About Me
italki teacher since Mar 25, 2019Interest topicTravelPets & AnimalsReading
My favorite book - The Little Coffee Shop of Kabul by Deborah Rodriguez
My favorite movie - The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
I love making books of my travels - Australia, England, Israel, Tanzania, Zanzibar, Kenya and of the lives of orphaned elephants and their reintegration into a wild life in Kenya.
Kenya is my favorite travel destination, I love its beauty and diversity, wild life and donkeys on the roadside, so much so that I am now learning to speak Swahili on Italki :-)Me as a Teacher
In the last 5 years I have worked in remote areas of Australia both as a Renal Dialysis Nurse and as an English Tutor. I hold a Diploma in TESOL and used my expertise to tutor mature aged aboriginal women, assisting them in their studies. These women may have 1or 2 tribal languages and English may be their 3rd or 4th language.
When home in Queensland, I host international students. My first student was a Chinese girl named Yoyo, undertaking her Masters, I assisted her with Conversational English, Australian idioms and slang. I have also hosted Punjabi and Indian students who are upgrading their nursing qualifications and assisted them with nursing terminology and conversational English.My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is one of listening to my students to understand where they need support, whether it’s for conversation at work, study or in social situations. I am patient and teach at a learning pace that each student will be comfortable with.My teaching material

Mrs Denise has shared so many of her fantastic experiences and stories to me, opening my eyes and mind. Now I’m realising there’re so many different kind of people/tribes living in different lifestyles. Australia has so colourful things and adventures. Thanks Denise!
