About Me
italki teacher since Feb 8, 2017Interest topicGamingHistoryMovies
I have been teaching English as a second language since 2005. During my rather extensive career, I have taught in both middle and high schools, universities, some of the more reputable language centres, and one-on-one online lessons. This varied experience has equipped me with the skills needed to teach a wide range of students with a host of different goals.
I have been living in Asia for two decades and I know firsthand the difficulties of learning a new language and struggling with the barriers a lack of language can cause. As such, I work hard to create a relaxed atmosphere in my lessons that I believe is conducive to a productive class.Me as a Teacher
I believe that people perform at their best when the learning process is an enjoyable one. Whether you are preparing for the IELTS exam or learning English for the simple pleasure of picking up a new language, the classroom should be a pleasant experience that is flexible in its approach.
I am from the UK, and speak English with a very neutral accent making me easy to understand. I am also very familiar with the IELTS test, having successfully coached many students from around the world to reach their goals.My lessons & teaching style
I prepare each class with the student I am going to teach in mind. I have a library of materials that can suit students of all levels, so I am well-equipped to ensure each student can get the most out of our classes. My IELTS classes have been particularly successful, coaching many students to reach their target scores.
I like my classes to be student-centred with a natural approach. This means that I work hard to ensure my classes are a two-way experience with a flexible lesson plan that accommodates your goals and interests.My teaching material
