About Me
italki teacher since May 26, 2021Interest topicFoodScienceTravel
I was born in the UK and now live in Australia. I have also lived in other areas in the world including South America, South East Asia and the Caucasus region. I love travelling and exploring different cultures and cuisines.
I enjoy teaching adults and teenagers.Me as a Teacher
I am a qualified English teacher with over 10 years experience and I have taught English in Australia, Laos, the Republic of Georgia and Argentina. My students have ranged from Beginner to Advanced and have come from many parts of the world including Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Saudi Arabia, China, Vietnam, Georgia, Laos and Thailand.
I have taught at Universities, Colleges and Language schools and lessons have included face to face with groups and individuals as well as internet based lessons on Skype and Zoom.
My students have included all age groups from 12 year Olds to students in retirement.My lessons & teaching style
My preference when teaching is to tailor my lessons to suit the needs and wants of students.
I try to have my students push their own boundaries in a comfortable environment and use encouragement to help students improve their language skills.
I prefer that the classes be interactive and be enjoyable, as this makes learning fun rather than a chore.
I also like to find topics that the students are interested in as this makes the material more meaningful to them.
Teaching can include homework, tutoring, conversation practice, speech coaching and test preparation.My teaching material

Paul is really good English teacher. He asked me what needs to be covered in the lesson proactively before lesson. For the first time we chat about various topics from self introduction to traveling and the opinions about the latest news. It’s really helpful during the lesson we had. He is very careful to write down the detail of the conversations and then tell you where is not appropriate and give you some advice how to say it better from the perspective of a native speaker.
