About Me
italki teacher since Jan 16, 2018
Hi everyone, my name’s Tom. I’m a professional native speaker from Brighton in the south of England. I like history, reading, hiking and most of all travelling. I’ve been travelling around the world teaching English for the past four years and I can truly say I love my job. I love meeting people like yourself and learning about different cultures and ways of life. I consider myself extremely lucky to be a native speaker for the opportunities it gives me around the world, and I want to help you reach some of those opportunities for yourself. Learning English can be a ticket to achieving your goals whatever they may be, and I am here to help you on your way!
Me as a Teacher
Since I completed my CELTA in 2016, I have been teaching English across the world, in Asia, Europe, Australia and South America. I’ve taught both in the classroom and in private lessons, including nearly 2000 hours online. Teaching online requires a different set of skills as a teacher, and I believe over the past 2 years I have mastered these skills to provide a balance between learning grammar and vocabulary and spending as much time speaking and communicating as possible. My students all have different preferences and styles when it comes to learning English, so however you like to learn - I am the teacher for you!
My lessons & teaching style
PLEASE NOTE - my 1 hour lessons are 55 minutes long to give me a short break between lessons.
In my GE, WS, AF and EwH lessons, while we work through the lesson, we are always talking. I never ask you to write boring grammar exercises, so you are always practicing your speaking and listening skills. My aim in these lessons is to help you improve your English in a structured and well-planned but also natural, fun and engaging way.
In Conversation lessons we focus on speaking. During the lesson I will help you with pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary - but we tackle these as we find them through regular correction and explanation.
