About Me
italki teacher since May 4, 2018Interest topicTravelHistoryScience
Hi,
I love meeting and talking with people around the world and learning about the perspectives of people from different cultures. Travel, world culture, society and politics are all favourite discussion topics of mine.
I have a PhD in psychology and also enjoy discussing personality and the mind. I offer specialist classes in academic and professional English, but am particularly specialised in this area. I am also happy to consult and proofread on any projects relating to your academic essays or professional documents.
I look forward to meeting you!Me as a Teacher
During my PhD I realised that I had a passion for teaching and decided to go into it full-time as a result.
I have taught English professionally in the classroom in China, Cambodia, Georgia and the UK, and I also have several years of online English teaching experience.
During my career I have taught business English, and also IELTS and TOEFL preparation. I also particularly enjoy teaching pronunciation, phonics and accents.My lessons & teaching style
I have a friendly and relaxed teaching style, and I try to adjust the pace and style of my teaching to match that of the student. I like to get to know my students as individuals and to arrange my lessons in ways which will suit their needs.
The one thing I do stress is that students need to talk in all lessons. I like to use a communicative style in which the student gets a lot of speaking practice. Despite my academic background, I am not a lecturer who will simply talk students through a slideshow or PPT.My teaching material

I really enjoy lessons with Liam! He´s really involved in the process, he knows how to make you feel comfortable and he´s very well-prepared for the lessons. I also like it that Liam makes his classes tailor-made for me and gives me the material on the topics he feels I like. A brilliant and well-educated teacher. I look forward for further work together.

Highly professional and flexible, he can lead and structure the lesson but is also open to students' input on what's important to them. Super smart! I highly recommend this person.
