About Me
italki teacher since Apr 12, 2022Me as a Teacher
I am described as a patient person, I will take as long as needed to help you in every way so that you can achieve your goals. I aim to provide engaging lessons where you can learn in a fun and interactive way. I also want you to learn in a natural way, speaking with a native English speaker so you can feel confident in all situations when speaking in English!
For those of you whose first language is SPANISH, I will be able to help explain or translate anything you do not understand if you need.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons mainly focus on speaking.
We can focus on whatever topics you need/want in order for your English skills to progress. It doesn’t matter what your level of English is, I can help. We can focus on grammar, fluency, pronunciation, whatever it is that you need!
I try to use authentic materials in my lessons. For example, I would prefer to use news articles, magazines, blogs, extracts from books, films, podcasts and music so you can learn in a more fun and engaging way.My teaching material
- Articles and news
- Quizzes
- PDF file

Conversation lessons with Ellie have been invaluable experience so far. She is absolutely flexible when it comes to the student’s needs; our classses have been tailored to just what I needed.
She’s always on time, sometimes we even start early. When I needed, she squeezed me into her full schedule for a lesson. She’s responsive, talkative, casual, so that it feels like a chat with a friend, but she’s still alert and ready to correct you when you make a mistake.
Her Manchester accent is the best part; excellent preparation for real-life conversations - throughout my education I’d been exposed to just RP. Then, I went to England and was in for a shock. THIS IS ENGLAND FOLKS!
Ellie is a fantastic teacher and really good value for money.
Don’t hesitate and book in!
