About Me
italki teacher since May 24, 2019Interest topicTravelWritingBusiness & Finance
My highest scoring group of IELTS students have received 8.0 to 8.5. I specialize in both IELTS Academic, IELTS General, and kids lessons in Canadian classrooms and on italki. I graduated from the University of British Columbia in my hometown Vancouver and I am also Government of Canada certified. A copy of my certified licence is available to students upon enrollment and request.
I enjoy watching news from the BBC, CBC, and CTV. I like red wine and travelling to scenic, natural locations when the weather is good. And when I can, I ski at winter resorts, hike mountain trails, and sunbathe at sandy beaches.Me as a Teacher
I am an IELTS expert with thousands of hours of IELTS experience teaching in-person IELTS classes and online IELTS classes but I also teach TOEFL, TOEIC, and CELPIP from time to time. I have been teaching adults and kids since 2005.
Since 2006, I have been teaching as a certified professional teacher. In physical classrooms, I have taught students from between 40 and 50 different countries as well as 15 to 20 countries in online classes. Apart from IELTS students, I have also been teaching English to Canadian and international students aged 5 to 18 enrolled in public and private schools in British Columbia, Canada.My lessons & teaching style
Before each class, I encourage students to prepare questions that they wish to ask so I may customize a lesson plan for each student. This is particularly useful because students have different strengths and weaknesses. What are significant challenges for some students are not for other students.My teaching material
