About Me
italki teacher since Aug 4, 2021InterestsSports & FitnessTravelScience
Born and raised in England 100% English, I spent most of my working career in the Air Force as an engineer travelling around the world. The last 5 years before my relocation to Vietnam I was teaching military students aircraft engineering with age ranges 17-35. I enjoy swimming, golf, watching most sports, travelling the world and of course teaching. I have also Bungee jumped in New Zealand several times. I am living full time in Vietnam but am 100% English just decided to move East.
I am patient and understanding. I am always on time for the lessons booked and I expect the same. I treat punctality as respect to the person you are going to meet. Of course there will be emergency siuations where the lesson cannot be attended and that is life. However a short message or text would be appreciated when convenient and it works both ways. I am looking forward to teaching each and every one of you who choose me as your tutor.
I am a good listener and will focus my attention 100% on your needs. I try to make you feel at ease and that you are my sole focus. I can chat about anything and everything, I want to learn about you, your country, your customs, your likes and dislikes whilst all the while trying to improve your English standard to a level you require. I am currently teaching all levels on italki both conversational and business. I look forward to chatting to you and helping to progress your English speaking technique.My teaching material

Another interesting conversation with Alan again. I really enjoyed the interaction very much and I was given ample time to articulate my ideas. It’s ideal for practising my spoken English.
