About Me
italki teacher since Aug 29, 2016Interest topicTravelTechMusicSports & FitnessScience
Hi - I'm a British online Science-with-English teacher, with many young students in Russia, China, S.E. Asia, Europe and the USA. I have a Master's degree in Space Science from University College, London. I live in Thailand. I am available to teach young students aged 7 - 18 years old.
I can teach Science topics that support the student's school curriculum. Or I can teach topics that they are personally interested in.
Topics:
Plants + Animals
Earth + Space
Solids, liquids, gases
Magnets + Magnetism
Electrical Systems
Weather
Arduino + Robotics
Radio + satellites
Forces + Motion
Chemistry
... and many more!Me as a Teacher
I bring Science to life in my lessons with many popular science topics! graded for the age of each student. I adjust my English language level to match the language abilities of my student, enabling him/her to learn English and Science at the same time.
I have been a teacher at international schools in Asia for 14 years. Now I teach 'online' full-time from my fully-equipped online classroom.
I'm a very popular and patient teacher, especially with younger students. My Science topics are explained with the aid of pictorial Science books, photos, short YouTube videos, drawings and live searches on Google Search'.My lessons & teaching style
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please check my calendar for a suitable lesson time to match your local time zone.
My teaching style is informal and relaxing. I'm a very popular and patient teacher, especially with younger students who may be unable yet to read and speak English well. My students use Skype, Zoom, iTalki or Voov software application for our lessons.
For students who want to follow a school/age grade science curriculum in their lessons, I can send you a free pdf of the textbook 'A Closer Look'.
NO-SHOW: If a student isn't present 15 minutes after the booked lesson starts, the lesson fee will be charged!My teaching material
