Informazioni su di me
Insegnante di italki dal 27 Sep 2019Argomento di interesseFilmAmbiente e naturaArte
I am 60 years old, I am English and I live and work in the UK. I enjoy learning languages, reading, painting and watching films.Che tipo di insegnante sono
I have been a professional teacher, teaching English in the UK since 1990. In 2002 I qualified as a teacher of English as a foreign language (TEFL) with business and I have very much enjoyed this aspect of my work since then. I often work with students who have literacy and language difficulties and in this role my teaching includes every level of the English language, from the smallest unit of sound, the phoneme, to whole texts.Le mie lezioni e il mio metodo di insegnamento
I have trained to Masters level in teaching English to students with additional needs and I am skilled in designing and delivering individualized language programmes to meet the needs and interests of my students. I encourage the use of media in my teaching, for example English films and television programmes, radio programmes, newspapers, books and magazines. For students learning for business purposes, I encourage the use of professional documents, texts and media related to their professional field. I have trained in coaching and counselling and I recognize the value of these skills in encouraging my students when the learning becomes tough and their motivation is at risk.Certificati
