About Me
italki teacher since Apr 17, 2020Interest topicFilms & TV SeriesHistoryReadingBusiness & FinanceTech
Hello, 你好,
I have lived and worked in Britain, China and Korea. I can speak some Chinese and I love learning languages. I really want to learn some more German and Japanese in the future and hopefully start Arabic.
I am very interested in many topics such as psychology, education, business, philosophy, history, physics, storytelling and many more. I am really happy to talk about serious topics and also normal cultural things like movies, books, TV, work and life.
I am building my own English course and am preparing to apply for a PhD in Education with a focus on vocabulary memory.
I believe I learn from every new person I meet :)Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching English for over 15 years. I teach beginners (A1) to advanced (C1 and C2) students. I teach teenagers, university students and professional adults. I have taught many students from All over the world.
I have a Masters in Applied Linguistics and Teaching English. I also have a Trinity College Diploma TESOL which is a Masters-level qualification for teaching adults.
I have taught IELTS, Cambridge exams, Business English and many other types of classes to groups and to one-to-one students. I have lots of experience explaining grammar and helping people to remember vocabulary.
I will always be happy to help you. Remember, making mistakes helps you to learn.My lessons & teaching style
It is very important for me to understand why you want better English and what English problems you have. I can help you to focus on your specific goals and problems.
I am very good at explaining grammar points to people and I can give you lots of examples to help you study.
I know homework and reading/watching articles/videos is very important for you to improve your English in between classes. When we meet we can talk about the work and I can answer your questions so that you will learn more.
I will work on your pronunciation.
I will improve your grammar.
I will correct your errors.
I will make you confident at speaking English and ready for your exams or for using English at work!My teaching material

Had a great lesson with James. He is friendly, supportive and knowledgeable . He patiently explained the grammar mistakes I made and pointed out what areas I need to work on to sound more native.

Excellent teacher, he gives you the opportunity to learn by talking about interesting topics, correcting your pronunciation, encouraging you to read more books, magazines, and TV programs, and then we discuss them.
