About Me

My name is Ian, and I am originally from Canada. I have lived and travelled to countries all over the world. I have also had the chance to speak to so many interesting people from different cultures and backgrounds. When I am not teaching and travelling, I enjoy reading and watching films. Also, I try to stay in shape by playing sports and doing a bit of exercise.Me as a Teacher
I am very friendly and approachable. I have been teaching for over 13 years, so I have seen most problems that students face in the classroom. Anything from difficulty remembering vocabulary, issues with grammar to dealing with motivation issues.
***NOTE*** I do NOT teach children. Unfortunately, I am not available to teach anyone under the age of 15. Thank you very much for your understanding.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are student-centered. This means that my lessons are focused on the needs of the individual student. We will make a plan that suits you. Generally, most of the lesson will be spent speaking and building your vocabulary and improving your grammar. I am a relaxed person, and I believe that creating a relaxed environment allows the learner to reach their potential.My teaching material

Business Communication FacilitatorHelping students better communicate in a professional environment. I conducted lessons on reading, writing, listening and speaking with a focus on language use in the workplace. Students were better prepared to write emails, reports, and proposals after completing my courses. Also, techniques, language, and practice was provided so that students could give amazing presentations and participate effectively in meetings in English.
