About Me
italki teacher since Jul 13, 2018InterestsFoodMusicHistoryBusiness & FinanceSports & Fitness
My name is Richard, and I am from Manchester, England which is famous for its textile manufacturing during the industrial revolution, two well known football teams, great music bands such as The Stone Roses, The Smiths, and OASIS, and also its damp weather.
I am a Civil Engineer and I have worked on some major construction projects in the UK. I have been involved constructing bridges, buildings, railways tracks , trams tracks and highways,
I have spent may years travelling the world. I have traveled to many countries in Europe, Asia, and Latin America.
I have taken a career break and I am now living in Spain with my family where I have been teaching English for the last 5 years.
Me as a Teacher
I am very resourceful and I can tailor lessons to your specific needs. When teaching online, I generally have a short conversation with the student to warm things up before I share my screen and start the lessons. Lessons are conducted using presentation slides. I have had a lot of experience teaching the following types of students:
- Beginners
- Students preparing to take exams.
- Students wishing to improve their business English
- Intermediate Students
- Students preparing for job Interviews
- Advances students who want to learn English Idioms and practice their conversational skills.My lessons & teaching style
My Lessons are designed to focus on the students specific needs. To do this the student will be sent a placement test to complete. This will assess the students abilities in Grammar, Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. The results will indicate to me the areas in which the student needs to improve, so I will be able to create a learning plan in which the student will get a copy.
Lessons are generally designed to focus on improving the students grammar for the first half of the lesson, and then we would have a speaking activity in the second half of the lesson.My teaching material

Excellent lesson in which we shared our thoughts on a variety of topics. The teacher is really friendly and very well prepared and provides you with a great deal of appealling material.

Richard is definitely an excellent teacher. In addition, he has a very good method not only to teach but (what is more important) to help you in fulfilling your specific goals.
In my case, in which my goal is to improve my conversation skills, my fluency and my confidence in speaking English, I'm sure that Richard will help me to have a leap forward and not only a gradual improvement.

Great teacher, prepared, easy going and commited, the lesson was brilliant, we had a great debate on some topics and also some fun when commenting upon some English expressions. We made a plan, namely, to use many thought-provoking subjects in order to spur high level debates, this way I can use a lot of complex vocabulary in order to polish my skills further. In this first introductory lesson we crammed into it many things, and I was already able to make long forgetten words come out. I'm looking forward to be challenged. Speak soon, cheers.
