About Me
italki teacher since Mar 25, 2020
Hello! I'm a 30 year-old from Edinburgh, but lived for a few years on the Isle of Skye when I was young where I learnt Gaelic. Since then I have taught and helped lots of people learn through individual classes and conversation circles.
Me as a Teacher
I am keen to shape the lessons around your goals and what you already know, so please send a wee message to let me know what you're looking for.
I specialise in teaching absolute beginners, and so you don't require any previous knowledge at all - although if you've already learned wee bits and pieces, I'm more than happy to adapt to that!
Rather than just following an existing course, I have developed my own materials - including custom flashcards for every word we cover, homework exercises, and detailed explanations for everything we discuss.
However, if you have a textbook or other course material that you'd rather work through, I'm very happy to structure my lessons around
My lessons & teaching style
I am a big believer that learning a language doesn't have to be all-consuming. I know that people are busy, and so I want to help you work as efficiently as possible.
One trick that has been transformational for my language learning journey has been making use of downtime - waiting for the bus, boiling the kettle, TV ad breaks - to do vocabulary flashcards. So for every single word we learn together, I will make you a flashcard with audio, and talk you through how to make the best use of them. This was, by just spending a few minutes each day, I promise that you will learn and retain vocabulary faster than you ever thought you could!
