Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 11 Mar 2021Interest topicReizenMuziekHistory
Hi! I'm Carl, 39. I love teaching and travelling and I've been doing both for over 10 years now. I've lived in Azerbaijan, Timor-Leste, Saudi Arabia, Germany, Lebanon and Mexico and I taught professionally in all those countries, as well as at home in the UK. I've also visited over 40 countries worldwide. Currently I'm trying to improve my Spanish language skills. I love to converse about all topics, especially language, history, culture and politics. I like to keep active and enjoy hiking and cycling when I have time. I can tell you a lot about British culture and what makes British people tick! I look forward to meeting you!Ik als leerkracht
I have a wide range of teaching experience, and I enjoy teaching any level, from beginner to proficiency. I particularly enjoy explaining difficult grammar and pronunciation problems, and I love to be challenged in this area. I can help you with functional language and conversational fluency. I can also help you with the difference between different dialects and accents, and I can explain to you just why it is sometimes just so DIFFICULT to understand what native speakers are saying. I have over 10 years' experience in planning and delivering IELTS and Cambridge exam classes. I have worked for prestigious universities in both the UK and overseas. I can give you the confidence you need!Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
I have a real passion for this job - one of the reasons I have been doing it for over ten years. I believe my teaching style relies on giving the student the confidence to realise they can open the doors themselves. I strongly believe that the key to helping students is to give them the confidence, rather than just explaining how things work. I believe a strong personality and a good sense of humour is key to any lesson, and I love to have a good rapport with all my students. I love being challenged with difficult questions, and I believe that a teacher should be approachable and flexible, and willing to go the extra mile to satisfy any question asked.Mijn lesmateriaal
