About Me
italki teacher since Jan 30, 2020
Hi, I'm Paddy, an online native English teacher living in Australia.
I specialise in Business English & native English conversation, as I love seeing my students succeed and grow confident!
→ Do you want to improve your skills at work so you can speak fluently with your boss, colleagues and clients? Do you want to be a leader?
With over 10 years of retail management experience, I can teach you the secrets behind creating amazing work relationships and help you with your career growth!
→ Or do you want to know how to speak smoothly in English with anyone you meet?
With my uni academic background, I focus on creating patterns and habits in your conversation so you can chat easily!
Me as a Teacher
* I use Skype + Zoom only for my classes, no Italki Classroom.
* I love working one-on-one with my adult students, so I do not offer group teaching or teaching children at the moment.
I believe there are no silly questions, you can learn from every mistake!
My style is student-focused, and I always try to make you feel comfortable and also encourage you to relax and practice speaking.
If you have questions, I will always try my best to answer them in class, and I'll always finish the lesson by talking about what areas you can work on in the future classes. You can also request exercises, homework and studying materials from me depending on the class.
My lessons & teaching style
NEW STUDENTS:
* Book a 30 min Conversation Class to meet me, and I'll teach you some new skills at the same time!
CLASSES:
- Conversation (No homework needed: improve fluency, vocabulary + flow with a native speaker!)
- Grammar (Existing students only: please discuss first with me!)
- Phrasal Verbs (Intermediate students: sound like a native with phrasal verbs!)
- Business Basics (grow workplace confidence, networking and small talk!)
- Business Specialisation (be a huge success at interviews, presentations, editing documents, and knowing business terms!)
I love hearing you grow in terms of confidence and ability, so I always try to focus on you having fun while learning!

Paddy is really nice, patient and professional. She helped me prepared CV and cover letter, not only point out where should be improve, she also gave me some example and show me what sentences or wording used in professional term.

In today’s lesson, we talked about emotional intelligence and different types of empathy. I’ve been taking lessons with Paddy for about two months now and I’m happy with my progress so far:) I feel more confident and better prepared to deal with the challenges at work. Thanks a lot for your support, Paddy!

She helped me improve my resume and cover letter. This time I learned the importance of how specific you write, but more importantly, without her, I wouldn't have even known which part and in what perspective I had to be specific.
My resume became incredibly professional, which I didn't expect at all. As another student said in her review, I am 100% sure it's a lot more than a language lesson.
Thanks a lot, Paddy. I really appreciate you have been an English teacher, with your great career experiences.

In the class today, we discussed about a plan in both of professional life and personal life. Paddy guided me on how to lead remote sessions and how to motivate participants to be more interactive. Thank you Paddy for all of the helpful advice that you always rendered 👍🏻
