Hi Everyone!
I am a 34 year old English teacher from the Northern Ireland who specialises in IELTS, and I love helping students pass their exams!
I'm also a language learner, and I love to help students speak more naturally and reduce their mistakes! (I'll be very active in doing this :) )
Aside from exam preparation, talk to me about anything! I love sports, art, business, philosophy, videography, science, politics, media, travel, culture, nutrition.. and just about everything else!Ik als leerkracht
As a teacher I would say that I am social, objective and caring. I love to make the learning process fun and enjoyable!
Social: I try to shape it like a social meeting where the student has opportunities to speak, question, observe, discover, grow and express. As a language-learner myself, I know that it is a journey to become fluent and to attain a high level and I most certainly choose to make it a pleasant ride!
Objective: I always ask my students what they want to learn or focus on so that we are fulfilling goals and achieving targets. Why waste time? Let's have fun but let's also get better!
Caring: I really care about my students and really want that they achieve their goals. Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
-My lessons are customized and focus on exactly what the student wants to focus on.
-My lessons are goal-orientated. We set goals in the class of what we want to achieve and we go and take the necessary steps towards realizing those goals.
-My lessons are feedback-heavy. I give lots of feedback for each student. Feedback makes us better.
I teach both IELTS Academic and IELTS General. This includes:
-Writing Task 1(General& Academic)
-Writing Task 2
-Speaking Part (1-3)
-Listening
-Reading (Academic & General)
A typical lesson would involve:
1) Asking the student what they want to focus on.
2) Showing the student how to achieve their set goals.
3) Practicing through tests & feedback.Mijn lesmateriaal
