About Me
italki teacher since Jun 14, 2012InterestsWritingArtHistory
I know choosing a teacher is difficult. A few basic facts about me: I am a native English speaker currently living in Spain. I have a love of words, with a masters degrees in Celtic Literature, as well as the arts (an MFA in Fine Art). As well as being an English teacher, I am a practicing artist, a writer, and an art gallery owner.Me as a Teacher
I took my TESOL certificate while I was working on my MFA in Painting. It was my "back up plan", but I have been using it ever since. I love helping students gain confidence and linguistic skills, often alongside other scholastic or academic endeavours. I specialise in academic English and examination preparation, but I also have extensive experience teaching children from the age of 5. I believe that the key to teaching is patience, flexibility, and an understanding of a student's needs. I do not adhere strictly to any particular methodology, as I feel there is no one-size-fits-all approach to teaching.My lessons & teaching style
Lessons can be as structured or as flexible as a student requires. Especially with children I think that language needs to be acquired rather than forced, and I use a variety of materials such as books, flashcards, videos, quizzes and games. With adults I encourage students to bring projects or work from their employment/school/university so that language can be applicable immediately to real world scenarios. I feel that one of the biggest obstacles to language acquisition can be the rather dull nature of some of the materials that are available, which is why I use a combination. I do not as a rule assign homework, but rather encourage students to engage widely with English outside of class.My teaching material

It's always a very inspiring english lesson from an artist teacher. Very recommended for artist's searching to write, talk and think about their work in english.

J’ai eu un premier cours avec Beth et je confirme ce que son profil laisse deviner : elle est chaleureuse, professionnelle, à l’écoute, et elle prend le temps de vraiment comprendre les besoins de l’élève.
Elle m’a aidé de manière naturelle, à travers la conversation, sans jamais me mettre la pression.
Elle a aussi su s’adapter à ma manière de parler — tout en restant bienveillante et dynamique.
Merci Beth !

I had the pleasure of attending an online lesson with Beth, and I was really impressed. She is a highly knowledgeable teacher, professional in her corrections, and always attentive to details. Beyond her expertise, I truly appreciated her empathy and ability to make me feel comfortable. Her English is extremely clear and easy to understand, making the lesson smooth and enjoyable. Moreover, she is punctual and very accommodating, even when I booked at the last minute. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their English with an excellent teacher
