About Me
italki teacher since Dec 25, 2012Me as a Teacher
I love to meet students who wish to improve their English skills with me, and I hope that they are as enthusiastic as I am. Over the years, I have taught over 10,000 students a variety of English skills including business English, IELTS preparation, conversation, interview preparation, and proofreading / editing. I get genuine pleasure from hearing the English skills of my students improve. I have a lot of return students, some of whom have been studying with me since I started teaching in 2010 and so I am confident that my teaching style is universally appealing. I am patient, friendly, understanding, and most importantly... reliable! My lessons & teaching style
In our first lesson, I will check your level of English, discuss your learning requirements, and then organise a learning plan that is suited to your own schedule and budget. My lessons are relaxed and thoroughly enjoyable which keeps students coming back to me time after time. I like to use learning materials from my vast database of worksheets and books where I introduce additional exercises to develop your language skills. I will provide with all your learning materials before your lesson(s) and I can also give you homework (if you would like it). If you want to record your lesson on Skype then this is fine by me!My teaching material
