About Me
italki teacher since Mar 25, 2019
LESSONS VIA SKYPE ONLY
My favorite book - The Little Coffee Shop of Kabul by Deborah Rodriguez
My favorite movie - The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
I love making books of my travels - Australia, England, Israel, Tanzania, Zanzibar, Kenya and of the lives of orphaned elephants and their reintegration into a wild life in Kenya.
Kenya is my favorite travel destination, I love its beauty and diversity, wild life and donkeys on the roadside, so much so that I am now learning to speak Swahili on Italki :-)
Me as a Teacher
In the last 5 years I have worked in remote areas of Australia both as a Renal Dialysis Nurse and as an English Tutor. I hold a Diploma in TESOL and used my expertise to tutor mature aged aboriginal women, assisting them in their studies. These women may have 1or 2 tribal languages and English may be their 3rd or 4th language.
When home in Queensland, I host international students. My first student was a Chinese girl named Yoyo, undertaking her Masters, I assisted her with Conversational English, Australian idioms and slang. I have also hosted Punjabi and Indian students who are upgrading their nursing qualifications and assisted them with nursing terminology and conversational English.
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is one of listening to my students to understand where they need support, whether it’s for conversation at work, study or in social situations. I am patient and teach at a learning pace that each student will be comfortable with.
