About Me
italki teacher since Apr 5, 2021
I have a background of 6 years in education in a Chinese and now Swiss setting. I’ve a proven record in delivering engaging learning experiences for children and adults alike, designed curriculum aligned with official standards and led teams effectively across different settings. I’m educated to Masters level with additional iPGCE and CELTA qualifications.
Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I have experience designing bespoke one-to-one classes. I adapt the course to the individuals, and create original and engaging curriculum. I've built strong supportive relationships with my students
I have worked with a range of students from ages 13-18, and covered a wide range of subjects and ability of learners from IAL English Language, IELTS to beginner.
I am professional, reliable and punctual throughout my time teaching. I endeavour to have a clear communication with students and always willing to provide ready feedback.
My lessons & teaching style
In education, I think it is important to assess the knowledge of the group or individual you're teaching and adopt new ideas based on the needs and culture of the group/individual. Since my CELTA, I have always been wary of my teaching talking time and am conscious to use practical and participatory methods in which members of the class can participate in-group discussions. I encourage and value different views in a classroom and open the classroom up so that information can flow in many different directions rather than directly from a teacher. I aim to develop relationships with the students built on honesty, trust and respect.
