Acerca de mí
Profesor de italki desde 7 de Dec de 2018Tema de interésSaludArteComidaViajesAnimales
Hello there! I'm a person who enjoys meeting new people and engaging in intelligent discussions with people from all over the world. I love engaging and discussing cultural differences; and cultural adaptation - that is one of my specialities. I have also lived in several countries, and travelled to others, so I understand the difficulties and challenges in learning another language. This makes me more capable of helping others gain confidence in speaking English.
I have both a BA and a BSc degree, and have run a business, which enables me to engage deeply on a range of topics.
I love art, science, history and philosophy, as well as any kind of social science.Mostrar traducción
Yo como profesor
Hello. I love meeting new people from around the globe, I enjoy teaching people English using my TEFL qualification..and am in the top 1% of Italki teachers 2022.
I do Business English - such as preparation for interviews or presentations, conflict resolution, running meetings. I am specialised in cross-cultural topics. I am good at helping people feel confident in speaking.
I tend to use various English-learning websites, newspaper articles, or slideshow presentations as springboards for discussion. We discuss what you prefer - whether practising idioms; or learning what English people never say. Practising tenses, prepositions or any grammar is worked into our conversations seamlessly.Mis clases y método de enseñanza
I have a relaxed, easy-going style, even though the subject-matter may be highly intellectual and demanding - whatever level you are at. I can also teach more formally, with goals, objectives and regular feedback. I use websites and presentations, or conversation, depending on your needs. We will use newspaper articles, magazine articles, or topics of relevance, such as resolving workplace conflicts, in order to help you move forward in your language.
I also give homework.
My main aim is to help your fluency and confidence without seeming like it.
I tend to correct your language as we go along, typing both the mistaken and corrected English in the Skype comment section. .Mi material didáctico

Experiencia docente
2004 - 2024
TeacherI worked with students of English in the UK and in South Africa, both in formal and informal settings. I taught general conversational English and business English, drawing on a wealth of experience in the business arena.
1991 - 2014
Staff Mentor and TrainerI worked in the business arena for many years, training many in soft skills. There after, I started a business of my own, and ran it for three years. It was a holiday company, so I have experience in starting and running a business. What I don't have is specific, high-level IT or accounting experience. However, I can teach Business English from the point of view of experience and further learning.

In this lesson, Karen helped me with my pronunciation and fluency. I read some articles after her and this helped me improve my awareness of stress and intonation. And then I repeated the sentence that she read without seeing the article, and this is a form of test in PTE, which I'm preparing for. It's an effective lesson.

I did an outstanding conversation with Karen. It was a historical description of Italian economic history. Karen is an amazing teacher who helps me to handle different topics in the right way of speaking. Thank you!

Karen is a great tutor. I like the intensity of her lessons. Actually, I'm not a talkative person even in my mather language. Her lessons pushed me forward and made me have to think fast, speak fast. I think the practice of reaching many topics that I've never really considered is really helpful!

Waiting anxiously for the next lesson
