About Me
italki teacher since Oct 11, 2021Interest topicPets & AnimalsEnvironment & NatureMedical & HealthcareScienceTravel
My name is Elizabeth, and I am 59 years old. I lived in England, but now I live in Portugal on a farm with my husband, six horses, four cats and two dogs. Horse riding is my passion, but I enjoy working on the farm, renovating our property, and spending time with my friends. I have always been adventurous; my former hobbies include skiing, yacht sailing, snorkelling and scuba diving.
I have been a teacher for over 30 years, but I only specialized in language teaching nine years ago when I moved to Portugal - before that, I taught sciences. Since moving to Portugal tenho estado a aprender portuguese, mas não sou fluente (I have been learning Portuguese, but I am not yet fluent).Me as a Teacher
I thoroughly enjoy helping people improve their English. It doesn't matter who you are; I have something to offer you, whether chatting about everyday things or preparing for a particular exam. It is a great privilege to meet so many amazing people through italki and hear about their lives. My students say that I am kind and patient, and I like to 'go the extra mile' for the people I work with.My lessons & teaching style
I would say that my teaching style is flexible and depends on what the student needs. We can chat, or I have eBooks and interactive general and business English materials for more structured lessons. These materials provide various activities and additional materials to share after the class. They are also excellent for exam preparation. In addition, my science background is useful when helping with specific technical language for people like environmentalists, engineers, or medics.My teaching material
