Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 26 Feb 2025InterestsMuziekReizen
I am a native British English speaker and live in the UK (England). I retired from the University of Leeds in the summer of 2023, where I worked in Finance, and have been working part-time since then as a tutor of English. I am married with 2 adult children and enjoy different aspects of music in my spare time. I play in an orchestra, sing in a choir and play piano. I am 61 years old.Ik als leerkracht
I qualified in December 2023 having completed the CELTA programme (Cambridge-accredited). I have been tutoring since then, mostly online. I also teach literacy face-to-face to learners in my neighbourhood. I am joining Italki to teach English.Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
I can either chat to people informally or provide a more structured approach to aspects of language, with my background knowledge of language, and familiarity with grammar and other areas. Grammar is a particular strength and I have prepared learners for their IELTS speaking tests over the past year.Mijn lesmateriaal
- Artikelen en nieuws
- Afbeeldingsbestanden
- Tekstdocumenten
- Quizzen
