About Me
italki teacher since Apr 22, 2019Me as a Teacher
I am a Trinity College qualified teacher with around ten years of experience working on many different educational projects. I've taught general English in language schools in Spain and the UK (as well as having worked online), and English through photography, multimedia and the creative arts in the UK and Malaysia. I've organised and delivered creative and language based workshops in important gallery spaces in London, as well as having volunteered to teach English and the arts to refugees and asylum seekers in the UK and Malaysia. I've also worked in London secondary schools, and run workshops in collaboration with youth groups and arts organisations. Its been very interesting! My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are conversation based and for higher level learners of English - from intermediate level and above. With as much natural and friendly speaking as possible, I focus on helping learners to expand their vocabulary, improve their pronunciation and listening skills, and generally become more confident speakers of English. I enjoy spending time planning interesting and inspiring classes based around a variety of planet-based topics, and always use real and relevant articles, videos, images and podcasts as a starting point. I am also happy to set you creative and motivating homework projects as well, that we can come back to and use in our next lesson.Certificates

To say that it was a great lesson is to say nothing. It was the first time I discussed agriculture with admiration! I can only imagine what will be when we discuss quantum mechanics problems, or any other highly specialized topics;)
