About Me
italki teacher since Jul 27, 2021Interest topicTravelFoodSports & Fitness
I am from Edinburgh, Scotland in the UK and I have a background in travel and customer service, but in more recent years, I have focused my energies on teaching English to speakers of other languages due to my passion for learning languages, travel and meeting new people from all over the world.
I have been teaching online with italki for over a year now, working and living in Phuket, Thailand, and prior to that, I worked throughout the pandemic in a local Thai private school teaching kindergartens English, Maths and Science.
Some of my interests include learning new languages, travel, cooking, sport, music, and teaching! 😀Me as a Teacher
I am Level 5 TEFL Certified with teaching practice included, meaning I'm qualified to teach English to speakers of other languages. I am also a native English speaker who is calm, considerate and patient. I do understand how difficult it can be when learning a new language, therefore, I try to engage with my students and make the lessons as enjoyable as possible so that my students don't feel too overwhelmed. I'm very open-minded, and you can ask me all the questions you want, as many times as you want. 😀
I'm happy to discuss a variety of topics that my students would like to discuss, and if there is a particular skill they want to focus on, that's something I can help with too.My lessons & teaching style
👉🏻 In my lessons, I will encourage my students to speak as much as possible, no matter what their level of English is. I try to keep my lessons fun but serious, and offer feedback and encouragement throughout my students learning journey.
👉🏻 I include many interactive activities in my General English lessons, and I use a range of digital resources which include PowerPoint presentations, worksheets, reading comprehensions with quizzes and questions. My classes are based on a positive encouragement where I emphasize the importance of student free talk.
📌 With me, the class continues after the lesson as I will assist homework to my students if their schedule allows for it.My teaching material

Level 5 168 hours TEFL Certificate - The TEFL Academy UK - 2021This was an intense university level course whereby I was required to do 10 units of work that covered many aspects of English and teaching the English language. There was tests at the each of unit, as well as throughout them, but the main parts were the 3 assignments which included vocabulary teaching tables, lesson plans, short essays and Harvard style bibliographies. The course was very challenging but perfect for a new English teacher to speakers of other languages.

Work Experience
2021 - 2021
Online kindergarten teacherI was working for a private school in southern Thailand and my role was to teach the subjects of English, Maths and Science to kindergarten students throughout the pandemic when children could not come to school, therefore the lessons were held over the Zoom platform. I taught up to 20 students at a time in vide conference calls and mainly used resources such as PowerPoint presentations which included games and activities. I also provided tasks for them to do and kept my lessons engaging.
