About Me
italki teacher since Sep 5, 2016InterestsMusicFoodHistoryGamingReading
π‘π¨π¦ My Background: I was born in Toronto, Ontario. π My parents are from a province called Newfoundland & Labrador, which is on the eastern side of Canada. π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦ We lived in Toronto until I was 7, and then we went back to their home province. πΊοΈ Growing up in two different parts of Canada with their unique ways of speaking and living has helped me become good at teaching Canadian English and culture. π£οΈπ
ππ Things I Like: I love spending time with my wife, making yummy food π³, enjoying music π΅, watching TV shows πΊ, having a good cup of coffee β, and sipping a nice beer πΊ. I also find traveling π and reading about history π really enjoyable! πMe as a Teacher

π My Goal: π£οΈ I want to assist you in practicing English as much as you'd like. π§ I believe that a good teacher is someone who listens carefully. So, I'll focus on listening to your English to understand where you need the most help. π Unlike many native English speakers who don't usually correct English learners, I'll kindly point out every mistake you make to help you improve. π
𧳠My Career: After school π, I did various jobs in Canada π¨π¦: construction π¨, cleaning π§Ή, and 5 years as a cook π³. In 2016, I began teaching English π£οΈ after marrying my wife π. My 6 years on Italki equipped me to assist with your English. π¨βπ³πMy lessons & teaching style
ππ My Test Prep Lessons: I offer special classes for the CELPIPβ’ English language test. As a certified IELTSβ’ coach, I'll give you the info you need to reach your target score! π―π
π
π My Structured Course: I use lesson plans from linguahouse.com, which offer top-notch resources for improving every aspect of English. During our lessons, we'll practice speaking π£οΈ, listening π, and reading π activities. I'll give you homework after each class, and we can go over it at the start of the next class to fix any mistakes. ππ

Shane is a great teacher who is friendly and supportive. He provided excellent recommendations and examples on how to approach tasks on the exam. He offered valuable practice for speaking and writing, correcting my mistakes and sharing his own examples. I truly enjoyed time spent on the lessons, and would definitely recommend him to anyone preparing for the CELPIP certification.
