About Me
italki teacher since Dec 2, 2021InterestsEnvironment & NatureHistoryFoodMusicTravel
I have 17 years teaching experience - in the classroom and online - and 20 in Tourism/Visitor Management. I love travel and the outdoors - especially walking, nature, the coast and countryside.
I've also lived in London and overseas, and love exploring towns, cities and culture, both locally & further afield, including with family in Hong Kong & The Netherlands.
Meeting and teaching students from around the world and learning about your country, culture, customs and language story too is a real joy for me :-)
An enthusiastic and committed teacher, I welcome motivated and committed students of all backgrounds. Do book a 30 minute Trial lesson ~ I look forward to meeting you soon!Me as a Teacher
🚶🏽♀ 'Language learning is a marathon not a sprint!'
I'm patient, friendly and flexible and want you to feel relaxed and enjoy our lessons. I value getting to know students as individuals. I’m a highly experienced TEFL qualified online teacher and former classroom teacher.
I like to understand why you're learning English, what your approximate current level is, and how I can best support you to cover your learning priorities and achieve your goals.
I will happily offer regular and positive, but honest feedback as we go !
Please book a 30 minute lesson initially, which can lead to further lessons/packages.My lessons & teaching style
I like to work in ways which support your learning best through eg conversation, using materials to read/discuss to extend your vocabulary and strengthen your sentence construction, or specific activities to support your grammar. Learning (and teaching!) should be interesting and fun :-)
We can agree your preferred ways of learning and focus together.
I have many long term, regular students, but new students are welcome too!
Please book a 30 minute first lesson.

I have been preparing for the OET exam with Annette, focusing mainly on Speaking and Writing subtests. I'm very pleased with the progress I've made under her guidance. In just one hour, we could work on many different speaking scenarios, which greatly enhanced my confidence and fluency.
She also assisted me with writing letters, providing valuable feedback to improve my writing skills. If you're looking to do well in the OET exam I highly recommend Annette.
