me preparation materials and homework which were quite helpful for me to review the lessons.
