About Me
italki teacher since Feb 10, 2015Me as a Teacher
Reaching the highest level of competency in language usage is a very different challenge to your first steps, which is why I specialise in advanced English. I have a degree from the University of Cambridge in English, as well as a CELTA certificate and master's degree in English literature.
I have been teaching high-level English skills online for several years and have the experience, knowledge and empathy necessary to make sure you reach your goals the way you want to. I believe that the hardest step to take as a language learner is to see yourself on a level playing field as native speakers, which is why my lessons focus on the types of materials educated native speakers enjoy. My lessons & teaching style
My sessions are always 100% adapted to your needs. No matter what your goal is or how difficult it might be to reach, I can work with you every step of the way until you pass your exam, speak like a native, understand the book, have the best possible application or anything else.
I find that language learning is too often separated from engagement in genuinely interesting topics. In my lessons, we can use relevant materials to discuss culture, philosophy, politics, science and much more to make sure you look forward to the next stimulating conversation instead of dreading the next grammar critique! That way, improving your grammar and everything else in your expression will come naturally.My teaching material

Kevin is a teacher who always brings out the best. He has a wealth of knowledge and a talent for words. Literature is like an adventure, in that it starts with the unexpected and turns out to be fascinating. Going on this journey with him is a wonderful experience.

I greatly appreciate his support! Reading novels in English is still tough for me because I often misunderstand, but his explanations are always clear:D

It was an eye-opener lesson about literature! I have fully realised that I misread what the author wanted to express through characters, but I really enjoyed finding unexpected hidden meanings of the story.
To be honest, I'm not so keen on fictional stories, but now I'm getting interested in them and want to take this opportunity to read more English novels.
