About Me
italki teacher since Mar 11, 2021Me as a Teacher
I have a wide range of teaching experience, and I enjoy teaching any level, from beginner to proficiency. I particularly enjoy explaining difficult grammar and pronunciation problems, and I love to be challenged in this area. I can help you with functional language and conversational fluency. I can also help you with the difference between different dialects and accents, and I can explain to you just why it is sometimes just so DIFFICULT to understand what native speakers are saying. I have over 10 years' experience in planning and delivering IELTS and Cambridge exam classes. I have worked for prestigious universities in both the UK and overseas. I can give you the confidence you need! My lessons & teaching style
I have a real passion for this job - one of the reasons I have been doing it for over ten years. I believe my teaching style relies on giving the student the confidence to realise they can open the doors themselves. I strongly believe that the key to helping students is to give them the confidence, rather than just explaining how things work. I believe a strong personality and a good sense of humour is key to any lesson, and I love to have a good rapport with all my students. I love being challenged with difficult questions, and I believe that a teacher should be approachable and flexible, and willing to go the extra mile to satisfy any question asked.My teaching material
