About Me
italki teacher since Jan 30, 2018Me as a Teacher
During my first three years in China I taught at an International school in the south of China, and then at a training school, High school and IELTS training center in the north of China. Since 2014 I have been teaching English at a University, where I primarily teach English majors. Whilst being experienced at teaching at all levels. I have a preference for teaching older students and adults. I have a passion for ensuring the correct use of vocabulary and pronunciation to ensure a greater sense of accuracy and fluency when communicating in English. My lessons & teaching style
Students have told me, my lessons are humorous, relaxed and informative, and effective in improving their English learning and communicating skills. Many students say their spoken English is poor because they don't have a chance to practice their spoken English with a native English speaker, so If you are wanting to improve your English through conversational practice , including successful preparation and passing of the IELTS speaking test, practice with me! In our first lesson, I can quickly access your abilities and needs, and advise what action to take in future lessons. We can use Skype, Wechat ( Weixin ) Zoom or the italki platform to communicate. I look forward to meeting you.My teaching material
