About Me
italki teacher since Nov 16, 2018Me as a Teacher
NOTE: I usually add new classes to my schedule 1-2 weeks in advance when I know my plans for the week, to avoid cancelling lessons. You can assume that if the time is available now, it generally will be for future weeks too!
I love learning languages myself, so I understand the types of problems you might have and how to help, and that learning is more effective when it's fun!
With years of experience teaching, I will adapt the lessons to challenge and interest you. I understand the value of a great teacher, so am committed to help my students get as much as possible from each class.
General English conversation and Cambridge exam preparation are my specialties, for all levels and ages.My lessons & teaching style
Typical classes are divided into 3 SECTIONS:
> REVISION of vocabulary and grammar concepts from the previous lesson – vital to help things stick in your memory.
> NEW WORK based on homework – this could be a summary or discussion of an article/podcast/video, grammar point, or looking over a writing task.
> EXERCISE like a short debate, role-play picture description exercise or game, depending on what you enjoy.
> HOMEWORK if you want it (recommended!)
---
Topics will be diverse, relevant and engaging, supported by lots of interactive learning materials. I will always maximise your speaking time and correct your mistakes. Feel free to send me a message or book a lesson!My teaching material

Thank you for another lesson! The topics you offer encourage me to speak about the most unexpected things and use the vocabulary I didn't quite realise I was able to use.

We had a wonderful lesson. There are some collocations, which are really hard to understand and find in a dictionary, but Catherine assisted me to reveal the difference. I appreciate it and her feedback concerning my writing or pronunciation.
