About Me
italki teacher since Jul 6, 2014Interest topicSports & FitnessMusicReadingTravelWriting
Hello. My name is Susan and I am a British native teacher of English. I was brought up near London and also in Scotland where I was born. My accent is similar to the BBC repertoire.
I have a passion for languages and speak several myself including French, German, Dutch, Portuguese and Japanese. At some point I have studied all the languages that we have in Europe and am able to communicate in others as a tourist. I have lived and worked in six countries: France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Spain and Brazil.Me as a Teacher
I have now been teaching on line for over nine years. I have experience of teaching English to beginners right through to post graduate students. I have many years of experience of teaching for examinations such as 11+, 13+, GCSE, A level, Cambridge, Ielts, Toefl, HND, Skills exams.
I have four degrees, one is a B.Ed teaching degree and two honour degrees in French, German and Maths.
I have met many students on-line from all over the world and have been able to assist in their learning and achievements at all levels. Each lesson is different.
I have experience of teaching in primary, middle, secondary, evening classes, state, selective and private schools, British and International schools aMy lessons & teaching style
I believe that Modern Languages are important for communication and that a lesson should contain all four skills. I believe grammar and vocabulary are important. The lesson should be well structured, interesting and should have an element of fun. It is also necessary to use some traditional as well as modern methods of teaching such as role-plays, question and answer as well as ICT. Media also plays an important part especially television, video, radio, the internet and auditory stimulants. It is also good to use books, cartoons, rhymes, music, songs and poetry.My teaching material

The teacher was very sincere and was able to cover material even though it was the first session. She is also very approachable and flexible.
