Thema von InteresseReisenGeschichteEssen
I'm a native English speaker from Ireland🇮🇪 but have lived abroad since 2013 (my accent is very neutral). I have lived in England🇬🇧, The Netherlands🇳🇱, Japan🇯🇵, Portugal🇵🇹 and Colombia🇨🇴. I enjoy traveling, and love to experience cultures, meet people and learn languages.
I am a Dr of archaeology, and my 2 passions are history and languages. (Don't get me started on the history of languages! 😁)
I love adventure and am curious about the world, nature, ancient civilisations and people. Including you! So drop me a message today and tell me why you want to learn or improve your English 😊
ATTENTION: I operate a 24-hour policy on cancellations/rescheduling, as per italki rules
Ich als Lehrkraft
👩🏼🏫 I am a highly qualified, experienced, enthusiastic, adaptive and creative teacher. I am also patient and understanding, particularly when it comes to the struggles of learning a second language. My experiences with language learning give me insight into the challenges (but also rewards) you will meet in learning English.
Whether you want to prepare for the IELTS, speak more with classmates or neighbours, understand the Irish accent, or improve your academic English, I can help. The most motivating thing for me as a teacher is the pleasure of helping someone realise their potential and their own personal goal. Share your goals with me and let's see how we can get you there! 😊
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I have several specialities: IELTS preparation, Academic English and writing, Irish English, British English, Business English, English for speakers of Dutch, Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish and French.
I create fun, interactive lessons that will engage everyone, no matter your age, and put a smile on your face. If I can make you laugh it not only makes classes fun, it has also been proven to help you hold and recall new information. In my classes, the goal is for you to speak confidently. Actively speaking the language is the best way for you to get comfortable, improve vocabulary retention, and measure progress. My teaching style is therefore fun, interactive, engaging and practical.

After one year of weekly lessons with Liz our youngster made big progress and learned a lot. From ‘hello my name is’ to real conversations in English. The materials used fitted the age group very well. But most importantly, it was always fun (we heard a lot of laughter coming from upstairs during the lessons)! Fun is the best way to learn. Thanks for everything Liz! If in doubt we highly recommend your child taking lessons with Liz
