About Me
italki teacher since Apr 19, 2019
InterestsTravelSports & FitnessScience
Hi. My name's Jill and I teach English on italki. I'm from the UK and I live in the north of England but I grew up in the south so I have a standard British accent. I love spending time in the mountains: I like hiking, camping, running and cycling. I love learning as well as teaching languages and can speak Japanese.
Me as a Teacher
I started teaching English over 25 years ago and I have been teaching online since 2019. I am constantly trying to improve my teaching and I am currently studying for a Masters degree in Teaching English to Speakers of other Languages.
横浜で3年間英語を教えた経験があります。日本語は教師以外の仕事でも使うので、計25年間にわたり、勉強し続けています。ですので、日本の方にとって、英語のどんなところを苦手と感じられるのかもよく分かります。日本の方に英語を教えることを専門としていますので、日本語で英語を学びたいと思っている方もお気軽にご連絡ください。
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are fun, varied and always well thought-out and planned. I will regularly monitor your progress to see which areas we need to focus on and I will get feedback from you to make sure you are happy with the way things are going.
I don't have any "standard" courses - each lesson is designed with the individual student in mind. I work hard to ensure that every student gets the most out of every lesson.

It's been nearly 3 years since I started with her. She knows my strength and weakness in English very well, and customises lessons for my needs, which I love. She's very professional in many ways, but at the same time fun to talk with. She is a keen language learner herself, so it's nice that she understands difficulties in or joys of learning a language.

Jill is a real professional English teacher. Her classes are always well-designed, enjoyable, useful. We always work with fresh actual materials. Jill is very attentive to my requests and needs. It's too impressive that after 5 lessons you notice that your English level increases and you feel more comfortable in English-speaking area. I'm grateful to you!

Dear, Jill. Thank you very much for your wonderful lessons. Not only have I managed to improve my English but I also have become a more open-minded person. I really appreciate your enthusiasm and support, your knowledge and teaching skills. I've had more than 100 lessons with you (and I hope we will have more) and each of them was different. Looking forward to our next lesson!
