About Me
italki teacher since Oct 19, 2021Me as a Teacher
I'm an easy-going, approachable, attentive, insightful, clear, and sensitive teacher. I have over 18 years' experience teaching, tutoring and mentoring students of English and Linguistics. I've taught students of all ages and all levels of proficiency, from beginners to near bilinguals: A1 to C2 and beyond.
I have particularly extensive expertise in pronunciation and academic writing, which have been central to my academic career for over 20 years. If you have a special interest in developing and practicing these skills, I'll be especially useful to you.My lessons & teaching style
I like to get to know my students and their skills, so we'll likely spend the beginning of our first session chatting about ourselves. I'll take this as an opportunity to identify your linguistic strengths and weaknesses.
I tailor my sessions and materials according to your goals, so please share your learning preferences with me. I generally aim for a mixture of thematic presentation, focused and free practice, and spontaneous conversation in a session, as long as time permits.
I keep up to date on developments in language teaching and learning research, so that I can bring to my students those teaching methodologies and techniques that have been proven to be best and most effective.My teaching material

Stephen was very well prepared. He carefully selected the exercises and put up an elaborate programme which was suitable for me to improve my weaknesses in a specific and desired way. During the lessson, it was amazing to see how detailed he explained the application of phonetics to me. He also responded to all my questions comprehensively and patiently.

Stephen is one of the most patient and informative teacher I have ever met. It is great to have a professional around to explain everything in an understandable way while reading academic texts.

Stephen is a very pleasant and patient teacher. In my first lesson, he created a calm, enjoyable and encouraging learning atmosphere. In addition, I benefited from his comments as an expert of phonetics. But he also gave me feedback on my mistakes in grammar and vocabulary. I am looking forward to my future lessons with Stephen.
