About Me
italki teacher since May 24, 2013

Anything goes! Whatever your beliefs or ideas I make no judgments, and am willing to discuss. I am in fact a maths and computer nerd so technology and programming are common topics. I was travelling in China Dec-2018 and Jan-2019, so I cut back my hours. Now back in Australia after the northern winter, I will soon get back up to speed!
Me as a Teacher
Almost five years now, and perhaps 6000 hours of online teaching. I make liberal use of online materials, and I like englishclub.com, ABC Radio National, TED Wolfram Coursera EDX, and recently linguapress.com. My sessions are particularly free and subject to your wishes, needs and goals. I am equally happy to chit-chat, or address deep and troubling issues, to delve into science grammar technology. There is no set agenda, but I expect us to set up a basis for the coming sessions.
Intermediate to advanced students only please.
My lessons & teaching style
I study language too, so I am aware that adult language acquisition is nowhere near as rapid as that of children. In my lessons I am constantly typing to leave a record for both of us of what has been said, of corrections, of vocabulary idioms and expressions - I expect you to review the lesson dialogue, I always do.

Thank you for the lesson! Lao Gui wrote down most of the words he were speaking to me, which made the learning process easy. He also suggested different techniques to help me improve my speaking skills. I've learned a lot today.

It's been a quite relaxing yet fruitful session. Laogui is super easy to communicate with. He can always pick out something for you to learn while you are talking and he helps you correct your language problems. There's a lot for me to learn from him. Thank you.
