About Me
italki teacher since Sep 28, 2018Interest topicBusiness & FinanceTravelTechLegal ServicesMarketing
I have been teaching since 2006 and I have coached and supported 1000's of students to get that job, give that presentation or pass that exam.
My pass rate for official exams is 100% which includes IELTS, TOEFL, TOIEC and the Cambridge exams. I am committed to helping you achieve your goals in English.
I am a proficient Spanish speaker and this experience has helped me to become a better teacher. When I was learning Spanish I really developed an understanding of what it is to learn a new language.
I have a wide knowledge of cultural differences, having lived all over the world, and I can share this knowledge with you to help you in your work or life situation.Me as a Teacher
As a teacher I am professional and motivated by your success. I am knowledgable enough to know what style of classes will suit you best and I use top quality materials to reinforce our learning plan. I am constantly striving to improve my teaching and I keep up to date with new practices and theories on learning languages.
I am adept at providing opportunities for you to practice and rehearse what we have learnt in class and use our class time efficiently to only study what is essential for you at this time. I am fun and interesting as a teacher and you will enjoy the classes as much as I do. Teaching is my passion and I am very happy to share this with you.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are a mix of practice, rehearse and recycle what we need to work on. I take my lead from your needs and I will correct and guide you towards your goals using a mix of resources and materials focussing on the skills you need to improve for example, pronunciation, grammar, public speaking, exam presentation or participating in meetings.
I use materials that contain listenings, readings, grammar practice and vocabulary building exercises and I aim to get you the student speaking for most of the time in our classes. I include written feedback on errors and explanations as part of our classes.My teaching material

The first lesson with Fiona exceeded my expectations, my nervousness and fear were completely gone after only a few minutes. I haven´t had an English conversation practice for years but thanks to Fiona, her patience and professional guidance I began talking very soon and started to recollect my long forgotten vocabulary.

I´ve been learning English with Fiona for a while and I would highly recommend her lessons. Fiona is a professional and supportive teacher. She has a wide range of interesting and useful learning materials. I also like how she explains difficult grammar concepts. I am looking forward to our next class.

The lesson was great, Fiona gave me good advice about structuring my speech. So far I had three lessons and each of them was helpful. Fiona is always prepared, has additional materials and the most important – thoroughly and reasonably corrects me.

Honestamente no disfrute la clase, la descripción dice que habla español, pero toda la clase fue en inglés, mi nivel de inglés es muy malo, así que comunicarme fue realmente difícil, llegó varios minutos tarde y se fue antes del tiempo que había pagado.
