Yo como profesor
- I taught English in China from 2014-2018
- In 2018 I became the lead teacher in my school, I also travelled around China training other English teachers
- At the end of 2018 I went back to the UK and taught IELTS courses in a local college
- In 2019 I started teaching online, and went full time in 2020!
- I have taught students from every continent of the world (apart from Antarctica), one of my proudest working achievements!Mis clases y método de enseñanza
- The best way to learn a language is to use it, so I make sure that my students get LOADS of natural speaking practice in our class
- I believe that we learn better when we enjoy what we're doing, so I always make sure my lessons are fun and interesting for my students, whether they're adults or kids!
- My lessons are tailor-made to the student and my courses are flexible. In our trial class we will discuss your goals, level, and get to know each other better, then I'll make a detailed course plan especially for you
- I use the best quality modern materials that allow us to have fun and experiment with language
- I specialise in helping IELTS students boost their speaking and writing scoresMi material didáctico

Experiencia docente
2014 - 2018
Lead TeacherI taught classroom English to students of all ages and abilities. My role included planning lessons and developing my own materials. In my final year I became Lead Teacher of the school, taking on extra responsibilities in course development, teacher training and student feedback reporting. I believe all of these elements will be relevant to my work with italki.
2019 - 2020
English and IELTS TeacherI taught General English and IELTS courses as ILS after completing my CELTA there in 2019. The classes were all classroom based but required similar skills to teaching online: Course structuring and lesson planning, developing classroom materials, adapting textbooks and ebooks, delivering lessons to students of different abilities and nationalities.
2019 - Actual
English TeacherI began teaching English online to private clients the beginning of 2019 having just returned home from teaching in China. Most of my clients have been students that I met whilst in China and have kept in contact with, along with others that have generally been acquired through word of mouth recommendations. Alongside this, I have been working for a local English school which moved all of its classes permanently online in September 2019. I am therefore well-versed in online language teaching.

Matt is one of the best English teachers I’ve ever met. He has a rare talent for making you speak. Even though our classes follow a normal dialogue structure, I end up speaking 90% of the time – something no other teacher has managed to achieve.
Another great quality of Matt is his adaptability. He’s always ready to meet all of my learning needs. Some years ago, we focused on casual conversation; this year, he helped me prepare for my final speaking exam. Now, we’re going to strengthen my B2-level.
On top of that, Matt is just a great person – charismatic, easygoing, cheerful, and he’s got a fantastic British accent!

很久没面对面英语交流了，虽然隔着屏幕，我还是会紧张的。感觉很不错！会想要继续上课。一些我不能很好表达的语句，老师能够get到我的意思，并且在我需要的时候提示我说出来。
As a new user in italki, this is my first lesson. Having some similarities in experience is amazing! Although I am a introverted person (according to MBTI test), I feel good and relax in the conversation.
