Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 10 Sep 2019Interest topicHistorySportMuziek
My name is Nick and I am a native English speaker. I am currently living outside Cambridge in the UK. I’ve been teaching English for over 10 years. For some of that time, I have taught at language schools in South-East Asia, and I have experience as an English language instructor in the UK, where I have worked at colleges and universities. My main hobby is listening to different genres of music, and I also play piano and acoustic guitar. In addition to that, I enjoy playing sport, including football and tennis.Ik als leerkracht
The main areas of teaching English as a foreign language that I have specialized in are General English, Business English, English for Academic Purposes, Critical Thinking and IELTS exam Preparation. Over the last several years, I have taught on numerous pre-sessional courses for students preparing to take a BA or MA degree in UK or Australian based universities.
Over my teaching career, I have instructed students of various ages, nationalities and backgrounds and I have a lot of experience teaching learners on a one-to-one basis.
In terms of credentials, I have gained a BA in Music, an MA in Education, and the English Language teaching qualifications of CELTA and DELTA.Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
