Sobre mim
Professor da italki desde 28 de Sep de 2018Tópico de interesseArteViagemLeitura
I am a British native speaker and moved back to the UK a few years ago after living, studying and teaching for many years in several countries.
I love travelling and teaching English. I have had a lot of experience of living abroad and understand how hard it can be to learn another language. I was born and brought up in the UK, but I have lived and been a foreign language student, in Denmark, Russia, Poland and Spain. I also lived for a long time in the USA.
I have a first class honours degree in Fine Art, love road trips, hiking and camping and enjoy sharing experiences and stories with the people I meet from all over the world.Minha atuação como professor
I am a professional, highly qualified English language teacher with both CELTA and DELTA qualifications and many years of extensive English teaching experience. I have taught a wide range of language learners of all levels and nationalities, privately, in schools and universities, in companies, summer camps and one-to-one.
I have been a Cambridge oral examiner and have taught FCE, CAE and CPE with excellent exam results. I was also an Assistant Director of Studies in Poland, where I provided support, training and observation of teachers. I have taught in-company Business English classes for CEOs and administrative staff and English for Tourism when I lived in San Diego and Barcelona.Minhas aulas e estilo de ensino
I want to help you improve your CONFIDENCE and FLUENCY. The best part of my job is seeing you achieve your goals and progress in lessons that are enjoyable and focused on your needs.
In our first lesson, we will spend time talking about your goals. We will talk about what you would like to learn and improve and why you need or want to improve your English. Then together, we will work towards those goals in lessons that are designed around your individual, specific needs.
Every student is different, so our lessons can be structured in different ways but will always contain a lot of speaking practice and will focus on both fluency and accuracy.Meu material de ensino

Reference letter - Winter Language School - 2018Please see attached reference letter stating my knowledge, ability and experience with Cambridge exams and my experience as a Cambridge examiner.
I also have multiple reviews on my Italki profile that highlight my expertise with exams - IELTS, CAE, CPE and FCE.
My DELTA course (certificate previously uploaded) also contained a module on exams.
I've taught all Cambridge exams and IELTS since 1995, so I have many, many years of experience and success with teaching these exams.

Helen is a great teacher and a very nice person! We practised speaking, job interviews, IELTS writing. I received a lot of feedback, advice and materials to improve my knowledge both as homework and in my spare time. Extremely supportive, always prepared and flexible to adjust lessons to meet different needs. It was a pleasure, and I'll definitely continue to work with Helen!

I've been preparing for CPE for more than 2 months with Helen, and I must say she is THE BEST teacher ever! She always listens to what you need and what your goal is, no faffing around! We just do the tasks I need to achieve my goal. I'm sure, if I do well in my exam, it will be thanks to my teacher! I will 100% recommend Helen to everybody! I'm dead set on preparing for IELTS with Helen!
