About Me
italki teacher since Apr 20, 2020
Hey there! Thanks for clicking on my profile and coming to find out a little more about me.
My name is Liz and I am a native English speaker from Ireland, but I have lived abroad since 2013, and so my accent is very neutral. I have lived in England, The Netherlands, Japan and now Portugal. I enjoy traveling, because I love to experience cultures, meet people and learn languages.
I am an archaeologist and my two passions are history and languages. (Don't get me started on the history of languages!)
My hobbies include reading, drawing, amateur photography, bouldering, longboarding, running and international film.
Me as a Teacher
I am super enthusiastic, adaptive and creative as a teacher. I am also patient and understanding, particularly when it comes to the struggles of learning a second language. My experiences with language-learning give me a little insight into the challenges (but also rewards) you will meet in learning English.
As a native Irish person with a very neutral accent, I can help you to crack Irish English as a language, but also to understand Irish people and our culture. (We're a very confusing bunch!)
The most motivating thing for me as a teacher is the pleasure of helping someone to realise their potential and their own personal goals.
My lessons & teaching style
I like to create fun, interactive lessons that will engage everyone, no matter their age, and put a smile on their face. If I can make my students laugh it not only makes classes fun, it has also been proven to help people hold and recall new information. I prefer to teach English grammar and vocabulary through discussion of everyday topics and current events. This presents the best opportunity for students to increase their talking time and practice their English outside of class. Actively speaking the language is the best way for students to get comfortable, to improve vocabulary retention, and to measure progress. My teaching style is therefore fun, interactive, engaging and practical.
