Me as a Teacher
🎓 CELTA International House London - 2022
👨🏫 experience in teaching different levels - beginners to advanced
📚 General English (A2 to B2)
🗣 advanced conversation (A2 to C1)
✔ Cambridge-approved resources My lessons & teaching style
In our first class, I would like you to tell me about your goals with language learning, your habits in terms of language acquisition - if you have any -and what you would expect to achieve through our classes.
After we have discussed your language level and your target, I would like to give you the opportunity to express yourself in different ways providing you with constant and accurate feedback, so that you'll be able to recognize your strengths, as well as areas you should focus on.
Classes will be mostly informal and talkative, but you are encouraged to ask for specific explanations, should you feel the need.My teaching material

I’ve enjoyed working with John. His native knowledge of English helps me when I’m stuck and he’s an easy person to converse with.

A friendly and super patient teacher. What I love most about his lessons is that he will wait for me to finish a thought when I am having issues and will offer help if I need it. Will definitely continue to book!

Ho fatto una lezione di prova e mi sono trovata molto bene. L’insegnante è chiaro, disponibile e fin da subito ha cercato di capire i miei obiettivi e le mie esigenze. La lezione è stata ben organizzata e piacevole, mi sono sentita a mio agio e motivata a continuare. Consigliato!
