13 Oct 2015 tarihinden bu yana italki öğretmeniİlgi çeken konuSporYazmaSeyahat
Hi, my name’s Simon! I am British and I like travelling! I have been to around 40 countries and I lived in Japan for 20 years. Now I live in France so I can understand what people learning a language are going through as I learned Japanese and I am currently studying French and Spanish.
I like hiking, camping and bushcraft. When I was younger I spent two years backpacking in Asia so I have tramped the Annapurna Circuit twice and climbed Mount Kinabalu twice! During that journey, I came across scuba diving and yoga, two pursuits I continue to this day. I have been a scuba diving instructor since 2002.
Also, I dabble with writing, meditation, poetry, chess and other things besides.Öğretmen Olarak Ben
I have been teaching English for 30 years and I have a Certificate in TEFLA (CELTA), an Advanced Certificate in TESOL and an MA in Applied Linguistics and TESOL. I was the editor of a Teacher Education journal in Japan for eight years and I taught at universities there for 15 years.
I taught pre-sessional courses at the University of Glasgow from 2015 to 2020, completing 13 in all, so I have a lot of experience in preparing students for the cultural and academic expectations in an English-speaking university setting. The goal of the pre-sessional courses was for the students to attain an IELTS-equivalent score of 6.5 or 7.
Also, I have been teaching scuba diving and first aid since 2002.Derslerim ve öğretme tarzım
It is difficult to describe a specific style as each student is different and one of the greatest strengths of the Italki platform is the one-to-one nature of the classes. Consequently, I adapt my style to suit the situation and the student, and I like to use humour and fun when at all possible.Öğretim materyallerim

In our lessons, we have combined both interview preparation and general conversations.
Simon is an excellent teacher and an amazing person. He is confident, intelligent, knowledgeable and capable to listen to me as a student. He has reacted to my needs, be they help, guidance or further explanation, adopting a supportive and an encouraging approach. He always gives honest feedback and challenges with (unexpected) questions that make me think. Being a linguist, he understands what intercultural communication is. Last but not least, he has a good sense of humor, which adds to the whole experience. Although I still can't articulate my thoughts in English as fluently as I would like to, I feel I've been making some progress. Thank you for that, Simon! And let me highly recommend you!

For an immigration purpose, I had to get IELTS 7.0 (each band), and looked for the qualified English teacher who has many years of experience in teaching. Now that I got my desired scores (actually higher than that - L 9, R 8.5 S&W 7), I feel so grateful that I met Simon!
He helped me a lot during my IELTS journey especially for my writing score to increase from 6.5 to 7. For the last three months, he motivated me to write more essays and gave me excellent feedbacks and estimated my possible score for every writing piece that I produced. The classes always went smooth, in an interactive and fun way, so I never got bored. I really admired his long teaching experience and ability to attend in details!
Apart from that, he has collected very useful and hands-on information about IELTS and how the scoring system work, and he never minded sharing this valuable information with me.
If you need IELTS score and find a qualified teacher, I do recommend Simon as your English teacher!!!
