My name is Kim, I am from England, and I have been teaching English online for around 10 years. I love to meet people from different countries and to share experiences. In my spare time I like to travel, cook, watch films and play video games. Teaching students aged 16+.
Me as a Teacher
I am a very calm and patient teacher. I believe that a relaxed environment allows a student to improve much faster and so aim to make you feel as comfortable as possible while we are speaking together.
My lessons & teaching style
My lesson style is very fluid. I think to improve confidence and fluency, you have to be allowed to speak as much as possible without interruptions for corrections. So in general, the lesson may start with a topic in mind but if the conversation naturally deviates then I allow and encourage it!
I just want you to feel comfortable speaking and to enjoy your time with English. I won't jump in to correct you if you make mistakes, and as long as I can understand you I will just keep listening, and any corrections can be sent to you after the lesson has ended.
My main goal is for you to enjoy the lessons, so learning English doesn't feel like a chore, and is actually fun!

It's always a pleasure to talk with Kim. She always finds some interesting topic to talk about and we never run out of things to say. Lessons are always enjoyable so time goes by fast.

Thank you for the lesson. Kim is kind, but I would expect more from a professional teacher (and for the price).
