About Me
italki teacher since Feb 20, 2013InterestsReadingTechPets & Animals
Video or audio lessons with a NATIVE British English teacher living in the HEART of Europe. I would describe myself as OPEN-MINDED, PATIENT and RELIABLE; three qualities I believe are fundamental to teaching. I LOVE helping people achieve their GOALS whether it be passing an exam, getting a good job, gaining confidence or just improving conversation skills, AND I will give each of my students the VERY BEST teaching service possible.
I can help you with IELTS or a Cambridge exam, proofreading a school or university essay, having an interview or giving a business presentation, learning to have a conversation like a native ...... and much much more !!Me as a Teacher
I started my career working as a COMPUTER PROGRAMMER back in the 1980's, then became an IT CONSULTANT (working for many BIG companies in London) and finally, after getting MARRIED and starting a family, I moved into teaching. I have now been teaching for 20 years in school, at home and online. I am also learning 3 languages (French, German and Italian) here on Italki, so I have lots of language STUDENT EXPERIENCE as well :)My lessons & teaching style
I believe everyone CAN learn a language if they are motivated enough, so I simply try to make my lessons INTERESTING and FUN: combining instruction, practice and careful ERROR correction within a context chosen specifically for EACH student.
I am happy to provide email SUPPORT between lessons, and I can set as much or as little HOMEWORK as each student can manage.
** lessons can be held with or without video - some students feel more comfortable without it, and may prefer to focus on the audio.
** My lesson schedule can be varied, so if the time you would like to book a lesson doesn't appear available on my Italki schedule, please just send me a message and ask.My teaching material
