I am an easy-going chap with a big heart and an open mind.
I have a passion for travel and have seen most of the world.
I'm fascinated by where we came from, the current state of geopolitical affairs, and of course, where we are headed in the future.
I love sports, playing musical instruments and above all, meeting new people.
Ik als leerkracht
I have the best part of 10 years experience in teaching English and love nothing more than seeing my students achieve their goals. I have become quite the expert in helping IELTS students with their speaking tests and have guided countless students towards realizing their dreams.
If it's conversation practice you are after, having travelled to over 40 countries and worked in 3 continents, I have bundles of interesting stories that I would love to share with you and more importantly, I'd love to hear about yours.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
I am very friendly but also quick to point out and address any weaknesses, in this way I have been able to fast-track students toward their IELTS goals.
In one month I am usually able to raise a student's band by at least one. For example band 6 to band 7.

I really appreciate Simon's guidance during my preparation for IELTS!! He is a very considerate, responsible and professional teacher who can quickly point out my weakness and would listen to the record after the lesson to give me detailed feedback. He taught me many useful ways to expand my answer especially for part 3. Never feel afraid of losing words and lack of ideas any more! Apart from that, he is also very open-minded, willing to accept different ideas and I really enjoy the conversation with him:)
(my original band score for speaking was only 6, but after 2 weeks' lesson I got a 7.5. I even couldn't believe my eyes when I see it...and my overall band score reached 8.0 !!!!!! really broke up with IELTS this time. god knows how excited I was...even wanted to put the result on my window for 3 days.0.0)all in all, thanks to Simon!! beeeeeeest IELTS expert ever!

Simon is a great teacher, and with his help, I successfully got a 7 in speaking. He was really patient and gave me a lot of encouragement. His feedback was also useful and skillful, leading me to a better performance.
simon老师很棒,非常耐心,平易近人,会对你的语言认真听并提出意见,用鼓励你的方式让你自信地表达。一节一小时的课,可以记满两页A4纸的笔记,包括语法例如虚拟语气,未来完成时和地道词汇和俚语等等。simon老师也会给你一些材料以便记忆,并和你分享他的经历和想法,更像一位朋友。我首考雅思口语5.5,在两周内上了一节试听课和十节正式课后达到了6.0分,满足了我申请的小分要求,很感谢simon老师的陪伴和帮助,祝他一切顺利,祝看到这个评论的你们也达到满意的分数。Simon is an excellent teacher. He is very patient, approachable, and listens carefully to your language while providing constructive feedback. He encourages you to express yourself confidently. In a one-hour class, you can fill up two A4 pages with notes, covering grammar points like the subjunctive mood, future perfect tense, as well as authentic vocabulary and slang. Simon also provides materials to aid your memory and shares his experiences and thoughts, making him more like a friend. I scored 5.5 on my first IELTS speaking test, but after taking a trial class and ten formal sessions over two weeks, I achieved a 6.0, meeting the sub-score requirement for my application. I am very grateful for Simon’s support and help. I wish him all the best.

Thank you very much for Simon's teaching. With his help, I spent six lessons and got a score of 6.5 in oral English in April this year, which broke the original 6 points. It was he who told me to pay attention to the sense of dialogue and communication. It was he who specially arranged another class for me the day before my exam. It was he who encouraged me that I could do it. I also enjoyed the chat class with Simon recently. He is a very knowledgeable person. I would really recommend Simon as the best teacher I have ever met on Italki.
