My name is Gordon and I come from Scotland in the United Kingdom. I have many passions in life and I have always loved learning and teaching languages. I love learning about different cultures and meeting new people. For me variety is the spice of life. It makes life so much more fun and exciting. Always learning something new every day and learning how different cultures see the world. It is also one of the reasons why I love photography. I also love participating in different sports, especially football.
Me as a Teacher
I am a fully qualified CELTA teacher and I got my teaching certificate in 2012. I have been teaching English for 9 years to students from all over the world and I have accumulated a vast amount of teaching experience. I have taught in many different countries and helped students to prepare for their Trinity and Cambridge exams. I have enjoyed sharing my knowledge to inspire students to not just learn a language but to learn for the joy of learning.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are highly conversational and visual. I believe that if you want to learn a language then you have to speak it but it has to be about topics that you are interested in. What you enjoy talking about will make it much easier for your brain to process the language. I also have a lot of different teaching techniques that can be tailored to how a student learns. It does matter if you are a visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learner. I will be able to provide you with engaging material that will make learning a language a joy. My aim is to always make life easier for the student. I also like to send links beforehand of the material for the classes so that the students are well prepared.

I recommend this teacher. He is an open, empathetic, kind person who helps in teaching English. Suggests how native speakers speak, so that your speech is more natural and correct.
