關於我
於 2015年9月25日 成為 italki 教師趣味主題科學飲食歷史遊戲自然環境
I am a professional language teacher with over 34 years of experience. I’m from England, but I have spent many years working as an English teacher in East Asia.
I have a BA (Hons) in Drama with Creative Writing and worked in professional theatre, including The National Theatre of Great Britain.
My hobbies are varied and I like learning new things. Right now, I’m into Thai cooking, AI technology, and ancient Egypt. I love to explore new countries, cultures, and wild places.
I started teaching in Hong Kong in 1990 and discovered that my drama skills helped create a fun and productive environment for learning English. Whether in a corporate training program or a summer camp, English is fun我的教學經歷
I am passionate about my career as an English teacher and enjoy nothing more than seeing my students improve their ability in English and build their confidence. I have 100% success in all exams and courses I have taught. I never let a student fail.
I take great pride in my lessons and always seek ways to develop my skills and abilities as a teacher. I am Cambridge CELTA qualified and have led teacher training courses.
Teaching drama and producing theatre with Business English majors at a university in Thailand was the most rewarding period of my career. My experience and skills are wide-ranging, just take a look at my resume.我的課程內容與教學風格
Every lesson is different but the goal is always to encourage students to be productive. The time you spend with me should be used effectively. A calm and patient approach allows the student to gain confidence and improve communicative fluency.
Outside of the lesson, I will give you the tools and advice you need to study and learn efficiently. I can read written assignments in my own time and give advice at any time.
I aim to make my lessons interesting, fun, and an enjoyable social occasion. I have all the materials, activities, and tricks you could imagine.
