Sobre mim
Professor da italki desde 24 de Jun de 2021Tópico de interesseViagemTecnologiaCiências
Hi, I am Debbie from Liverpool in the UK and I am a native English language teacher. I am currently living in Italy as I returned to Europe after travelling the world for 16 years. During this time I taught many courses to non-native English speakers so my spoken English is very clear without an accent. Prior to this, I was a Research Chemist at a large multinational company. My educational background is in Chemistry and I have a 1st class Chemistry degree from Kingston University in London. During my travels I have worked as a teacher but also developing websites for companies, writing articles and content.Minha atuação como professor
On returning to Europe I completed the TEFL course to teach English as a foreign language followed by the Teaching IELTS Preparation course. I really enjoy working together with my students and helping them achieve their goals.
I have a technical and business background so can teach not only general English but also technical and business English.
I have a very open approach to teaching so we will have a fun class with plenty of variety and conversation. I understand the difficulties of learning a new language and living in a country where you cannot understand the language around you as I have lived on 4 continents.Minhas aulas e estilo de ensino
I have an open approach to teaching English. Together we can set goals based on your needs and adapt the style of teaching to suit you so you gain the most from your English lessons. I use a variety of materials to teach including video, audio, presentation, interactive quizzes and worksheets.
I specialise in vocabulary, listening and pronunciation skills to increase your overall fluency in English. I create a relaxed and free environment where you can learn at a suitable pace in order to achieve your English goals as I identify areas to improve with ongoing assessment.
I mainly teach adults to improve vocabulary, pronunciation and fluency for personal, business or exam preparation purposes.Meu material de ensino

The lessons are very well prepared. Every lesson has a topic with respect to the video/listening part. Debbie always points out couple of new vocabulary that is practiced during the lessons. I am never bored and always learn new things, not only from English.
