À propos de moi
Professeur italki depuis le 13 May 2020
Hello! I'm Brighde and I am an English teacher born in the UK. I have lived in many different countries all over the world including Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, France, Morroco and Australia. For the past 10 years, I have taught EAL (English as an Additional Language) at elite international schools. I've taught mainly elementary students from complete beginners to students who just need slightly higher English proficiency to be able to access the curriculum independently.
My students have been from Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Thailand, Israel and many others.
When I am not teaching, I am learning languages, exploring my surroundings. I am really interested in social justice issues too.
Moi en tant que professeur
I truly believe that in order to learn the student must be in a safe and stimulating environment. It should be a place that is full of rich language and discussion where the student can take risks and have fun. I also believe learning language is not linear. That we need to constantly focus on all the skills and that build on each other over time.
I would like to add that while I enjoy being a community teacher very much, I am actually a highly qualified professional teacher. At the time of writing, Italki is not accepting any more professional teachers of English. It's for this reason that my rates are perhaps higher than other community teachers. :-)
Mes leçons et ma méthode d'enseignement
My teaching approach is not one of rote learning and grammar exercises. Instead, my students learn English naturally through our discussions about the books we read together and the conversations we have. We also play games together and have discussions about current affairs, culture, philosophy, and social justice issues. I chose resources that are 'just right' for the student so they can have fun while learning.
To do this:
We read books together.
We play games.
We read texts and watch videos connected with the students' curriculum.
We work on improving many other skills like literacy, mathematical, social, thinking skills while we learn English.
We set goals for language learning.

My kids were not that good readers before taking classes with Brighde. It was really difficult for me to choose right books to match their reading level and their interests. See them completing a book to the last page was very rare events. But now, thanks to the teacher, they nomally read at least two books per week by themselves!

It was the most exciting class I have ever had in italki, because I found the way what is suitable for my language improvement. She corrected my word, my grammar and gave the suggestions on how to express myself. Thanks you Brighde!

Another great session with Brighde! Brighde is a very enthusiastic and patient teacher. What I like the most of Brighde's teaching is that she can promptly point out mistakes I've made and give corrections on the spot, so that I can quickly learn from my mistakes. And also, the material she would give before the class is very interesting and informative. It is always a good practice to have some reading before we have a discussion around a topic. I am really looking forward to the next session!

It was indeed a good conversation. I didn't expect that I could share my life story in English without any hesitation. At the same time, Brighde kept giving words and expression recommendations. It is a great way to learn new terms. Thank you for your time and for listening to my story enthusiastically. See you next time : )

Today we discussed rewilding. Brighde recommended me new vocabulary and websites to find interesting information about animals. Thank you for your precious time, and I look forward to seeing you again. See you : )
