About Me

italki teacher since Oct 24, 2016

InterestsArtFoodReading

I am a theatre director with a BA in English and Theatre (Warwick) and a Masters in Theatre Directing (Birkbeck, University of London). I love learning foreign languages and meeting people from around the world. Over the years, I've studied lots of languages, so I appreciate the rewards and challenges you can meet on the way!

Me as a Teacher

After using italki for my own language practice, I started helping other people to improve their English. I think you learn best when you're relaxed and having fun. In our first lesson we will probably talk about why you're learning English and what your goals are. It's important to me that we practise the English you want to be able to use, so I'll be guided by your interests, passions and needs. Beyond italki, I have given one-on-one French tuition, and have taught English and theatre skills to students of all ages.

My lessons & teaching style

My lessons tend to be free-flowing conversations and I will help you to express your ideas and feelings in English. You can suggest topics for conversation, or I can help you prepare for a presentation, or we can just chat. I can help you have your very first conversation in English, or finesse the finer points of your mastery of English. In every lesson, I make notes of corrections, and useful vocabulary and grammar, that come up in conversation so that you can review later. I don't set homework but I might recommend resources or exercises to help you with specific goals. NEW: I have added new lessons on Speaking Practice (for oral exams and presentations) and Shakespeare.
