About Me
italki teacher since Jan 27, 2022InterestsEnvironment & NatureMusicHistoryTravel
Hello, I'm Rachel from England but I now and live in Spain. Although I should have retired several years ago I enjoy being busy and meeting new people. For that reason I have continued to teach English and have enjoyed every minute. My students and I have shared lots of information about each other's culture and pastimes and have built meaningful relationships.
I love music of all types from Classic to Blues and Pop. Travel is also important for me and I went on a road trip around Spain last summer. It was a really good experience, having to exercise my Spanish and I enjoyed meeting many people.I have just started to learn Classical guitar. I have two daughters and a son and 5 grandchildrenMe as a Teacher
For me it is important that my students enjoy their time with me and that their lessons help them to progress to achieve their goals, whatever they may be. However, some students have wanted to improve their confidence and fluency in spoken English. I like to provide a service that achieves my students' goals, not my own in a way that suits them. I like my students to feel relaxed as this makes speaking the language so much easier.My lessons & teaching style
For the structured lessons we use the Cambridge Text Books . However, I also like to move away from the text books sometimes and maybe talk about cultural events that are about to happen. This gives you an opportunity to learn relevant new vocabulary and also to add a little lightness to the lessons. I do prepare homework assignments with agreement from my students. If your aim is to improve your spoken English then the lessons are less structured and you may choose the topics that we discuss. I will of course set out exercises relating to the topic so you get the necessary practice.My teaching material
