About Me
italki teacher since Oct 13, 2021Interest topicFilms & TV SeriesReadingTravel
Hello there! Thank you for visiting my profile. My name is Jodie and I come from the UK.
I have had a varied professional background, and prior to teaching, I worked on films, television, and live theatre, across a variety of production and stage management roles.
From 2017-2020 I lived and taught in Shenzhen, China, and I have been learning Chinese for the last four years（ 我希望能用中文帮助你学习英语。)
One of my favourite things about being an English teacher is talking to people with backgrounds that are different from my own, and learning about their lives. I also love talking about travel, careers, language, education, family, theatre, movies, podcasts, food, and books.Me as a Teacher
I have been tutoring both online and in-person for the last five years, and I have also spent several years in China, teaching ESL, drama, theatre studies, and filmmaking at a bilingual middle school.
I have experience helping students work towards their IELTS exams, teaching English to assist students in specific business and academic environments, assisting teenagers attending international schools, coaching my students for public speaking events, and putting together individualized reading and writing programs, based on my students' interests.My lessons & teaching style
I work hard to tailor my lessons to the needs of my students and make sure that they feel supported in my classes.
Your lessons will be very much your own and can be spent however you would like, whether that's targeting your individual grammar difficulties, expanding specific vocabulary, working towards passing your exams, or just chatting about our lives and what interests us.
Feel free to book a trial class with me so that we can get to know each other and discuss what you wish to gain from your English classes. I hope that we can have an upbeat and insightful class together soon.My teaching material

I learn a lot from Jodie and she is so patient when I make a grammar mistake she correct me in a polite way. She always prepares material for the lesson and gives decent recommendations.

Jodie was great! She's very positive and alive, it's very comfortable to work with her. During the 30-min lesson she gave quite a lot of helpful information.
