About Me
italki teacher since Feb 22, 2018Interest topicArtHistoryMusic
Native English speaker and professionally qualified English teacher from the UK with fifteen years teaching experience. I specialise in preparing students for IELTS as well as teaching general and conversational English. Currently I am teaching in Eskisehir which is an Anatolian city in Turkey. Let me help you upgrade your English.Me as a Teacher
I qualified to teach English as a foreign language in 2006 my motivation was that I thought it would be a useful back up skill, as it turns out it is also a very rewarding job that I enjoy immensely. I have about six years experience of teaching in schools (I've worked in six) and also take many private lessons. I often work with students preparing for IELTS (can also do TOEFL) most of whom need a 6.5 or above so far I haven't had a single student fail to achieve this score or higher.My lessons & teaching style
I follow the pragmatic approach to teaching focusing on the four skills sets reading, writing, listening and speaking. I also like to help improve my students pronunciation, vocabulary level and fluency. I don't focus heavily on grammar (I work with students who are intermediate and above) except in the case that a student specifically asks about a grammar topic they have a problem with or if I identify a grammar problem in your speaking or written work. I'm relaxed and personable in my lessons.My teaching material
