Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 28 Jun 2021Interest topicHistoryReadingReizen
Hello! My name is Kevin, I'm 56 and come from Manchester in the UK. I have been teaching English and German for twenty-four years, twenty-two of them in a language and vocational school. I enjoy hiking, reading, chess, films, music and astronomy. Of course, I also love learning languages. I did French and Russian at university and I also speak Italian and Spanish. I also enjoy studying dead languages. Alongside Latin and Greek, I recently started learning Old English and if anyone's interested, I'd love to teach that too.Ik als leerkracht
I have a CELTA qualification in teaching English to adults. I have an MA degree in French and Russian from the University of Oxford and another MA in Translation studies from the University of Portsmouth. I also have a lot of experience preparing students for the Cambridge English exams at different levels. I think that learning a language should be fun. I adapt my lesson to your needs and requests and we can discuss that in your trial lesson. **Please note that I do not teach children or those in their early teens. I only offer lessons to students aged at least 16 years old. **Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
I think lessons should be student-centred. That means that it's important that the student talks as much as possible and doesn't just listen to the teacher. If you would like to do general conversation lessons, you can talk about anything you like. You can expect carefully prepared and well-structured lessons. I really enjoy preparing students for English exams (Cambridge, IELTS, TOEIC and TOEFL) and teaching business English. I particularly like learning about the different countries and cultures that my students come from.Mijn lesmateriaal

Werkervaring

This has been a useful experience for teaching on italki in that I have learnt to use various online tools to teach students, such as an online whiteboard and Google Docs for recording error corrections.

Kevin is an excellent teacher. He is very kind and patient, and his error correction is very thorough. He listened very carefully to what I wanted and needed and was very helpful and professional. I had a great lesson and I'm looking forward to booking more!
