About Me
italki teacher since Apr 14, 2020Me as a Teacher
I teach children, teenagers, adults and professionals. I really enjoy teaching and I have practical hands on experience as I have been a teacher for over 20 years.
I have a Cambridge teaching qualifcation to teach English to foreign students and I have a specialised Business English teaching course. I also have an English teaching course to give classes online.
In addition, I have valuable experience in the international trade, language travel and international work placement sectors. I can incorporate this knowledge and skills related to business and professional English as and when needed.
Finally I also have good experience in official exam preparation.My lessons & teaching style
My classes are communicative, dynamic and student-centred. I like to do a lot of speaking activities and I can always look at grammar structures too as needed.
With classes for younger students I do a wide range of activities so that they can learn and enjoy at the same time.
In my business and adult general English classes we do many made to measure activities, focus on practising the language, improving fluency and vocabulary, revision of grammar structures and tenses, typical expressions...also we can do readings and listenings.
After the class I usually send a summary of class and offer homework options if the student would like to practise further.My teaching material
