Über mich
italki-Lehrkraft seit 21. Jan 2019
I am a 34 year old Australian born native speaker of English that has lived in Japan and is currently living in Malaysia. I am TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) and IELTS certified.
My hobbies include travelling, hiking, music, reading, outdoor activities, basketball and food. I enjoy spending time with my friends and doing hobby activities together.
Ich als Lehrkraft
As a learner of a language and as a teacher of English, I understand some of the struggles and successes of learning a new language. I think speaking is an important part of learning a new language so I’m excited to speak with you! Seeing my students improve and be able to communicate in a new language is exciting for me and for them. Sharing language knowledge and seeing a student progress forward is one of my main motivations as a teacher.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
In our first lesson I like to introduce myself and check your English level. I like to hear what your goals for learning English are and what you want to learn from me. I like to keep my lessons casual and fun.
For IELTS lessons I will use current materials that are used in the actual exams.
Conversation lessons will be speaking and listening based. I will help you with sentences and vocabulary. Sometimes we will discuss articles and news, depending on your interests and goals. I like to use the chat to type out important words and sentences so that you can remember.
***I don't teach children on italki
I have been taking classes with Craig for such a long time. Sometimes even every day to improve my overall English particularly speaking and listening. Finding a good teacher on Italkie would take some time but is the best way to get helped by a professional teacher in terms of learning a foreign language. Personally I like the way he teaches because he always makes me comfortable and confident while speaking. At first, I used to feel frustrated every time when I had difficulty in finding proper expressions in English. However, after doing classes with Craig, I have become more confident and more capable of speaking English fluently. He gives me feedback during classes and it is greatly helpful to find my typical mistakes. In addition, he is patient, friendly, supportive, and punctual.
Thank you so much, Craig!
