About Me
italki teacher since Jul 16, 2024Interest topicGamingPets & AnimalsEnvironment & NatureSports & FitnessMusic
Hi! Hallo! Bonjour! Hola! مرحباً !
My name is Alex, I'm 25 years old from England, and I am so very excited to help you master the English language. I am a professional musician alongside tutoring English, and have completed many tours around the United Kingdom and EU.
I studied Music at the Royal Northern College of Music, and have recently obtained the Cambridge English Language Teaching Award (CELTA), focussed on online tutoring.
My hobbies include touring Europe with my band, Dutch culture, British and European Politics, football (i'm a season ticket holder at Middlesbrough FC), and walking with my dog!Me as a Teacher
I have two years of private tutoring experience as an English tutor, in which I have developed techniques of efficient, yet enjoyable language learning. I focus mainly on natural methods but also have access to a large range of textbooks, accredited by Cambridge EL tutoring. I took my CELTA course online, which allowed me to develop modern tutoring techniques using online resources.
I applied all of my methods to learn Dutch to business level standard within 2 years, and am excited to pass down everything I have learnt to my students on italki.My lessons & teaching style
I am open to teaching beginners, intermediate, or advanced students. My lesson plans will be very much adapted to your needs, which we can chat about in a trial lesson!
I am DBS checked (UK disclosure and barring service), and can provide certification if requested.Teaching experience
