À propos de moi
Professeur italki depuis le 4 Feb 2021
45-year-old British-English native speaker with 11 years' experience teaching English. I have a CELTA, and a BA/MA in English Literature (University of Durham). I did various office jobs, mostly in the finance sector, and then went to Germany and taught English there for 10 years; I moved to Italy in October 2019 and have since then been teaching adults General & Business English.
I enjoy reading (novels, poetry, philosophy, history) and watching films and long-form television shows.
Moi en tant que professeur
I like to adapt my teaching style to the student. However, in general I prefer to maximise the student talking time, and to focus on fluency and relevant vocabulary. I encourage the student to develop their confidence and real-life exposure to the language, so they begin to think in English, and can finally express complex ideas in English without translating from their native language. While I am happy to explain grammar, I see grammar as merely one tool; provided the student has an A2 or higher grammatical level, fluency is arguably more important.
Mes leçons et ma méthode d'enseignement
In the first class, I perform a needs analysis to learn the student's requirements and capabilities. I encourage the students to be pro-active, to suggest topics, to bring materials from work, since the lesson should be tailored for their personal needs. Online, I only teach one-on-one. I am happy to go through business presentations where necessary.

As always, it was a great pleasure practicing conversation with Mathew. Every week he makes the effort to send me individual homework. Thanks you a lot!
