About Me
italki teacher since May 6, 2010Interest topicPets & AnimalsWritingFilms & TV SeriesFoodReading
Hello. I'm a native English speaker from the UK. I live in Bulgaria and am a keen student of Bulgarian. I've been working as a professional teacher of English since 2005. Since 2010, I've mostly taught online. I'm a very experienced teacher who can adapt lessons to your needs and interests and make them fun. I can help you to build your skills and confidence in English in a supportive and friendly environment.Me as a Teacher
I'm an English native speaker who graduated with a degree in English.
I qualified as a teacher in 2005. After that, I worked in a branch of a large international language school for 7 years, teaching General and Business English to adults.
Since 2010, I've been teaching online, and I've taught thousands of lessons and hundreds of students.
I now specialise in teaching General English and in IELTS preparation.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are very student-focused because, in this way, you will learn the language that you need, not the language that a text book thinks you need. All lessons are speaking classes. So, whether we are working on reading, listening, writing or grammar, the focus of the session will be making you speak. I use a wide range of materials depending on your interests. I also provide lots of advice on how you can improve your English between lessons so that you can become a motivated and independent learner.My teaching material

Checked! Here's the revised version:
Five years ago, I was afraid to even speak in English, let alone write. Now, with the help of Claire, I have passed the IELTS with a C1 level, enrolled in an English master's program, and I am very happy that my dream has come true. Thank you, Claire, for the interesting lessons and for your support and encouragement.

Claire has helped me achieve 7.0 in IELTS, her methods are very effective for speaking and writing. I'm greatful of her help.
Plus, having class with Claire is enjoyable, we not only practice IELTS contents, but also discuss movies, novels as well as news in the world from time to time.
She is also patient and careful, like correcting every of my preposition mistake, instructing the most appropriate structure of the sentence.
Anyway, Claire helped me a lot, and I feel lucky to meet her when I first started to study on italki.
