About Me

italki teacher since Oct 11, 2012

Hi everyone, I´m a professional English teacher from the UK and I spend my time between between two places I love dearly, South America and Ireland! I was born and raised in England, then when I was 15 my family moved home to Ireland. I love travelling and have lived in many parts of the world. I received a grammar school education and continued on to study at the University of Portsmouth UK, graduating with a BSc Hons in Biology. I taught myself Spanish in South America, so I am familiar with the typical barriers students can face when leaning a foreign language. I love to motivate my students and give them advice on how to get better. In 2008 I enrolled on a teacher training course in Peru and I have been teaching English ever since. I am familiar with the latest TEFL techniques and I will help you learn my language whatever your level. All you need is a little dedication and perseverance! I love my job and I mostly teach adults but also children from age 9 upwards. I have a neutral, easily understood British accent, perfect for teaching English. I have a lot of patience and I am particularly proficient in teaching English to native Spanish speakers, but it really doesn't matter where you are from. The most popular class I teach is conversation. Basic / Pre-Intermediate students may find book-based courses are easier, and I use the best literature available for this. I also teach business English and prepare students for exams (TOEFL / IELTS etc.) and job interviews...

Highly recommended speedy CAE preparation. I am a language teacher myself and I like the sessions effective approach. Work sheets, produce a particular layout to tackle each part of the Speaking Test, and thoroughly work on grammar mistakes. Also we work on the grammar structures CAE requires. I am very satisfied. Many Thanks!
