Sobre Mim
Professor da italki desde 25 de Oct de 2018Tópico de interesseArteEscritaLeituraViagemFilmes
I’m a friendly, professional teacher with years of classroom experience and over 4,000 lessons taught online. I tailor each lesson to be enjoyable, effective, and focused on your progress.
A native English speaker with a CELTA, a BA in English, and an MA in Creative Writing, I’ve taught at international schools in Hong Kong and England, and online with italki and Hujiang Ed. Tech. I recently completed Cambridge’s IELTS teacher training and now offer focused IELTS Writing and Speaking lessons — creative, structured, and designed to boost both your band score and your confidence.Minha atuação como professor
I’m an encouraging, organised teacher who helps students build confidence and accuracy in a relaxed, professional atmosphere. Before we start, I can provide an evaluation test to identify your level and goals so that we can focus on exactly what you need. In our lessons, I’ll guide you to improve your speaking, writing, grammar and overall communication skills through clear explanations, useful practice, and constructive feedback. My aim is for every student to feel supported and to see real, measurable progress. Minhas aulas e estilo de ensino
My lessons are structured yet flexible, combining discussion, skill-building and feedback. I use Off2Class to create a personalised study plan from hundreds of engaging lessons, and I’ll give targeted homework to consolidate your learning. For variety, I include materials from Fluentize, ESL Brains, and authentic news sources to strengthen listening and spark conversation on topics you are interested in - from books and culture to technology and the environment. I use Zoom exclusively because I value its reliability and the ease of sharing materials, which provides a better experience for students.Meu material de ensino

I absolutely love having classes with, Tess! She’s incredibly kind, always polite and genuinely sweet. Our lessons are so fun and relaxed that time just flies by I don’t even notice the hour passing. I’ve been enjoying every minute and I truly appreciate how she makes learning feel easy and enjoyable.

My English was rather rusty, but thanks to Tess, I am now fluent again. She is a truly excellent teacher, thoughtful, attentive, always ready to prepare materials and personalise your lessons. Her schedule is also very flexible, which is convenient for those who, like me, work. I would also add her personal qualities: Tess is an intelligent, sensitive person (she writes!) and also has a wonderful sense of humour. In short: highly recommended.
