Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 25 Sep 2015InterestsScienceFoodHistoryGamingEnvironment & Nature
I am an enthusiastic and accomplished online English language teacher, coach, and facilitator focused on engaging learners to build confident communicative fluency.
With a BA (Hons) in Drama with Creative Writing, CELTA, and over 35 years of experience, I have a genuine passion for teaching fun lessons using creative techniques to enrich the language learning experience.
My interests are varied, and I love learning new things. Right now, I’m into Chinese cooking, AI technology, ancient Egypt, my teenage son, and world travel.
I am passionate about my career as an English teacher and enjoy nothing more than seeing my students improve their ability in English and build their confidence. I have 100% success in all exams and courses I have taught. I never let a student fail.
I take great pride in my lessons and always seek ways to develop my skills and abilities as a teacher. I am Cambridge CELTA qualified and have led teacher training courses.
Teaching drama and producing theatre with Business English majors at a university in Thailand was the most rewarding period of my career. My experience and skills are wide-ranging, just take a look at my resume.
Every lesson is different but the goal is always to encourage students to be productive. The time you spend with me should be used effectively. A calm and patient approach allows the student to gain confidence and improve communicative fluency.
Outside of the lesson, I will give you the tools and advice you need to study ...Mijn lesmateriaal
