italki leerkracht sinds 10 Oct 2024InterestsScienceMuziekHistoryReizenFilms & TV Series
I'm an out-going ESL teacher who loves travelling, sport and cooking! I've travelled across a lot of South America, and I even lived in Puerto Escondido, Mexico for 6 months. At the moment, I'm also doing a part time course in the sciences, as I've always been interested in them and I think it'll widen my knowledge base for when I'm teaching.Ik als leerkracht
As a teacher, I like to think I'm a warm and comforting presence in a class. I really try to make students feel comfortable and confident enough to speak. I understand how hard it is learning another language, having learnt Spanish myself!Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
First of all, I think it's so important for a teacher to be flexible in what they teach, especially when it comes to 1-to-1 classes. I think I do this very well, always. gauging student's needs and making new material if needs be for them. Another core part of my lessons is grammar. A lot of teachers are scared to teach grammar, especially for advanced level students, but not me. Not only do I think it's one of the most vital parts of anyone's language education, but I also think it doesn't have to be boring or gruelling. And lastly, for me speaking is the most important part of the lesson, as well being exposed to lots of listening and different accents.Mijn lesmateriaal

Teaching experience
2024 - Huidige
TeacherI taught here full time from June until September, however I had to stop due to starting education again. I taught 1-to-1s, groups and exam classes.
2023 - 2024
TeacherI taught here full time from November 2023 until June 2024. I taught group classes, 1-to-1s and exam classes.
2023 - 2024
Freelance TeacherBeginning in April of 2023, while I was in Mexico, I started teaching online with Preply. Other than for my CELTA course, which was online, it was my first extended experience teaching for myself online. I found it very rewarding, hence why I want to return to it (but with a different company), but sadly I had to stop because juggling my full time workout Verbo and online teaching was too much.
2022 - 2023
TeacherI began teaching here. from December 2022 until May 2023, when we had to leave Mexico due to a family emergency. I would have loved to stay for longer, I loved teaching out there. I primarily taught groups of teenager and children, but I also had 1-to1s with adults.
2021 - 2022
Teacher, Admissions Coordinator, TransfersThis was my first proper position at a school after completing may CELTA because before then I had only done freelance work, often temporarily due to schools recovering from covid. I taught from December 2021 - September 2022, always with groups of teenagers or children. The director of studies offered me extra roles during the summer, which was in the sales and logistics department of the school, but I always focused on teaching the most.
2021 - 2022
Freelance TeacherHere I got my first teaching work after my CELTA as a temporary teacher. St Giles is a fantastic and very esteemed school, so I learnt so much in such a short time. I started in November 2021 and then finished my freelance work in March 2022 when I started working more at BLCI.

Werkervaring

Admissions Coordinator and Transfers CoordinatorI worked in the administration of BLCI over the summer, doing sales with admissions and logistics by myself. I had to hire and organise coaches to pick up minors from Gatwick and Heathrow airport.

Felix, thank you for our lessons! Besides the knowledge and practice itself, it is also very important to me that you create such a comfortable atmosphere during our classes. I am glad that I found such a patient, attentive and supportive teacher. Thank you!

Me ha parecido una persona muy atenta y estructurada. Me ha dado confianza. La imagen no era muy nítida pero no creo que sea problema suyo sino de la plataforma italki. no me gustó mucho que no se viera más nítida la imagen. Me ha gustado, aunque el precio es un poco alto y tengo que meditarlo. saludos

I really enjoyed the class with Felix. In my opinion he is the teacher we are all looking for on Italki. He delves into your needs, corrects you, and makes you comfortable. He is new on this platform, but you can tell he has a lot of experience. I really recommend him to everyone. I look forward to the next classes :)
