About Me
italki teacher since Aug 9, 2021Interest topicReadingTechBusiness & Finance
I live in Nova Scotia, Canada close to the ocean with my wife and daughter. My days are spent working with ESL students, studying, reading, exercising, working outdoors and other adventures.
My hobbies have been sailing, private flying, extensive travel, gardening, and many other activities. Business has been very important to me for over 30 years and opened my eyes to many things.
ESL teaching is an incredible experience and I learn form my students everyday. It has provided the opportunity to make a real difference in people's lives.Me as a Teacher
I help business and IT professionals improve their communications.
Teaching has been an experience far beyond my expectations and I wish I'd found it earlier. Being able to contribute to the success of my students is a gift I can't begin to measure.
All my business experience and 3000 hours teaching IT and business professions has provided the experience to understand the methods taught in my TESOL course and other courses. The B.Comm. and public accounting work has also provided skills I use in many lessons.
The communication skills I learned in public and private business plus as a chamber of commerce president also help my students achieve their goals of becoming confident in English.My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is focused on students get to natural speaking and writing competence so they can easily lead meetings and communicate complex ideas. The 8 step IELTS and CELPIP preparation classes are designed for a band 7 IELTS or level 9 CELPIP and higher.
During our classes we hear, speak, write and read English through exercises and presentations with positive correction. I focus on collocations which are the natural ways natives speak and write. Learning collocations allows students to speak and write in a natural way and predict conversations.
We start by assessing your strengths and areas requiring improvement which allows us to develop a custom plan to achieve your goals.My teaching material
