About Me
italki teacher since Feb 18, 2019Interest topicFilms & TV SeriesReadingHistoryEnvironment & NatureMusic
Hi, thanks for visiting my profile! My name is Sue and I'm from Wellington, the capital of beautiful New Zealand.
I've travelled extensively in Central Asia, Nepal, India, and South America, and have recently been learning Spanish. Travelling and music are my main interests, and I sing and play the Contract Bridge. I also have two adult sons. Teaching English is my second career - before that, I worked for 25 years as a lawyer.
Why choose me? My teaching style is warm, encouraging and personalised to the needs of my students at whatever level they are, and as your teacher I will never lose sight of your English learning goals. We will work together to achieve them!Me as a Teacher
I qualified as an English language teacher after completing an intensive CELTA course in 2019.
Since then, I've taught General English, IELTS and Cambridge C1 Advanced exam preparation in a classroom environment, and have also taught General, Business English and IELTS privately in person and online to students at all levels.
My recent teaching experience was at an English language school in Wellington, teaching the NZ Certificate of English Language (Level 2) to NZ permanent residents at Pre-Int (B1) level.
I design lessons for the needs and goals of the student, and always provide fun and interesting materials including news, movie and book discussion, role plays and games.My lessons & teaching style
Exam Preparation (my teaching focus): I can teach the IELTS, TOEFL ibt and Cambridge C1 Advanced exams. I will guide you through the relevant exam question format and ensure you know what to expect. We'll thoroughly practise all exam skills of Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking.
General English: Beginner (A2) to Advanced (C1), based on interesting and relevant topics. Includes vocabulary and grammar, and the key skills of Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking (including Pronunciation).
Conversation: Topic-based conversation, role plays and speaking games. Question and answer practice.
