About Me
italki teacher since Aug 9, 2021InterestsMarketingFoodArtBusiness & FinanceSports & Fitness
Hello, my name is Ruth - I'm a native English speaker from the United Kingdom, although I now live in Portugal and am currently learning Portuguese, so I completely understand what it's like to learn a new language! I enjoy photography, cooking, reading, travelling, meeting and talking to new people and discovering their cultures.
I am a qualified TEFL teacher with a degree in Business Law and a business background that covers marketing, design and technology so I'm sure we can find plenty to talk about.Me as a Teacher
I have a neutral British accent, am very patient and speak slowly and clearly; I am also easy going and happy to chat on lots of different topics; if you are a beginner, don't worry, we will soon have you communicating with confidence.
I have many years of experience in tutoring and coaching in the business sector so I can bring particular value to those wanting to improve their confidence in business English.My lessons & teaching style
Lessons are student centred, customised to your learning needs and requirements allowing you to develop your confidence and ability. I encourage you to speak as much as possible during the lesson and will provide practical feedback and suggestions on areas for improvements. We will use a mixture of materials from everyday life including news articles, videos, images, company brochures, manuals and diagrams along with any other material that you may wish to include. Depending on your needs we can spend time in discussion, role play, structured conversations, presentations, listening practice or pronunciation.
If you would like homework to study outside the lesson then just let me know.My teaching material

Ruth est une professeure passionnante et passionnée, elle est à l'écoute et de très bon conseil !
Elle a su s'adapter à mon niveau d'anglais et à mes besoins, je me sens à l'aise de lui poser des questions et de pratiquer la conversation dans une ambiance rassurante et professionnelle.
Merci beaucoup ! ☀️

My daughter loves Ruth! It's a great pleasure to practice English with this teacher! She helps to choose the topic of the lesson taking into consideration the interests of her pupil. Her speach is very clear, she always explains unknown words. I do recommend Ruth for those who want to practice English!

Ruth is an excellent teacher. The lesson passed comfortably. Ruth cheered up the student, repeated the words if it was necessary. The student learned new words. Thank you, Ruth!
