Über mich
italki-Lehrkraft seit 5. Feb 2014
I am a native British English speaker who loves traveling, finding out more about other cultures. I have traveled across many countries in Asia including China, Japan, Malaysia, Laos, Thailand, and Cambodia and spent four months in various parts of India. I am now retired from my professional career having spent 30 years working as an Occupational therapist in the NHS and Social Services, prior to 10 years working in the voluntary sector.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I undertook a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) qualification in 2010 and have been teaching online via Italki when my travels have permitted. As I am based in the UK the time differences and my availability tend to favour students who are based across Europe- so the majority of my students are from Spain, France, Italy and Russia. I am however always really pleased to be able to speak to students from other countries especially Latin America, and China so if you can't find a mutually convenient time please get in touch as I can often juggle my schedule.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I have found that most of my students appreciate the opportunity for meaningful conversation and have enjoyed many discussions with students across the world who want to develop their confidence in language skills. I use news articles, videos, and pictures to stimulate discussion as well as spontaneous conversation and hone these to your specific interests. I have helped a significant number of students improve IELTS speaking grades through the practice of exam topics and increasing awareness of the techniques required. I have an informal style, although can offer structured sessions if this works best for you. I use Cambridge English materials when required.
Another wonderful lesson! We talked about carnival and other subjects that came up during the conversation. I learned a lot of new vocabulary, as always.
