Informazioni su di me
Insegnante di italki dal 31 May 2021Argomento di interesseScienzaAmbiente e naturaTecnologiaFinanzaScrittura
My name is Duncan and I am from England. I have over 25 years experience as a tutor. I aim to be friendly, helpful, calming and organised during your lessons.
Academic, scientific and engineering English is my speciality. This demands precision, technical vocabulary and excellent grammar. I can help you raise your English to this high standard.
And as a best-selling writer I can also help with writing.
And (in case you need it) I have a structured A1-A2 syllabus (also B1-B2 and C1-C2).
I studied physics at university and gained a PhD. I became a scientist, then a teacher and then a writer. I now split my time between the three careers.Che tipo di insegnante sono
I mostly specialise in "goal oriented" learning, particularly scientific (and engineering) English for school students, university students and professionals. I can also offer writing classes (fiction and non-fiction).
I speak a relatively formal English which is an additional benefit for many students (as it is a good model for pronunciation and grammar).
Want a more informal conversation lesson instead? We can do that too.
I will always look for the simplest and clearest ways to help you to improve. I can lift you all the way to top C2-level performance.
I prepare before a lesson.
After a lesson I provide clear feedback.
We can make you a personalised learning plan.Le mie lezioni e il mio metodo di insegnamento
I have science workbooks that we can use in class. I have custom science activities and prompts. I also have a subscription to a service with 10,000s of English books to read, custom grammar exercises and hundreds of conversation prompts.
Regarding my conversational lessons, I find few students actually want a "pure conversational" lesson. Therefore I have complementary grammar, collocation and pronunciation exercises that we can mix in as we chat. Also note that in a conversation lesson I will let you do most of the speaking unless you request otherwise.Il mio materiale didattico

La scelta dell'insegnante
I practised with Duncan for a PhD interview, and it was a very good experience! He did the role I asked him to do and gave me very good advice. Highly recommended!

After 5 hours of class, Duncan was a great help in giving me confidence in English.
He was also very involved in helping me approach my future job interview.
I highly recommend it.
Again, thank you very much.

Duncan is a passionate and dedicated teacher. I highly recommend him! It was an extremely useful and pleasant learning process. The conversations were enjoyable and thought provoking. His guidance is really helpful. He will provide you with a learning document with explicit explanations and will give you lots of advice on how to improve your language skills. I love our lessons! Thank you, Duncan !
