Sono un insegnante di inglese, con una laurea in educazione, un post-laurea certificato in materia di istruzione e un certificato di TEFL. Ho piu di 12 anni di esperienza nell' insegnamento. Ho insegnato a studenti di tutte le età e abilità, da ogni parte del mondo. Ho una grande passione per lavorare con gli studenti che si stanno preparando per l'esame IELTS. My lessons & teaching style
I teach via Skype and the lesson pace is determined by the abilities of each student. I teach linguistics (grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation) as well as the four main language skills (reading, writing, speaking and listening). During a student's first lesson, we discuss a learning plan and language goals. We then work towards these goals progressively in each lesson.
Insegno via Skype e il ritmo delle lezioni è determinato dalle capacità di ogni studente. Insegno linguistica (grammatica, vocabolario e pronuncia) cosi come le quattro principali abilità linguistiche (leggere, scrivere, parlare e ascoltare).My teaching material
