About Me
italki teacher since Oct 8, 2019Me as a Teacher
I have been an English teacher, teacher trainer, and supervisor for over 15 years now. Over the last 10 years, I have helped hundreds of language learners just like you to get certificates like the Cambridge preliminary and Cambridge Advanced and to get the score they were aiming for in the IELTS or TOEFL.My lessons & teaching style
My specialty is exam preparation (IELTS specifically). In my classes, I try to be flexible and use a variety of different resources to boost your English and your confidence to speak in front of others. My mission here is to find the most efficient ways to suit your needs in language learning.
My classes are also fun and interesting and I think that's why many of my students are my friends too.
one of the most important things I believe language learners should know is how they should study and learn different skills of a language, and that is the area I am an expert at.My teaching material

I feel that Matthew is a very professional teacher！ I can not help recommending to others！ I find the distance between my chinese teachers and Matthew .It is very nice to meet he and I think some tips and thinking about writing are so helpful for me . I am looking forward to the next lesson.

This combo of unplanned conversation and using the content of the course book for realistic situations is very useful.

Matt is easy to talk with and always well prepared. We use a study book, but conversation topics go also beyond the book, what ever is relevant.
