About Me
italki teacher since Feb 4, 2020InterestsWritingScienceHistoryBusiness & FinanceTravel
I am an energetic, enthusiastic , and mature Canadian man. Most of my learners would describe me as a friendly, technically-minded and able person.
Before I returned to English teaching, I was an accountant in the Canadian energy (oil & gas) industry. I graduated with a Canadian Commercial (Multi-IFR) Pilot Licence (1992).Me as a Teacher
I have eleven (11) years of English teaching experience, mostly with adults ESL learners. I am more of a coach than a teacher. Learning is much more important than teaching: my job is to motivate and encourage my learners to become more confident in themselves. I don't just 'teach' English! I help motivate my people to learn English with real-life materials.
Nowadays, I am more focused on helping adult B2's, C1's, and C2's practice and improve their spoken English skills. Still, I enjoy working with any learners aged 17 and older.
Please, DON'T request a lesson unless you are at least 17 and have B2 or higher in the CEF. Please DO NOT book lessons on behalf of children.My lessons & teaching style
I think of myself as more of a coach than a teacher. Learning is much more important than teaching: my job is to motivate and encourage my learners to become more confident in themselves.
Making mistakes is very important! Mistakes that you learn from become valuable lessons. I don't just 'teach' English! I help motivate students to learn English and to eventually teach themselves.
My lessons are strongly student-centered. With me as your English coach, you will learn to become more self-directed and independent. All of us should think critically, habitually asking: who, what, when, where, why, and how. 🙂My teaching material
