About Me
italki teacher since Aug 2, 2019Me as a Teacher
My classes are focussed on speaking - we can use different materials to inspire you.
I have the following qualifications:
- Bachelor of Arts degree in History and Spanish (University of Manchester, 2007; classification 2.1)
- CELTA (Certificate of English Language Teaching to Adults; accredited by the University of Cambridge)
- PGCE (Postgraduate Certificate in Education) - Modern Languages (University of East Anglia, UK)
- 1 year's experience teaching foreign students English conversation
- 2 years' experience as a high school languages teacher in the UKMy lessons & teaching style
We will focus mainly on speaking.
We can talk about anything you want! Tell me what interests you and I will prepare the materials, questions, and vocabulary. Or, if you prefer, you can bring your own material for me to help.
We will speak 100% English. I will correct you as much as you want.
Pour les enfants francophones, je ne recommande qu'une leçon de duration d'une demie-heure à la fois. Je prépare les matériaux avec une présentation du thème et des exercises. Pendant la leçon je parle en anglais et j'éxplique en français quand c'est nécessaire.My teaching material

I really enjoyed my lesson with James, he is a really great teacher! We worked on accent reduction and he taught me how to improve my accent in English and how to sound more like a native.

I will definitely provide some more details when I have another class, because hardly ever have I met such an engaging and easy to talk to teacher, but due to a trial lesson we haven’t had much time to get to know each other a bit better. But his absolutely intelligible way of speaking makes you relax and speak out freely about any subject. Thanks so much for the lesson, hope to see you soon again :)

Ha sido una clase muy entretenida y dinámica. Sabe cómo dirigir la conversación para que no se quede estancada y da en todo momento consejos de cómo mejorar la expresión oral.
