About Me
italki teacher since Feb 19, 2021
I am a native English speaker from Britain currently in the USA. I have a universal 'neutral' accent but can help you with British, American, or neutral English (and respective accents).
I work hard to make my lessons fun, engaging, and collaborative. While my preferred teaching style is casual and conversational I also value structured lesson plans so that we can both be held accountable for, and keep track of, your progress.
Over the last 10 years, I have lived in China, Japan, France, England, Ireland, and the USA. I am an adrenaline junkie and love to travel, hike, run, cycle, read and attend exhibitions and galleries.
Me as a Teacher
I have graduate degrees in Economics and International Relations from the University of Cambridge and Peking University, Beijing. I recently completed an additional graduate degree in clinical psychology from a top American university.
I have 10+ years of teaching experience including basic English language tuition, business English, SAT/GRE and A-Level preparation, university application preparation and interview practice.
I also have experience as a University English tutor, as a high-school English teacher (in Beijing, China), and a IELTS, TOEFL, and the Cambridge English exams (CAE, CPE) tutor.
My lessons & teaching style
I find that my students benefit greatly from a mixed-media approach to learning. This means I try to use developmentally appropriate resources from movie clips, youtube videos, magazine articles, and novels in my teaching and when setting homework. Not only does the inclusion of these resources make language learning more fun but it also gives my students an invaluable insight into the culture of their chosen language and helps immensely with accent perfecting!

The lesson was great and enjoyable! Louise is extremely intelligent and knowledgeable of different cultures and socioeconomic affairs. Her speaking is always well organized and to the point. I spoke a lot and learnt a lot from her broad knowledge. It is enlightening.

I always enjoy my lessons with Louise a lot. She's polite, fun and available to talk about any subject whatsoever, but remains focused and draws my attention to the slip-ups I'll inevitably make. In other words, the perfect teacher.
