Sobre mim
Professor da italki desde 4 de Feb de 2021
Tópico de interesseEscritaHistóriaLeitura
I don't teach children, I don't do test preparation, and I don't teach writing.
46-year-old British-English native speaker with 12 years' experience teaching English. I have a CELTA, and a BA/MA in English Literature (University of Durham). I did various office jobs, mostly in the finance sector, and then went to Germany and taught English there for 10 years; I moved to Italy in 2019 and taught there for 2 years, and then returned to England.
I enjoy reading (novels, poetry, philosophy, history) and watching films and long-form television shows.
Minha atuação como professor
I like to adapt my teaching style to the student. However, in general I prefer to maximise the student talking time, and to focus on fluency and relevant vocabulary. I encourage the student to develop their confidence and real-life exposure to the language, so they begin to think in English, and can finally express complex ideas in English without translating from their native language. While I am happy to explain grammar, I see grammar as merely one tool; provided the student has an A2 or higher grammatical level, fluency is arguably more important.
I don't teach children, I don't do test preparation, and I don't teach writing.
Minhas aulas e estilo de ensino
In the first class, I perform a needs analysis to learn the student's requirements and capabilities. I encourage the students to be pro-active, to suggest topics, to bring materials from work, since the lesson should be tailored for their personal needs. Online, I only teach one-on-one. I am happy to go through business presentations where necessary.

It is great to have an opportunity of language practise with a native speaker. Especially if the man is like Mathew S, gentleman and a warm person.
