About Me

italki teacher since Apr 15, 2019

Hi. My name is Greg. I’m a native English speaker from Australia. I have several passions. These are different languages and cultures, and literature. To formalise these passions I have gained university qualifications in teaching English to speakers of other languages, and a PhD in literature. I am also learning Hindi which I began on italki. I’m currently in India studying Hindi and learning about Indian cultures. More recently I have begun to learn German here on italki too.

Me as a Teacher

As a language student myself I know how difficult and even scary it can be to begin learning a new language. That is why I like my classes to be relaxed and fun. In my experience as a teacher I have taught English language face-to-face to adults from many different countries. At the university level I have taught arts, humanities, communications academic writing, and literature.

My lessons & teaching style

I can help you improve your English conversation. We will focus on a topic of interest to you, and I will help you with pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar and more. If you want valuable feedback to help you improve your college or university essays I can provide that too. We can do this slowly over Skype, or if you send me your essay I will analyse it and make valuable comments offline within 2 days.( If your essay is more than 2000 words please message me so that I can arrange my schedule accordingly.) *PLEASE NOTE: Due to other commitments, I have had to reduce my availability for the near future.*
