About Me

*Currently only teaching students with a level of B1 or above - sorry!*
Hi there! What would you like to know about me?
- I'm 29 years old, and I'm based in the East of England.
- I'm TEFL qualified!
- I've taught in schools, including the role of "Director of Studies" for an international summer camp.
- I'm musical: I play guitar and sing in a duo, but I've also played drums and piano in the past.
I also enjoy busking and writing my own songs.
- I love travelling! I spent a month studying in France, and I've been "interrailing", visiting 8 countries in Europe within 30 days. I do speak some French, donc j'aime bien aller dans les pays francophones autant que possible!Me as a Teacher
Since becoming a TEFL teacher, I've worked for a charity that teaches English to refugees and asylum seekers, I've taught private English lessons online and I've also worked in a boarding school where "English as an Additional Language" was part of the curriculum. There, I assisted another EAL teacher, taught 1-to-1 lessons, small group lessons and led full-class lessons when the main teacher was unable to do so. After this, over the summer, I was the EAL co-ordinator for a summer school. This involved providing resources and giving help to less experienced teachers at the camp, and resolving any issues that arose in the teaching department.My lessons & teaching style
I am happy to cover any topics you wish to discuss - I love the variation! I do like to use a bit of humour in lessons to try to make them feel more laid-back and hopefully less stressful!
Lessons include a 5-minute break to allow a smooth transition from one class to the next.
Therefore:
- 30-minute slot = 25-minute lesson
- 60-minute slot = 55-minute lesson
*REFUND POLICY*
Unfortunately, I am unable to refund payment for lessons which are not cancelled on italki at least 24 hours prior to the start of the scheduled lesson. I realise that unforeseen circumstances may arise but due to the way the booking system works, I believe this is the way I can be fair to all students.My teaching material

Thank you so much Reuben for your patience ; I really felt comfortable talking to you right from the start. One of the main reasons was that you're a passionate person and I never ran out of ideas and topics in order to talk to you. I learnt a lot of phrases that are very useful for the everyday life conversation. You're also a very good teacher because not only did you listen to your students but also you made them speak. As for me, I wish I could talk to you about music for hours and hours if we had enough time: but that will be for another session. But beyond that, You can talk to Reuben about any topic ( politics, work, and of course music...).
Last but not least: Reuben is very devoted , dedicated, for he talked to me way longer than He was supposed to do; so devotion, professionalism are the key words I can think of ...Thank you Reuben; I'm really looking forward to talk to you again.

I had a great first lesson with Reuben. In advance, we agreed to talk about travelling and I did not prepare myself to check how good (or bad) I can speak. Talking is a challenge to most English learners (this is also my case) and I was challenged to speak as I was expecting. In addition, I felt relaxed during our conversation. I think that is a key to success. Highly recommended !
