Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 7 May 2020
Currently I live in London, UK.
I am originally from Scotland but moved to London many years ago to find work.
I started working as a designer but then after the recession worked mainly in sales positions in the real estate business.
In that job I met many people from all over the world who struggled to speak good conversational English.
I also took the time to visit Japan, Korea and the Philippines after these experiences.
Ik als leerkracht
My teaching began when I started teaching my overseas clients English pronunciation lessons because they told me they never had a chance to speak English at school with a native.
This became a weekly class in the Starbucks cafe and this is where my lesson format emerged.
I focus on helping students sound good, like a native and use methods to help their tongue and mind get around common difficulties.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
The lessons usually start with a 10-15 minute conversation of what is happening in the students life.
From that I will understand their level. I may take a news article to read together and discuss the way it is presented, written and spoken. That usually last 15-20 minutes. After that I will look at phrases and groups of words that can be pronounced together. Normally this entire lesson would be about 40-60mins depending on how the discussion goes.
I can give the student some tasks or exercises to practise before the next lesson that will help them sound better.

Ian is a fantastic teacher with a wealth of experience. His lessons are incredibly helpful and enlightening. He has identified the areas where I need to improve and has provided me with valuable exercises to practice, which have helped me to gain more confidence in my English language skills. I am very satisfied with his teaching and plan to schedule more classes with him in the future.

Ian's advice and techniques changed my speech and my text to sound like a stress-timed English from a robotic syllable-timed Japanese. Many thanks for showing me how to break down text and when to pause and stress some words.

Brilliant teacher! It's great to have a chance to speak & learn with those people as Ian
Really like the way how he expresses the language tricks, art of speaking, emotional curve and how all these tools can be used to sound as a native

I didn't notice how the lesson went and that's a good thing. Ian Clarke is an interesting person, it is a pleasure to communicate with him. We found many common topics that were interesting to talk about.
