Informazioni su di me
Insegnante di italki dal 5 Jun 2014

I was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland but moved to England when I was 18 years old. My first career was in finance and I worked for HSBC in London for over five years.

My hobbies?
I still love travelling and have continued to do so every year. Running is my sport and I try manage at least three half=marathons per year.
Reading, especially historical fiction, is also a very dear hobby of mine
I have been teaching English since 1999 and shortly after obtained my CELTA (Cambridge English Language Teaching Accreditation) teaching qualification. I have taught in five different countries= the UK, Spain, Hungary, Vietnam and Malaysia; presently I am living in Budapest, Hungary.
My motivation for teaching?
There are two reasons why I enjoy teaching; firstly, the feeling of satisfaction when you have helped someone pass an examination, be successful in their career, a job interview or even learn a difficult piece of grammar. Secondly; I love the English language! I love thinking about it and considering the best way to teach it.
The student is the most important person, all of my lessons suit their personality, their knowledge and their style.
I use the first lesson to find out their strengths, development areas and their personal motivati...

Paul isn't only a exceptional teacher. As Benjamin Franklin once said, “Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.”
Thank you for the lesson, I enjoyed every minute.

"But for" your help, I wouldn't have passed the last test.
'I am on the point of' trying one more time and strenghtening new idioms.
There will come the results ; ) THX
