關於我
於 2021年6月24日 成為 italki 教師趣味主題自然環境科技旅行科學
Hi. I’m Debbie from Liverpool in the UK — a native British English teacher with a clear, easy-to-understand accent. I’ve lived on four continents and currently live in Italy. My background is a little unusual: before teaching, I worked as a Research Chemist, then spent 16 years travelling the world as a sports instructor, teaching people of all nationalities.
When I returned to Europe, I earned my TEFL certificate and started teaching English full-time. I now help adults from all over the world speak English more naturally, confidently, and professionally.我的教學經歷
I have over 20 years of teaching experience and specialise in working with adult learners (B1–C2).
My key areas are:
Fluency development
Business English
Technical / scientific English
IELTS preparation
Improving pronunciation, accuracy, and real-life communication
My lessons are structured yet flexible, and I always adapt my teaching style to suit your learning preferences.
I teach adults only and focus on students from high B1 to C2.
Many of my students work in international companies, are preparing for job interviews, or need English for meetings, emails, and presentations. 我的課程內容與教學風格
My classes are very conversational because I believe the best way to improve is by using English actively. In every lesson you will:
Speak a lot
Learn vocabulary in meaningful contexts
Practise listening and pronunciation
Work with real-life materials (videos, audio, articles, presentations)
Get clear explanations and examples to help you remember the language
I create a relaxed, supportive atmosphere so you feel comfortable expressing yourself and taking risks in English.
If you want to improve your fluency, feel more confident in professional situations, or prepare for an exam like IELTS, I’m here to help.
I look forward to meeting you in class!我的教材
