About Me
italki teacher since Feb 19, 2020Interest topicArtTravelLegal Services
I was born and grew up near to Cambridge, England. I have a Bachelors and Masters degree from the University of Cambridge and a Juris Doctor from Cardozo Law School in New York.
I have 5 years of business and legal experience in a number of difference capacities. I have now been teaching English using this experience for 5 years.
I love traveling, and meeting new people. This is something I love about teaching English. My interests also include photography, drawing, painting, singing and traveling.Me as a Teacher
I will design a course specifically for you. I can put together a grammar course, a general language course, a conversation based course, a legal English course or a Business English course.
I have a lot of experience teaching business and legal English. We can cover many topics, including advertising, interviewing, small talk, legal conventions business writing and business grammar.
I am fully TEFL certified, including advanced units in teaching online / telephone and business English. I have taught English for 5 years, to classes, one-on-one in person, and online. I have taught all levels, and from the age of 3 to 70.My lessons & teaching style
I provide a fun, easy to understand learning style, in a positive, encouraging atmosphere.
I have been learning Portuguese for 3 years and I know the difficulties in learning a new language. Building confidence is extremely important. I create a comfortable atmosphere to make mistakes and like to have fun and enjoyable lessons.
Every student has different needs, learning styles, goals and time constraints. As such, I believe it is essential to be flexible and cater to the individual needs of each student, and design a lesson structure and lesson plans as such.My teaching material
