About Me

italki teacher since Mar 2, 2021

I am a linguist with experience of working in different countries both in business and academia. I’ve lived in the UK for over twenty-five years, first in London than Cambridge. Before that I lived in Italy, Taiwan, Switzerland and France. I love reading and writing, walking and listening. I listen to music, podcasts, novels, drama, and people, of course.

Me as a Teacher

I have worked as an Associate Lecturer at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge since July 2014. During this time, I have taught pre-sessional courses with groups of students from very different linguistic and cultural backgrounds, with varied targets and levels of knowledge of the language. I also teach General English, English culture and traditions, IELTS preparation. I am also involved in one-to-one tutoring aimed at improving essay writing. I work with both undergraduate and postgraduate students, supporting them in understanding what is required in academic English in general and in their own field of study in particular.

My lessons & teaching style

My lessons are aimed at reaching the goals set by the students in the learning styles that are most suited to them. I tend to use a combination of e-books, sound files and tasks prepared by me in advance. Each session is proactive, involving the student not only in basic learning tasks but also in the editing and perfecting of the work that they produce, for which I find teaching online particularly effective. As a teacher I am both strict and patient and always try to create a pleasant, fun and respectful environment.
