Преподает на italki с 25 Jan 2019 г.Интересующая темаЖивотныеЗдоровьеПутешествия
Hello! (",) My name is Nick and a big welcome to my Italki teaching profile, I'm glad you are here. I am a British Citizen living in South Africa and I have been teaching English for 7 years. About me; I enjoy hiking in nature, reading, doing meditation and yoga and meeting interesting people from around the world.
Please note: I have many private students, if my Italki calendar is marked 'Not Available' then that is a private lesson.Показать перевод
Я как преподаватель
I may not be your usual online English teacher. Most of my English students are Uni students, young professionals studying for IELTS, businessman and even non-native English teachers. The reason for this is that I enjoy having in-depth conversations and I feel I can only really do this with adults. I love teaching IELTS students I am very easy going, relaxed, patient and flexible. I think the thing that most defines me as an English teacher is that I really enjoy connecting with my students. I have several students who I have been teaching for many months, sometimes even years. I have built up some beautiful relationships with my most loyal students and I would consider them my friends :)Мои уроки и стиль преподавания
I have a few different lesson options.
I have a lesson that focuses only on conversation practice and I have an entirely different lesson for kids and children that focuses on listening, speaking, reading and writing.
I have a course that prepares IELTS students for their writing and speaking tests.
I also provide business lessons that help people with upcoming job interviews or presentations and I am a whiz at proofreading English writing.
My teaching style is easy going but I do like to test my students every few lessons, especially in terms of their vocabulary.Мой учебный материал

Опыт работы

Language InstructorAs an English teacher at this school I taught ages from 5 - 60 years old. I created interesting and fun lessons, helped organise English camps and workshops, reviewed and marked assignments and essays, provided critical feedback to keen learners, achieved discipline through a variety of positive-reinforcement methods and much more. This experience solidified my ability to lead a group of people towards a future learning goal.
2017 - 2017
Language InstructorUpon arrival in Cape Town I worked in TEFL education. My work involved teaching classes of up to 15 students; preparation of teaching materials, effective presentation of principles, efficient communication with all students, marking of assignments, strategizing with other teachers and managerial staff, attending weekly brainstorming meetings and so on. I also assisted with the outdoor activities program.
2019 - 2020
Online English TeacherI have been offering online classes for the past year and a half to students from all over the world. My focus is largely on conversation-based learning, vocabulary and sentence structure. I love teaching on Italki and will be doing so for many years.
2012 - 2012
Psychology TutorAs Tutor I facilitated weekly tutorials on course content, discussed academic assignments, received, marked and provided feedback on tasks, recorded attendance, liaised with other members of academic staff, promoted student well-being and a healthy academic environment and ensured follow-up on unsatisfactory progress. This was a highly rewarding position which I enjoyed very much.

I communicated the importance of pronunciation in speech and punctuation, grammar and style in writing. I marked and provided critical feedback on written assignments. This was a highly fruitful and stimulating experience.
2015 - 2015
Language instructorAt Avalon I taught only children ranging from 6 - 16 years old. A focus was placed on ensuring lessons were fun, engaging and interactive with the smaller children. The older children were taught mainly TOEIC and this was very rewarding. Responsibilities included teaching, marking assignments, verbal assessments, providing pronunciation feedback and more.

For people who are wondering whether if you are going to book Nick’s lesson:
Nick is an outstanding English teacher. He is patient, kind, understandable and thoughtful. He understands that as a non-native speaker, it's not easy for us to speak out loud. You can always trust Nick's ability to help you to improve and gain confidence in the meantime. Despite the truth that, sometimes, practicing English is miserable, you can have so much fun in each lesson.

We've been having classes since July. I've found Nick a very reliable teacher who pays attention to your pronunciation and with whom you can improve this skill :). I decided on Native Speaking Training: Improve your fluency fast! which was an excellent choice. What I like is the logical structure of the class and the range of activities Nick chooses to keep me talking :D.We've covered so far topics such us friendship, self-development, career, money, RSA, sports. Being open to my ideas Nick left me the opportunity to decide on issues we will be discussing which I find really motivating. I've found Nick a professional and sometimes an exigent tutor and equally a carrying and supportive person.What's more, Nick can prepare you for IELTS,TOEFL tests if you consider taking one of these.
All in all, if you're looking for both fun and positive environment and the professional training, the chat with Nick is a good choice:).
