💡 To touch the mind, invariably we must first touch the heart; learning English is no different. ❤ Welcome to my 1500-character teacher introduction space on italki! What follows is a little bit about me... I was born in Hong Kong to a British father, a Fijian mother, and, having spent large swathes of my life in parts of the globe as far-flung as the Middle East and South America, could be considered myself a mongrel child of the world! I have been teaching adults and children English as a Second Language (ESL), English Language, and English Literature since 2005. I had worked in-person at schools over the course of 15 years until 2020 when I started teaching English online, and have been a teacher on the italki since 2021. In terms of my teaching style, I like to build a close and comfortable rapport with my students, whilst respecting the personal boundaries that any successful relationship must enjoy. I love to dive deep on themes, topics, and the quintessential questions of life and meaning in all its forms. Learning English shouldn't simply be about language mechanics, it's a learning journey that should be an enriching educational experience. I endeavour to offer integral English lessons that address individual needs from the bottom-up, filling in any knowledge gaps along the way. I strive to inject you with confidence, positive energy, & eternal optimism. I hope to exchange wisdom, and make you feel more alive when we finish class than you did when we started. Questions? DM me! Otherwise, go ahead and book a trial lesson and we'll go from there! 🌠

Qualified teacher with almost 10 years' experience, focusing mainly on official exam preparation Hello, my name is Stephen, I am originally from London, but I now live in Spain on the beautiful island of Menorca. I have nearly 10 years of teaching experience, and I have been a language learner for most of my life, so I understand the issues that you may be experiencing.

I have taught in public schools and specialised language schools in Spain over the last 10 years, and I currently work as a freelance teacher delivering online lessons to students both locally and internationally. Whatever you would like to achieve, I am here to help you. I can offer you a wide variety of classes, for example: preparation for official exams (Cambridge, IELTS, TOEFL, Linguaskill, Aptis etc), business English, conversation classes, writing correction etc. I am very adaptable though, so if you have any specific requests for things you would like to focus on, let me know and I can prepare the appropriate material. If you aren't sure what you would like to practice, in a trial lesson I can establish your level of English. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy watching all sports, but especially football, I am a huge Arsenal fan. I look forward to meeting you soon and helping you to achieve your English learning goals!
