Hi, I'm Rob Powell, an experienced and qualified English teacher with a degree in photography. I'm certified with a PTLLS Level 4 teaching qualification and am currently living in Bogota, Colombia. I'm also studying Spanish and understand the challenges of learning a new language. I'm patient, supportive, and create a welcoming environment in my lessons. I encourage using real-life experience and a creative approach to learning. I provide a variety of links and materials to support my teaching and give further learning opportunities. Teaching conversational English is inspiring for me and I feel privileged to share with people from around the world.Me as a Teacher
I'm passionate about cultural exchange and incorporate it into my teaching. I use real-life situations and a variety of different materials to make learning immersive and engaging. Learning a new language helps us understand and appreciate different cultures as well as reflect better on our own. I believe that learning should be driven by enjoyment and exploration and that with an engaging subject and conversation we learn naturally.My lessons & teaching style
I am an experienced and knowledgeable teacher looking to provide a fun and friendly class through real-life experiences, creativity and culture. I focus on expanding vocabulary, correcting errors, and improving fluency while also giving students the freedom to discuss a variety of topics. I incorporate grammar instruction into my lessons to help students understand the underlying rules of the language. My goal is to provide a personalized and engaging learning experience that meets the needs of each individual student.My teaching material

Recently had another great English lesson with Rob. His teaching style is not only effective but also enjoyable. Rob's warmth creates a comfortable learning environment. He goes above and beyond to ensure everyone understands, making the lessons engaging and dynamic. I always recommend him to friends and blog subscribers. If you're looking for a skilled and personable English teacher, Rob is the one!

The lesson was great as always. Rob is very friendly and supportive. Besides teaching the language, he also brings lots of curious information about the UK culture and its difference from South America´s. As we are pushed to speak out about a big range of controversial issues, we can feel our speaking skills going to the next level.

After several classes with Rob I can confirm that he is an excellent teacher. He adapts to each student in a natural way, giving them the opportunity to communicate in a comfortable environment, gives advice and provides interesting material to practice conversation. It is easy to learn new vocabulary and gain fluency thanks to his work, his patience and his responsibility.

I have tried 4/5 teachers on italki so far. Then I met Rob. Best teacher up to now in my opinion. This is my first review on italki and I would like to explain why in my view Rob is a good teacher.
He is very prepared. I like the way he focuses on you. Through conversation he understands your hobbies and interests and he asks to you questions and opinions about them. In this way you can improve your speaking skills. If you cannot understand something he writes the word on the chat and then he explains it. In this way you can learn new vocabularies. Moreover he corrects you “offline” without interrupt you. In this way you can learn from your mistakes.
Without any doubt I will continue to have lessons with him! :)
