Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 14 Jan 2020
My name is James, and I've been living in Germany for the last six years. I have a range of interests and a number of hobbies. I'm currently writing a novel in my spare time, I love reading, travelling, swimming, history, society and current affairs. I've lived in several countries and love to travel whenever I get the opportunity. I've been passionate about languages since I was a child, and love incorporating this into my professional life.
Ik als leerkracht
I started teaching English as part of my gap year travels by teaching students in government secondary schools in Tanzania. Later on, I successfully completed a TEFL course and I taught English on my integrated year abroad (as part of my university degree) in Austria. I started teaching again in Cologne in July 2018. I love helping students improve their English language skills and become more confident in using their new knowledge with each passing day.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
My teaching style is fun, enthusiastic and focused on the needs of the student. I tailor make my lessons using a variety of different techniques, focusing on the interests of the student and ensuring that all the difficult parts (vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation etc) of learning English are handled in easy to understand ways. I like to include games, quizzes and I use visual aids. I have experience using the English-only method and also of teaching English through the medium of other languages, notably French and German.
NB - My availability changes from week to week, so please book week day (i.e. Mon - Fri) lessons one at a time, or block book them in the evenings.

I recommend James as a tutor, if you are looking for a kind person, who is interested about what you are saying and adjusts lessons to your level of English.

I really appreciated, as usual, my English lesson with James. He's smart and helps his students to improve with their oral skills as well as their vocabulary!
