About Me
italki teacher since Oct 11, 2024InterestsTechEnvironment & NatureScienceBusiness & FinanceHistory
I come from New Zealand, but I have also spent time living in Australia, the UK, and the USA. Right now, I am living in Shanghai, China. I have been learning Mandarin Chinese for a few years, so I am comfortable conversing in this language. I have been teaching English to adults for the past 7 years, and I have worked with students from all over the world! My focus is on business English, but if you want to learn about grammar or improve your conversation skills, I can help you in these areas too!Me as a Teacher
My undergraduate major was in Chemistry (BSc). However, I have also completed a Grauduate Diploma of Secondary Education (GDipEd), so I am qualified as a high school teacher. I have a Cert IV in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. I currently work as a business English trainer.
If you want a teacher that is easy to understand, experienced, and can help you discuss topics ranging from handling questions in meetings to investment strategies, I'm the right teacher for you!My lessons & teaching style
My lessons will focus on topics that are relevant to your needs and interests. I like to have a mixture of conversation, grammar, vocabulary, and role play to get you speaking and using your new language skills as quickly as possible.My teaching material
