About Me
italki teacher since Jun 18, 2021InterestsMusicPets & AnimalsTravelFilms & TV SeriesFood
I specialised in English and Communications whilst studying toward a Bachelor of Arts degree. I have my TESOL certificate as well as a Diploma in Travel and Tourism. I completed other short courses as well, which include desktop publishing, sales, negotiations, and presentation skills amongst others.
With over 20 years of working experience, I enjoyed training, presentations & workshops. I love food, movies & music. I am friendly, adaptable and open to communication. We will discuss individual goals & establish areas of improvement.
My teaching approach is casual and conversational allowing for a neutral & comfortable environment.
I am friendly, adaptable and open to communication. I understand that each person is different and requires a different teaching approach. We will discuss individual goals and establish areas of improvement to ensure that we address them appropriately to enhance your English skills.
We will journey together and find the most suitable resources required to assist you, as I believe that a variety of resources should be used to enhance the overall learning experience.
My teaching approach is casual and conversational. It is a neutral and open environment to ensure that you feel comfortable and relaxed.
We can have conversational lessons where we discuss everyday topics or we can focus on reading, writing and speaking skills.
Alternatively, we can read through any essays, reports, or assignments and discuss the contents thereof.My teaching material
