About Me
italki teacher since Apr 29, 2020InterestsWritingScienceHistoryTechReading
My name is Ian and I'm from Northampton in the UK. I have been a teacher for the past 14 years and my teaching career has taken me all over the world. I have taught in England, South Korea, Hungary, China and Tbilisi, Georgia but nowadays I live in the rainy city of Manchester! My passions include reading non-fiction books, hiking and exploring new places with people I love.Me as a Teacher
I am a fully qualified English teacher with 14 years of experience teaching students from all over the world and of all different levels. I started teaching in 2010, earning my CELTA qualification in 2012 and starting my DELTA in 2017.
Currently I teach a lot of group classes on italki - Including my popular Book Clubs - If you want to see the classes I offer you can check them out here - https://www.italki.com/en/group-class/7149455/english
I specialise in teaching advanced levels and IELTS exam preparation. However, throughout my career I have taught everyone from beginner to advanced and from students to CEO's and I can plan lessons for students of any level.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are interactive and designed to give you the most effective and authentic speaking experience possible. Each lesson is planned and structured around a specific aspect of English - Grammar, Speaking, Reading, Vocabulary, Listening etc. - and I use a range of different materials including PDF books, YouTube videos, TED talks, PowerPoint presentations and more. I like to have meaningful discussions that are indicative of the real-world and I try to avoid discussing ‘boring’ topics such as the weather, vacations and hobbies. Additionally, I have a passion for books and as such I have developed comprehensive English courses around some of the most popular nonfiction books available.My teaching material

Ian is one of the best teachers I have ever had. He makes the classes interesting no matter if we read the articles or talk. I look forward to our next meeting!

Había tomado otras dos sesiones del círculo de lectura con Ian y en esta ocasión, en un curso privado, leímos "The Psycopath Test". Disfruté mucho la lectura, así como la forma en la que lleva la sesión para estimular el diálogo. Si les gusta la lectura y el intercambio de ideas a partir de ella, así como enriquecer el vocabulario, les recomiendo mucho inscribirse a un club de lectura con Ian.
