Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 15 May 2020Interest topicITReizenFood
Hello! My name is James.
I'm a native English speaker and I've been helping learners of all levels improve their English, on-site and online, since 2010. I live in France, and speak French (relatively) fluently, and am currently making progress with Esperanto but struggling with Irish.
My interests include cooking, reading, technology, and slow-speed rail travel. I'm open to language exchanges.
If you see breaks in my availability it's probably because I'm teaching "in the real world".Ik als leerkracht
Before starting to teach English, I was a web developer for many years. I decided I wanted a change in 2010 and haven't looked back. When I finished my Celta in Paris, the centre hired me immediately and I stayed there for a couple of years before moving to the south-west.
Face-to-face, I mostly teach professionals in companies. I've helped people in large companies like EDF, Manpower, and SFR, in smaller companies and have also taught nurses for the Croix Rouge Française.Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
I adapt my teaching to my students' learning. I like it when people are at ease in their lessons, so I favour a conversational approach which fosters confidence. The most important thing is that you get to speak so you can make mistakes and improve. I feel it's important to tackle the grammar occasionally (I secretly lovely a bit of grammar!), but I hope it's not like being at school again!Mijn lesmateriaal

We had a good conversation with James on travelling experiences. The lesson was interesting and interactive. I learned some new phrases and had a change to practice my communication skills. Looking forward to next lessons.
