16 Feb 2022 tarihinden bu yana italki öğretmeniİlgi çeken konuYemekSağlıkSeyahat
I am an easygoing person with a positive mental attitude. I love spending time with adults & children, assiting them in whatever way I can. I geniunely believe there is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving. I enjoy travelling and meeting new people. I love learning new things, so I am an avid reader. I get alot of pleasure out of gardening and sewing. I have a real joy of life and try to make my time count by keeping busy and getting the most out of life. I do not believe that you should allow anyone to hold your key to happiness, you have it in the power of your own hands. But you can certainly contribute to the happiness of others and make a difference to them.Öğretmen Olarak Ben
I am a friendly approachable teacher, with volunteer teaching experience of both adults and children. I am a very patient teacher who allows students time to arrive at the correct conclusion. I havea natural conversational manner that shows a sincere interest in students and in the subject that I am teaching.
I prepare well for each lesson as this ensures my lessons are not only accurately lead but also engaging. I enhance my teaching through simple illustrations that will appeal to my students. I try to use easy things to explain difficult things.
I teach with enthusiam, warmth and empathy and have always tried to reach the heart of my students as I feel this motivates them to learn.Derslerim ve öğretme tarzım
I ensure my lessons are tailor made to my students through a thorough needs analysis. Then I make sure my aims and objectives of the lessons are met. I teach through a good use of questions to emphasize the main point. This helps my students follow the direction of the lesson and helps them to reach the correct conclusion. I also use review questions and recycling to help the students remember.
I use visual aids like, pictures, diagrams, maps and videos to highlight points. This helps the students to remember not just the visual aid but the point of the instruction. I also use role play and quizzes, this engages the student and makes learning stimulating. Providing homework is key.Öğretim materyallerim

Level 5 TEFL - The TEFL Academy - 2021I was taught how to create lessons using teaching materials for a range of levels from elementary to advanced. I learnt how to teach speaking, listening, reading and writing skills. The course also included language analysis - vocabulary grammer and pronounciation. Teaching in different situations and needs analysis was also taught. Material and resource creation was a very useful tool taught along with ultilising the internet. I feel I am fully equipped to teach various lessons with Italki.

2009 - 2022
Administrator/Stop Smoking PractitionerAs a Stop Smoking Practitioner, I assist patients by teaching them the health, social and financial benefits for stopping smokeing. This involves giving commendation and continued support throughout the duration of the 4-week clinic. This is a one-to-one clinic so I am very familiar with teaching on a personal level.
I also supervise reception so, I ensure both staff and patients are giving and gaining the best service from the surgery. I am constantly interacting with people supporting them.
2004 - 2008
Volunteer teacherI spent 4 years living in Zimbabwe volunteering in the community, teaching people life skills. This included helping people learn to read. While engaging in this work both in England and abroad I have helped foreign language individuals with college assignments when they struggled with English comprehension. During my voluntary work in England, I worked at the British Museum as a tour guide. This involved teaching and interaction with a large number of individuals of different ages.
2000 - 2004
Call Centre/Customer Services OfficerHandling customer complaints helped me to defuse difficult situations and remain calm. I also became very familiar with travel destinations which may be useful for teaching English for a specific purpose if my student was interested in working for an airline company.

I had lessons with Karen to prepare for my job interview. She always tailored our lessons, asking about possible questions I might be asked. The role plays not only eased interview nervousness but also improved my language skills in a professional context, boosting my confidence to respond to the interview questions. Her constructive feedback after each session was invaluable. Karen's calm, friendly, and caring demeanor is exactly what I was looking for in my teacher! Without her help, I could not have secured my dream job. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to get their ideal job. Thanks, Karen!

I am very thankful to Karen for the achieved result. I had a decent level of English, but for a long period of time I had not used it. So, I needed to prepare for job interviews in English, as for small talk and speaking on general topics.
Karen helped me to get the results within the period of time I was aiming for. I'm also grateful to her for her patience and support. She is absolutely a people-person, which makes communication with her always easy, comfortable and effective. Karen, thank you very much!
