About Me
italki teacher since Nov 17, 2021InterestsBusiness & FinanceTravelSports & FitnessFoodFilms & TV Series
Hi!
My name is Conor and I am an English teacher here on italki. I studied Spanish and Geography in University College Dublin. After this, I completed the 120 Hour Advanced TEFL Qualification, as well as the 30 Hour Teaching English Online Course with the TEFL Institute of Ireland, before starting work as a soccer coach in a variety of different schools.
I am from Dublin in Ireland and I currently live in Seville, Spain. My native language is English, and my accent isn't too strong! Outside of teaching I love sports, especially soccer. I have worked as a full-time soccer coach for the last 5 years. I'm also interested in cooking and fitness.Me as a Teacher
I like to put the student's individual needs at the centre of the learning process. My own experience of majoring in Spanish in university allowed me to understand the most effective techniques to use when teaching a new language.
This, combined with my TEFL Certificate, has enabled me to understand how to best help any student of any standard to meet their English language goals. I teach students of any level, ranging from complete beginners to advanced learners preparing for specialised exams.
Soy una persona con fluidez en el idioma espanol. Por tanto, si es de tu preferencia conversar en esté, no tengo ningún inconveniente. !Yo te puedo explicar y ayudar con el mayor gusto!My lessons & teaching style
My teaching strategy is highly personalised. I'm aware that certain teaching methods and techniques are more helpful to some students than others. This allows me to specifically tailor each student's learning plan, allowing them to develop and improve their language skills at a speed they enjoy.
I like to find out early how best a student likes to learn. This allows me to include the right combination of visual, aural and oral aids in our classes. I also like to include real life materials such as Youtube entries and newspaper articles in my lessons.
Learning a new language should always be a joyful experience, so I always like to create a fun and relaxed environment during classes!My teaching material

I recently got my desired IELTS result after taking classes with Conor for a prolonged period. We worked on my speaking repeatedly, doing multiple exam papers every class. He gave me writing task 1 and 2 homeworks which kept me accountable, he then corrected the writing in class. We worked on expanding my vocabulary through the use of textbooks. He will definitely prepare you for IELTS 100%!

Conor is a magnificent teacher. Even after many, many lessons with him, I am still enjoying my time with him, and I am learning something new each and every time. Not only does he have the academic and educational knowledge to convey even the most intricate aspects of the English language, but his lighthearted sense of humour, in combination with his wide variety of materials, makes for an outstanding learning experience. Another point to highlight is his unmatched flexibility, which makes it easy to find a suitable time slot. I can't say enough good things about Conor and the time I spent with him.

Conor is an amazing teacher. We have been together for six months, and I'm still learning new vocabulary in every class. He understands my needs, and our classes are exclusively tailored to them. I enjoy his way of teaching, and his materials are always relevant to what's going on in the world, making the classes more realistic.
