About Me
italki teacher since May 21, 2021InterestsTravelTechHistory
Hi, I’m Steve. I’m English and I live in the UK. I studied Psychology at University College London and worked mostly in the IT industry in different sectors: Government, Software House, Engineering. I have a TEFL certificate and I‘ve taught English in the UK, Thailand, Vietnam and Colombia. I like keeping fit, reading, music, theatre and current affairs but my No. 1 passion is travelling. As a teacher I’m calm, patient, relaxed and easy to talk with. I offer conversation classes focussed on speaking and listening skills. I'm very open-minded so if you want something different message me or book a trial lesson and we can discuss your needs.Me as a Teacher
I’ve been teaching English to non-native speakers since 2016. My students have come from many different countries and cultures. Different students have different challenges with pronunciation and understanding. Different students have different goals. I understand that and I adapt accordingly and put the focus where it is needed. I am fortunate to be a native English speaker and enjoy helping others improve their English skills. Teaching is also an excellent way to exchange cultures and ideas. I know learning another language isn’t easy and I promise to be patient and honest with you.My lessons & teaching style
My style is always relaxed and informal and I will help you build confidence. Feedback is given during the class.
Lessons are open and we can talk freely about any subject and just see where it goes. No preparation is required by student or teacher - we simply meet and talk! If you prefer we can base our conversation on a specific topic. Wherever we start you will be amazed at how a conversation can develop. (B1 - C2)My teaching material

Steve is a very many-sided and open-minded person, with whom every conversation brings something new. I learn new things about the UK (culture, public affairs etc.) and many new expressions in every lesson. I definitely recommend lessons with Steve to anyone who wants to have really good conversations.

Steve is really involved in conversation and that unables you to stay involved yourself and show your best at speaking.

This was my last lesson with Steve because I do not need his services anymore. I can only give positive feedback. I have always had great talks with him and he was always willing to find answers to my questions :). I like his flexibility and as he adapted very well to my needs! Thank you Steve for everything!!
