About Me
italki teacher since Feb 22, 2019Interest topicMedical & HealthcareTravelFood
I'm originally from London, but I've been living in Indonesia with my husband and our two children for the last 6 years. I love living in such a different culture; the challenges, compromises, empathy and insights fascinate me everyday. We run a small solar powered, wooden guesthouse on top of the sea, and are currently working on a sister business and other non-profit ventures. Nature is a very important part of my life; I find a lot of peace within it. I love learning from a wide variety of people, in my day-to-day life and through italki too. I am a qualified yoga teacher, which is my passion, along with swimming, studying, being with my family and hanging out on the beach.Me as a Teacher
I have been a community tutor on italki for over three years and in this time I have learnt a lot of effective ways to help people improve their English. For example, I’ve found that most learners are looking for a comfortable environment where they can feel at ease experimenting with the language. I’m laid back, friendly, encouraging and honest. I love hearing people’s stories from all around the world, and having such a wide variety of students helps me to understand better what students' needs are and how to meet them.My lessons & teaching style
Lessons with me are casual, adaptable and constructive. I always prepare a topic with questions to discuss, but am always happy to go with the natural flow of conversation. I offer a variety of homework tasks to those who are interested and I set some time at the end of the lesson to go over written grammatical and pronunciation corrections I have noted down throughout the lesson. I also note new vocabulary and general tips on how to sound more fluent and natural. I obviously love to talk about my own topics of interest but love hearing from students on italki about their passions too. It’s always great to learn new things.My teaching material
