About Me
italki teacher since Dec 17, 2018
Hi there !
I'm George and I grew up in London and currently live in Rome. I have just completed my English CELTA Teacher Course. My main interests are the Arts (art, literature, film and music) and Current Affairs (International News and Developments). I like spending time with my friends and also love walking around cities. I really enjoy learning about different cultures and people, which means I naturally get on with everyone.

Me as a Teacher
I'm a friendly, energetic and patient teacher. I really appreciate your engagement and effort whilst also having fun during the lesson. I'm always very curious and interested in people. I've been told I have a very calming presence which makes for a very relaxed and successful learning environment.
I can explain things in a very simple and easily understandable way, as well as being able to challenge / push your English to reach a higher level.

George :)

The lesson was well organised. The whole process was quite professionally managed. And as always, i praise the usage of digital tools like Google docs as a pretty useful way to provide feedback for a student. Thank you, George, for that!

George is good teacher with beautiful pronunciation.
He is very dedicated teacher and will write correction instantly in google doc ;provide detailed&thoughtful suggestion of study plan after first lesson ; ask comment from student in order to adapt his teaching method to the need of student.
He is also good at providing feedback for recurrent mistakes of student which is quite useful improvement.
In short, he really wants his student to improve and has the competence/tactic to push student to progress further.
