Sobre mim
Professor da italki desde 4 de May de 2018Tópico de interesseComidaHistóriaViagem
I'm originally from London but lived and worked in Greece for a number of years. I moved back to the United Kingdom with my partner before settling in Dubai for six years and then returning to Greece.
Update: I moved to Nagoya, Japan, in January 2023 and will be here until June.
Apart from travelling, cooking is one of my great passions. I love discovering new ingredients and different ways of using them and, of course, eating the fruits of my labour! I enjoy listening to music and I've recently discovered Middle Eastern music with its beautiful melodies and sounds.Minha atuação como professor
I’m a native English speaker and qualified teacher with many years’ experience teaching in England, Greece and Dubai. I have a BA and TESOL qualification.
I originally trained in Special Education and so I’m sensitive to the needs of each of my students. I’m good at explaining things in simple terms, reinforcing what a student has learnt and working at a pace that’s comfortable for them.
I've taught children as young as four and adults in their seventies. My students have had many and varied reasons for learning English. During the first lesson I like to spend time finding out about their language level, goals and interests before designing their individualised programme.Minhas aulas e estilo de ensino
My lessons are personalised and specially designed for each student, based on their English language level, goals and interests. I generally start with a short warm-up activity, after which I introduce our new topic or grammar point through a story, images or a short video.
We then practise our new grammar and vocabulary in many ways through a variety of stimulating activities. I support and encourage my students every step of the way, explaining grammar points as necessary, addressing any areas of weakness and showing them how to correct their errors.
The lesson finishes with a recap and a task to complete before the next lesson. After the lesson I send my students their lesson notes.Meu material de ensino

Experiência profissional
1977 - 1997
English Language TutorI taught English to children and adults in Athens in small groups and one-to-one lessons. I worked daily with students who were at different levels and who had different interests, goals and needs. This taught me to be flexible and adapt my strategies, methods and materials to suit each individual. It also gave me confidence in my knowledge of grammar and my ability to teach it effectively. Finally, I learned that preparation and consistency are important for a successful lesson.
1998 - 2003
Course LeaderI taught small groups of students with learning difficulties. I also designed a curriculum and course for my students. This was a valuable experience since it helped me develop effective strategies when teaching students of all levels of ability. It also helped me find ways of differentiating and personalising my delivery to suit each individual student's needs. Lastly I learned how to design and develop programmes of study. All these aspects will help me in my future teaching practice.
2015 - 2017
Senior School CoordinatorI worked as a team with many people from all over the world which gave me experience of different cultures and the importance of mutual understanding and respect.
2017 - 2018
Head of EducationI produced and implemented courses and delivered training, giving me valuable experience of planning, designing and delivering programmes.
