About Me
italki teacher since Oct 29, 2021Interest topicFilms & TV SeriesEnvironment & NatureTravelFoodHistory
Having worked over two decades I have absorbed many different characteristics. I have always worked within roles that dealt with people, building rapport quickly and effectively. In sales I used this ability to quickly connect and build relationships with businesses and their employees alike.

I enjoy doing many things including spending time with my family, creating art and socialising of course and enjoy the beautiful architecture that Barcelona, Spain brings.
Teaching currently in Bangkok at a public school.
Comfortable and adaptable in personality to meet students in a comfortable free space.
Hope to see you soon in classMe as a Teacher
I enjoy using a conversationalist approach and talk openly to each student in the same manner, I find this has been effective in allowing people to build on existing listening comprehension skills and to accept the minor mistakes they can make and to enjoy the fluidity of modern English.My lessons & teaching style
C.A.S Course
1.) Group Exercise - Problem/Solution - Lessons will be focused on conversational approaches, topics will be selected and an outline provided and together we will review and discuss the topic. We can openly annotate on screen and work together in small group activities to allow further understanding.
2.) Book Club - Reading Comprehension Classes - assisted reading to build confidence and fluidity in reading comprehension from juniors to adults, from children books to renowned literature. The aim to discuss the book as reading chapter by chapter to show further comprehension.
3. Free Talk - Student can bring topic to discuss or we can openly chat about daily life and activities.My teaching material

Andrew is awesome :)))
It is sooo dificult to find a teacher, which can really communicate with kids rather then "stick to teaching". Very motivating, super interestung and really authentic communication. Thank you very much, Andrew! :)
