About Me
italki teacher since Feb 22, 2018InterestsArtHistoryMusic
Native English speaker and professionally qualified English teacher from the UK with fifteen years teaching experience. I specialise in preparing students for IELTS as well as teaching general and conversational English. Currently I am teaching in Eskisehir which is an Anatolian city in Turkey. Let me help you upgrade your English.Me as a Teacher
I qualified to teach English as a foreign language in 2006 my motivation was that I thought it would be a useful back up skill, as it turns out it is also a very rewarding job that I enjoy immensely. I have about six years experience of teaching in schools (I've worked in six) and also take many private lessons. I often work with students preparing for IELTS (can also do TOEFL) most of whom need a 6.5 or above so far I haven't had a single student fail to achieve this score or higher.My lessons & teaching style
I follow the pragmatic approach to teaching focusing on the four skills sets reading, writing, listening and speaking. I also like to help improve my students pronunciation, vocabulary level and fluency. I don't focus heavily on grammar (I work with students who are intermediate and above) except in the case that a student specifically asks about a grammar topic they have a problem with or if I identify a grammar problem in your speaking or written work. I'm relaxed and personable in my lessons.My teaching material

Professeur agréable et sympathique. Il encourage et met en confiance, ce qui m'a permis de parler un peu plus facilement.
Accent fort qui force l'oreille à s'adapter.
