Sobre mim
Professor da italki desde 21 de Oct de 2015Tópico de interesseJogandoHistóriaLeituraFilmesCiências
Hallo/Hello/你們好/Dia Daoibh! and thank you for visiting my italki profile. I am Reuben, originally from Northern Ireland, now living in Hong Kong.
My love for language teaching stems from my personal linguistic adventure. Navigating the acquisition of German as a native English speaker has afforded me valuable insights into effective methods for English speakers aspiring to master German.
It has been a privilege to assist many students, initially unfamiliar with the German language, in achieving their linguistic objectives.
Please choose Zoom when booking lessons. Lessons finish 5 minutes shorter than stated (e.g. 1 hour = 55 mins) so I can start the next one on time.
Minha atuação como professor
As a language teacher, I have had the distinguished privilege of teaching in secondary schools and universities in several countries. My expertise lies in fostering students' oral proficiency, refining their academic writing, and guiding them through the intricacies of the IELTS and Goethe exams.
I aim for a friendly teaching approach, cultivating a comfortable environment in lessons while ensuring a thorough coverage of material, which means you can ask questions at anytime. Once I understand your unique learning style, I will work with you to help you reach your language goals.
Also I can provide you with homework for you to reinforce your learning after our sessions, if you want.Minhas aulas e estilo de ensino
I plan what we will cover in advance of each lesson. You may also make requests for what you would like to cover.
I use a range of textbooks, workbooks, websites, audio files, and my own handmade materials. You will not need to buy any materials to take lessons with me as I will share my screen for us to work on.
Please choose Zoom when booking lessons. Lessons finish 5 minutes shorter than stated to allow me to start the next on time. I wait for 10 minutes if there is no sign of you or any contact from you, I consider the lesson completed, i.e. no refund is given. Lessons can only be rescheduled more than 24 hours in advance. Lessons may be rescheduled once only.Certificados

Fantastic! Reuben is everything instructor should be with a subject as complicated as German. After wasting a semester in a regular Uni course and spending much of the time confused and frustrated, he's managed in a few sessions to make all of the past tenses understandable and even fun (!). He uses a lot of mnemonic tricks to make the ideas and rule memorable. Patient, funny. I enjoy every session

Reuben is a very nice teacher and also easy to talk to. His lesson is always interesting and attractive. He is my recommendation to English learners as well as German learners.
I was lucky to find an excellent teacher like you on italki, Reuben. I'm grateful that you have taught me since this April. I wish you will continue to teach me next year. I realised that you really liked learning languages when you talked about something you wished in the lesson today. That is one of the reasons I respect you. If only I had brilliant talent for acquiring foreign languages as you do. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. I wish you a very happy new year!! See you next year!

When I told you that I was helping my student get used to reading English papers, I was afraid that you would wonder whether I was enough proficient in English to help others learn it. But I am sure that my English is also improving little by little. Thank you very much. See you soon!

Perfect lessons are interesting, engaging and productive, they have to have the right depth, and preferably be entertaining as well as educational, and Reuben consistently and easily delivers on all counts.

I've had two sessions with Ruben so far, and each time I felt truly at ease, respected, and heard.
He has a great sense of humour and human connection, and he knows how to adapt to your energy without ever making you feel pressured.
If you're looking for a teacher to help you improve your English in a natural, relaxed way — while actually making progress — I highly recommend him.
Thanks again Ruben, and looking forward to more!
