About Me

italki teacher since Apr 29, 2020

My name is Ian and I'm from Northampton in the UK. I have been a teacher for the past 10 years and my teaching career has taken me all over the world. I have taught in England, South Korea, Hungary and China but I am currently living and working in the beautiful city of Tbilisi in Georgia. My passions include travelling, hiking and wine! I am always happy to discuss any of these things :)

Me as a Teacher

I am a fully qualified English teacher with 10 years of experience teaching students from all over the world and of all different levels. I started teaching in 2010, earning my CELTA qualification in 2012 and starting my DELTA in 2017. I specialise in teaching higher level students and exam preparation for IELTS and TOEFL. However, throughout my career I have taught everyone from beginner to advanced and from students to CEO's and I can plan lessons for students of any level.

My lessons & teaching style

I try to make my lessons as interactive as possible with a focus on speaking. Every student is different and I like to work with you to create lessons that are useful, interesting and engaging for you. All of my classes are tailored to suit your needs and I use a range of tools in my lessons including PowerPoint presentations, TED talk videos, youtube videos and coursebooks. I teach lessons via Skype or Zoom and always try to give my students lots of homework and feedback.

Ian is a very good teacher, who is always well prepared and manages to challenge and motivate you through a variety of exercises. Learning English with him is really fun!

I had an extremely helpful session on writing essays for ielts. He gave me very good instructions on developing a sound structure rather than memorising some templates, which made the whole process a lot more comprehensive.
