Über mich
italki-Lehrkraft seit 27. Apr 2020
I am an English native speaker who grew up in the majestic city of Portsmouth! As a young man I worked in my father's restaurant alongside my father where I learnt all of my interpersonal skills, looking back it was one of the happiest moments in my life. I studied Photography at the University of Portsmouth, I was extremely passionate about taking photographs and cinema too, now, I enjoy both subjects as a hobby. I have a son who was born in 2008 and in 2010 we moved to Spain, Barcelona where I studied my CELTA and started to teach. I moved to Sant Cugat del Vallès and I've been living here for 10 years now.
Ich als Lehrkraft
After receiving my CELTA Certificate 10 years ago I started teaching in an academy called Trinity Language Institute in Sant Cugat del Vallès. I was there teaching a range of levels for 2 years including in-company classes. After learning the ropes I decided to turn Self-Employed and fully dedicate my time to In-Company classes. I have also been examining Cambridge exams for 6 years.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I'm naturally interested in most people's lives and stories, so, dynamic, tailor-made, one to one classes are the perfect fit for my style. I use interesting materials like TED talks, National Geographic videos and BBC articles and news exerpts to help build vocabulary and grammar and I also give students a heavy load of exercises to help them in their time outside of the class. A motivating teacher is worth their weight in gold and I am certainly that!
