Über mich
italki-Lehrkraft seit 29. Jan 2020
My name is Joel, I am 37 years old and come from London in the UK. I currently live in Germany with my 3 year old daughter work as a freelance English teacher. My background is actually working in health and social care - I was a social worker for a local authority in London before moving to Germany where I developed an interest in language learning and teaching through my own experience of learning German.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I always try to teach in the same way that I would like to be taught myself - by someone with a good understanding of the language that they are teaching, a sense of humor, a bit of patience and the ability to respond to students individual goals and needs.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
