About Me

About Me
I was born in Toronto, Ontario, and my family roots are in Newfoundland & Labrador, a province on Canada’s east coast. After living in Toronto until the age of 7, my family returned to Newfoundland, where I grew up. Experiencing life in two distinct regions of Canada, each with its own dialects and cultural nuances, has given me a deep understanding of Canadian English and culture, which I bring into my teaching.
Interests
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my wife, making charcuterie, listening to music, watching TV shows, and savouring a good cup of coffee or craft beer. I’m also passionate about traveling and exploring history.Me as a Teacher

My Goal
My aim is to help you practice English as much as you need. I believe a great teacher listens carefully, so I’ll focus on understanding your strengths and areas for improvement. Unlike many native speakers who may overlook mistakes, I’ll gently correct errors to help you grow and refine your skills.
My Career
After completing my education, I worked in various roles in Canada, including construction, cleaning, and five years as a cook. In 2016, I began teaching English after getting married. With 8 years of experience on Italki, I’ve developed the skills to effectively support your English learning journey.My lessons & teaching style
I provide specialized lessons for the CELPIP™ English language test. As a certified IELTS™ coach, I’ll equip you with the strategies, practice, and insights needed to achieve your target score. Let’s work together to reach your goals!My teaching material

I highly recommend Shane as a CELPIP instructor. I have extensive experience with different teachers before the exam. I started my preparation a year ago, and my initial result wasn’t very high. Only Shane truly helped me improve it. Moreover, he gave me a lot of personalized advice based on my skills and abilities. I’m very grateful for the engaging lessons and the knowledge I gained!
