About Me
italki teacher since Sep 24, 2018InterestsTravelBusiness & FinanceSports & FitnessTechMusic
After graduating in Economics in the UK, I worked in finance in London for firms such as Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan and Bank of America, until moving to China in early 2017. There I studied Chinese in sunny Kunming, Yunnan before moving back to the UK five and a half years later in late 2022. I love China, and learning Mandarin has been one of the most rewarding things I've done. I love eating delicious food, and keeping fit by running, cycling and hiking. I also really enjoy travelling and have already been to many places in China.
***Please note: Sorry, but I don't offer classes for kids***Me as a Teacher
I'm from the South of England and my accent can be considered as "standard" British English. Because I am also learning a language right now, I totally understand the challenges involved.
I am a patient, friendly and supportive teacher, so if you feel anxious about speaking English, especially with native speakers, don’t worry! I’m certain you will feel comfortable talking with me - check my feedback for some comments from existing students. Above all, I believe learning should be enjoyable, and I will help you build your confidence so you can use your English skills effectively.
***Please note: Sorry, but I don't offer classes for kids***My lessons & teaching style
I offer three types of class:
1. Intermediate to advanced level conversation practice.
I can help you by correcting mistakes, suggesting new phrases, vocabulary and idioms, and helping you improve your pronunciation or British accent.
2. Business English classes
From CVs, cover letters and interviews to networking, negotiating and presenting, I can help you to get ahead in an English business environment.
3. Freeform classes (including exam preparation)
I can help you with IELTS, Cambridge and other English exams, finance-related English, essays, understanding British culture, and anything else not in my other two class types. Just let me know!My teaching material
