Me as a Teacher
•I have 7 years of experience teaching English to people from around the world, both online and in person.
•I received my CELTA teaching qualification in 2019, allowing me to further improve my teaching methods and classes.
•I have experience teaching English at a school in Bordeaux, at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, and as a volunteer in South America.
My lessons & teaching style
•My classes are mainly based on speaking and discussing different topics but will have some grammar sprinkled in. We will use articles, videos, and presentations to help guide the lessons.
I offer a few different types of classes. General and conversational classes will include lots of speaking, so you can gain confidence. I also offer IELTS preparation, and have helped students from around the world to reach their target score in the IELTS exam.
•I am a very relaxed person in general, and this is also how I like to carry out my lessons. I want you to be relaxed and comfortable in our lessons, as if you were talking to a friend.

Owen is very patient und his teaching method is very impressive. He knows where the students need explaining and he explains that in a very clear way. He also gives me tips on how to learn new collocations. Just want to keep learning English with Owen! Thank you Owen!
