About Me
italki teacher since Feb 9, 2018Interest topicFoodHistoryFilms & TV Series
I'm TEFL certified and A Levels in English Language and Literature. Over the years, I have assisted my non-native friends with English language issues and the positive feedback made me realize that I had a calling. I love travelling and I spend a lot of time in Spain and working on improving my Spanish. My students range from 8yrs old to adults in their 50s. I also have a BA Honours Degree in Acting. I like tackling pronunciation issues using techniques learnt during my BA, to aid my students with the typical difficulties they have in this area. I teach in both Standard American and Standard British RP accents.Me as a Teacher
I have a holistic approach to language learning. Not only do I focus on skills teaching , I work on student confidence. I believe that no matter how much grammar and vocabulary you know, if you don't have the confidence to speak when you need to, then it's like you know nothing at all. I will focus on techniques to build your confidence, so you can achieve your English language goals!
I have experience in teacher children as young as 8 years old and I utilize different teaching techniques. I use flashcards, phonics, stuffed animals, games, stories and other tools in my teaching.
For my Business English course, I use materials from a fully accredited and well known British organisation.My lessons & teaching style
I'm a teacher that seeks to keep my students' level on anxiety as low as possible. I know from personal experience as a student of Spanish this can be a problem. I focus on the needs and level my students are at. Their impetus for learning English greatly influences the materials I choose to cover. I always ensure that there is a mutual respect between myself and students. I'm always professional, but as I am a very relaxed person myself, I try to always bring calm to my class.My teaching material

The lesson was excellent! my kids really enjoyed the lesson with Shonel. She was patient and very friendly as well as professional and insisted on using English only during the lesson despite speaking Spanish as well. My daughters love her and we are looking forward to more lessons with her! Gracias!

I had my first lesson with Shonel today, and she is exactly that tutor whom I was looking for. She is a very positive, intelligent, dynamic and seasoned professional, and what I felt instantly – she is very concerned about her students’ progress, what is critical to me. I’m very inspired and looking forward to our next lessons!

I like the lessons with Shonel. She is helpful and adapts the lessons to your needs. I feel more confident in speaking after improving my pronunciation and grammar with Shonel. She takes her time and provides you with tips and advice.
