InterestsReizenWritingReadingHistoryFinanciën
I am Irish, currently living in beautiful Malaga, Spain. I have been teaching on Italki for over 2 years. My degree is in English.
The majority of my career has been either Teaching English or caring for elderly people/ disabled people.
I know how challenging learning a new language is because at the moment I am B2 in Spanish , and it is so hard to not make mistakes!
I enjoy hiking with my friends, having Tapas, dancing and travel.
I am also interested in social justice and engage in activism for fair health care.
I love meeting students from across the world and am knowledgeable regarding politics, current affairs and many interesting topics. I am an excellent listener.
Ik als leerkracht
I have taught English in Peru, Argentina & Spain. I also taught Creative Writing workshops in the UK & have helped older people & the learning disabled write their stories. I am very patient, astute & considerate.
I am empathic and use my empathy & intuition to help gauge how students feel and what they need, quickly. I'm mild mannered which means my classes are full of healthy communication, balance, confidence- building & variety.
I'm highly articulate, a skilled speaker , a freelance writer & avid reader. It's important to me that you enjoy my class.
I gain happiness from seeing my students having fun, feeling at ease & making progress. I have many eclectic resources for teaching too.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
My lessons are based on the skills and material I have gathered for over seven years of teaching. My teaching style is adaptable to the personality & preferences of my student, bearing in mind their confidence, age, personality & fluency. I like to be well prepared & have lesson plans, but I also like to be sometimes spontaneous and I like my classes to be fun, varied, interactive (with a balance of me talking & them talking). I like to use many types of material and keep things energetic. These include online articles, worksheets, videos, listening resources, grammar book PDFs, games, worksheets etc. I keep things relevant to interests & needs. My passion for English helps.

Keuze van de leerkracht
Thanks to Joan, I feel at ease when I try to speak English. She's kind, patient, and helpful. Even if you can't clearly explain what you want to say, she immediately understands and helps you.
