About Me
italki teacher since Oct 8, 2021Interest topicHistoryTravelReading
Hi, I am from Cambridgeshire, England, and I was previously based in France for 16 years. In higher education I studied graphic design and photography.
In France, I was working as a marine engineer on a sailing yacht. Now I live in West Java in Indonesia.
I have always had to learn new languages and adapt to a new country since leaving my home country.
So therefore, I have my own learning methods, which I can relay on to my students.Me as a Teacher
I have completed a TESOL 120-hour course that is certified to teach English internationally. I believe listening and speaking are the best exercises. We always try to imitate others to improve our skills, whether in sports, the arts, or languages.
From my own experience, mastering conversation has helped me progress in a new language by raising my confidence to articulate words correctly through trial and error. My experience covers all ages, from 5-year-olds and up. I also want to mention that I have a fast optic fiber internet connection here!My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is very relaxed. I am extremely patient, and I speak slowly and clearly.
In the classes conversation is the primary exercise follwed by an article read aloud, as it's a great way to learn new vocabulary and improve pronunciation.
Corrections are given in the message box, along with suggestions for grammar study based on your mistakes. You will have access to unlimited study materials, and feedback is provided.
As finance and economics have always been an interest of mine, I am at ease conversing with and assisting students on business topics.
I have solid experience helping students prepare for up-and-coming exams for IELTS and CAE with proven results.My teaching material

The lessons with Gareth were very helpful in my preparation for the Cambridge CAE exam. He helped me significantly with all parts, corrected my essays, listened carefully when I practiced my speaking and at the end of each lesson he sent me notes, along with new words and mistakes I made so that I could learn from them. I was confident while taking the exam and I passed it. I would highly recommend Gareth to other students if you are looking for a teacher who will provide you with quality preparation and assistance.

He is really friendly and also find different topics to broaden student's horizens. I also got 7.0 for speaking of IELTS after having lessons with him. Additionally, what he suggested me use in speaking is so useful in speaking tests. Highly recommanded.
