About Me
italki teacher since Jan 14, 2020Me as a Teacher
I teach fulltime on ITALKI as a specialised, 1-1 English language instructor – this is my career.
As a language coach first and teacher second, I am here to support and guide your learning – this means I am focused on helping you maintain direction and motivation to optimise your learning.
My style is professional but fun - I like to laugh and enjoy the classes! I am patient and understanding, highly knowledgeable, and clear. You will also find that I am a responsive teacher; open to feedback and flexible in meeting your needs.
With more than ten years professional, international teaching experience, I am organised, creative, modern, and really passionate about what I do. My lessons & teaching style
My classes are communication based – you will be speaking, speaking, speaking.
The personalised approach:
We start by discussing and assessing your learning needs, and then design a custom program that works for you.
Topic based learning:
You learn best when talking about subjects that are real and relevant. We could be discussing photography, travel or finance, anything you like, and I will combine that with grammar or skill development. This makes my classes unique, engaging, and highly rewarding.
Error correction:
This is so important that I developed special techniques for correcting errors, so you can be sure that you will really be improving your English with my classes.My teaching material

I'm really grateful for the support and suggestions that he gave me. I was preparing for the FCE exam and the teacher was always very professional. He understood my concerns and helped me to gain confidence and improve my writing and speaking skills. His knowledge of English is very extensive, so the feedback of each writing was extremely helpful. Thank you so much teacher.
