À propos de moi
Professeur italki depuis le 6 May 2020Sujets d'intérêtScienceHistoireEnvironnement et natureÉcritureLecture
Hello, I'm Kim and I'm a native English speaker from Birmingham, England. I'm a Cambridge Graduate with a Masters Degree in Social Anthropology. I also have Advanced Level qualifications in Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Art; a professional qualification (HNC) in Medical Laboratory Sciences; and a First Class degree in Evolutionary Anthropology. During my degree, I never received less than a First Class mark in any assignment, and I'm keen to pass on my expertise in academic reading and writing to others.Moi en tant que professeur
After graduating, I taught English in Gran Canaria for a year, then trained as a Further Education lecturer and taught Advanced Level Psychology and Biology for four years whjle also working as an examiner. I want to pass on my skills in reading, interpreting and constructing academic writings, whether you are a student, currently struggling with essays and reports, or a graduate putting together a research proposal, I can help. My degree included a diverse range of subjects, including Biology, Psychology, Philosophy, Sociology, Linguistics and Archaeology, so I can help with either essay-based subjects or scientific and statistical reports.Mes leçons et ma méthode d'enseignement
I'm offering two types of lesson:
1. Academic Study Support: Reading and Writing
2. Conversation (intermediate to advanced)
I always plan my lessons, but we don't have to stick to the plan - especially for conversation classes! Each lesson is tailored to the individual student and will depend on what you need your English for. Homework is optional, but is probably a good idea - especially if you're preparing for exams - as it will accelerate your progress. That is up to you. I will often send links to interesting articles or videos, and usually send a vocabulary list after each lesson.Mes ressources d'enseignement

Her lessons are fantastic. I have been taking her lessons for 4 years. She can teach any academic subject. I read many articles on physics and space with her this year.

I've been taking her lessons twice a week for over 3 years. Now I am learning astronomy and getting a lot of knowledge and skills in her lessons. It is really fun!

I have been taking her class for 2 years, and I have got a lot of knowledge from her lesson. When I started, my English level was poor, but I can follow classes at an online university in the UK now. Thank you!

I have taken her lesson 100 times. Before I started her lesson, my English level is not good, so I never imagined studying academic English. I am a student studying science at The Online University now. Her lesson is very useful and I am really enjoying studying English and Science both.

Kim is very patient. I have been enjoying her lesson about 10 months, and I studied about "Theory of relativity" this week. She find some good articles and videos every time, and they are very useful. She also recommend some books and textbooks for learning by myself. Thank you!
