Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 23 Nov 2021Interest topicArtGamingScience
I'm a native English speaker from the Scotland in the UK, currently living in Mexico. As well as an online English tutor I am also an artist & designer, I work freelance designing board games and graphic design, as well as painting portraits. I have a passion for story and writing which fuels my interest in using language to express and communicate.
I am a freindly and easy going person, I can always find something to talk about and connect with others. I like to meet and talk to new people and find out what is interesting for them.Ik als leerkracht
I have been working as a TEFL online teacher for 2 and a half years, helping students of all ages and abilities improve their fluency goals. The feedback I have gotten from my students is that I am friendly, patient, and that I explain words well in an way that is interesting.
I like to make sure students feel relaxed and comfortable in class, so that they don't feel worried by any mistakes or corrections. Building general rapport in class is often a goal, as I find the better I get to know a student the easier to it is to explain learning points in a context that makes sense the them.Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
My teaching style is focused around conversation, reading, and exercises. All are aimed at finding new learning points and practicing them in realistic ways. I like to give students the words and phrases that will allow them to feel that they can express themselves effectively, so as we go through class I often repeat back to them what I have understood and any suggestions I can recommend for improvement. This is aimed at helping students gain confidence that they are using the language clearly and effectively.Mijn lesmateriaal

Bachelor’s - Computer Games ArtsA course geared towards producing high quality generalist artists for the computer games industry, students were encouraged to specialise half way through the second year where we got more heavily into team projects. I learned lots of art fundamentals like, line, colour, form, perspective, etc. One of the most important lessons learned here was how to learn, seeking information and finding ways of learning that work for me.

He is one of the best English teachers I've ever met! We discussed two topics related to our satisfaction; the comparison between drinking orange juice and eating oranges, and the benefit of growing vegetables in our garden apart from the economic reason. He corrected my mistakes and advised better expressions to refine my English to be more concise and articulate. On top of that, his opinion was so attractive and insightful that I could enjoy the conversation itself beyond the primary purpose of language learning!! Look forward to the next lesson!!!
