Acerca de mí
Profesor de italki desde 25 de May de 2021Tema de interésComidaSaludMúsica
I am an innovative and dedicated English language teacher, and father of 3, living in the beautiful city of Bath, in England.
Teaching is my passion, but I also design online courses. In my free time I play guitar and chess, keep fit running and swimming, and I absolutely love cooking - and eating!
My students describe me as friendly, fun, organised, caring and professional.Mostrar traducción
Yo como profesor
I am a creative, friendly, highly skilled professional, with 19 years’ experience as a teacher, academic manager and teacher trainer.
I have taught general English, academic and exam English, business English, and English for specific purposes like aviation, hospitality, sport and health, travel, social media, entertainment, and so on. I have taught students from age 4 to 94, and levels A0 to C2 – but I have special expertise in online and blended learning, fluency and pronunciation.
Although I have built an extensive library of teaching materials, I always first establish exactly what my students need and create the most suitable materials, lessons and activities just for them.Mis clases y método de enseñanza
I teach with enthusiasm, kindness, patience, resourcefulness, and a complete confidence in my students achieving their goals.
I have developed my own approach to language training, which works with all students in all situations: Activate-Authenticate-Accelerate. I quickly get students using all the language they have previously learned, helping them communicate on all topics (activate); I always make the language as real as possible and always relevant to the students’ needs in their own lives (authenticate); and everything I do is designed to help students improve as quickly as possible by coaching them into becoming expert learners (accelerate). Most importantly, I get results, FAST!Mi material didáctico
