About Me

italki teacher since Nov 5, 2013

Hi! I have just returned to teaching on Italki. I am a professional English Teacher and I am qualified with the CELTA certificate. I have three wonderful daughters! I have a lovely dog called 'Timmy', who I love to take walks in the countryside. I have many hobbies. First of all, I count teaching English as a hobby because I love to do it. I also like learning about different languages. I have tried to learn Russian and Italian in the past. I also enjoy keeping fit. I do weight-training and I occasionally go jogging when it is not raining.

Me as a Teacher

I have been teaching English on-line for approximately seven years. I love teaching English on Skype because I love the English language, I love teaching and I get to meet so many different interesting people from all over the world. As well as teaching on-line, I have also taught at students' homes and companies in the UK and in Moscow, Russia.

My lessons & teaching style

My lessons teach people to speak English correctly and confidently. I use a modern, communicative and direct method of teaching in which the student will do lots of speaking! I teach general English at all levels - from beginners to advanced speakers. I teach both children and adults. I use a range of language books published by DK, which are excellent for testing speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. There are many exercises to ensure that under learn the vocabulary and understand the required grammar. These courses are enjoyable and lots of fun! I also teach business English and legal English to intermediate, upper-intermediate and advanced speakers, as well as IELTS.
