About Me
italki teacher since Nov 29, 2017Interest topicGamingTravelSports & Fitness
Hey everyone!
I'm Kent, a native English speaker originally from New Zealand but now currently living in France. My favourite hobby is learning foreign languages, it's something I have been interested in since I was young. Other than languages another great passion of mine is travelling, I love exploring new cultures, getting to know new and interesting people, learning about the history and of course trying the local cuisine!Me as a Teacher
I have a Bachelor's degree majoring in Linguistics and German and I'm also a CELTA (Cambridge English Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) qualified teacher.
I started teaching English two and a half years ago while living abroad in France, while there I mainly taught adults and teenagers. I have been a Community Tutor here on Italki since November 2017 and have helped hundreds of students achieve their English language goals.My lessons & teaching style
★ Google Sheet document ★ - I provide each student with a Google Sheet document, accessible to you at any time. I will use this document to note down errors during the lesson. At the end of the lesson, we will go over your mistakes together and I will provide you with explanations to help clarify the errors you made.
My lessons are tailored specifically with your goals in mind, whether it be improving your spoken fluency, pronunciation, exams e.g. IELTS or grammar. I'm flexible and I'm more than happy to adapt to my student's needs. I have found conversation based lessons to be the most effective for my students. We can discuss any topic but preferably something that you are interested in.My teaching material
