About Me
italki teacher since Oct 8, 2021Interest topicSports & FitnessTravelMedical & Healthcare
I am a Beverlie, I am from England. I love to travel, being active and meeting new people. I am an active outdoor person (when I'm not being lazy) and I love hiking, running, swimming and generally being outdoors in nature. I love talking and my favourite topics of conversation are travel, current affairs, environment, psychology and well being.
I have an undergraduate in psychology and a postgraduate certificate in Education.Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching English for 5 years now. I have taught in high schools, institutions, and online. I have experience working with all levels of students, from advanced to beginner. For the last 2 years, I have specialised in working with children from as young as 4 years. I also have experience in supporting students preparing for the IETLS exam.
I believe in dynamic learning and will not only focus on grammar but will help you to develop your speaking confidence, listening skills, pronunciation and more.My lessons & teaching style
I am an adaptive and flexible teacher. I will quickly assess your level and individual needs and adapt our lessons to ensure you or your child meet your full learning potential as quickly as possible. All courses come with all material provided, including PDF, PPT, text, videos and audio. I will design a personalised lesson plan and learning trajectory to suit your learning needs. For Kids lessons, we will work with interactive presentations, videos and stories to ensure your child starts speaking and using the language from their first lesson. For IELTS I use specially designed material that is drawn from Cambridge materials. All lessons come with homework tasks if students desire these.My teaching material

Beverlie has been tutoring my 12-year-old daughter for about a year and a half now and we can see lots of progress. My daughter likes the way the lessons are structured, loves the videos and stories and finds Beverlie kind and supportive. Moreover, Beverlie is very responsive and adjusts her lessons to cover topics my daughter learns in school. We are very happy we found Beverlie on italki.
