I’ve directed a few short films and have written screenplays and short stories. I’m passionate about Pop Culture and Travel.Me as a Teacher
Learning English should be FUN! It's a beautiful language - learning it will open up a world of possibilities. I've helped students greatly improve their speaking and general English skills.
I've also advised students how to successfully interview for a new job and craft tailor-made CVs.
I will help you learn English by using a different subjects you are passionate about; if for example you enjoy cooking, our lessons will focus on restaurants, recipes and food. You will learn faster by using a topic you are already interested in.
I’ve taught TESOL in Taiwan for 9 years and on iTalki for 4 years. I hope to meet you soon!My lessons & teaching style
I am informal and friendly – I want you to feel comfortable and engaged while you learn.
I provide support every step of the way as well as constructive feedback.
Initially I will do a quick assessment, then recommend areas we need to focus on.
I will send teaching materials to familiarize yourself with before lessons.
