About Me
italki teacher since Jun 11, 2018
Hi, ny name is Sandra and I am from Scotland, UK so I am a native ENGLISH speaker.
I currently live in Turkey, I have been here for 4 years and I teach English at a private nursery.
I have explored Europe and lots of areas in Turkey but there is so much still to see and I have a wish list to visit more coutries further afield.
My main hobby is crafting, pebble art is my personal favourite but I also thoroughly enjoy reading, swimming and socialising.
Living beside the sea lets me enjoy the outdoor lifestyle and I love spending time at the beaches in the area.
Me as a Teacher
I studied Teaching English as a Foreign Language when I moved to Turkey and started teaching 3 years ago to 3 to 6 year olds at a private nursery.
I also teach private lessons to more advanced students to improve their grammar and conversational skills but I have always enjoyed the beginners more and love watching a student gain satisfaction from learning a new language.
My lessons & teaching style
I believe that using general words, phrases and things you see or use on a daily basis is a great way to start for eg, parts of the body, animals, actions etc. Depending on the level of each student then a lesson plan will be created to suit their needs and requirements. I will expect homework and practice sheets to be completed and feedback will be given at the end of each lesson. I will use flashcards, props, books, songs and activity sheets and most importantly I will try and make each class fun, enjoyable and a relaxed lesson.
For the more advanced students then I will discuss hobbies and subjects that put them at ease to hold a conversation and advance as they progress.

It was great! My children (11 years old) are happy and want to speak with Sandra more and more! They are not so confused anymore. Thank you very much, Sandra!
