Bio:
I have always had an interest in languages and I studied French and Spanish at university in the UK. I qualified to become an English teacher in Málaga, Spain where I completed the Cambridge CELTA teaching English qualification. I aim to make my classes fun, engaging and interactive using a range of techniques and resources. I can understand your perspective when learning English and I want to find out what you enjoy and the areas you want to focus on to improve your level of English.
Moja metoda nauczania:
- Fun, engaging lessons in a relaxed, supportive environment.
- Classes are designed around your goals, focusing on areas you want to improve
- I like to focus lessons around your interests and topics that interest you.
- I use a mix of resources, including videos and articles.
- I believe in building a relaxed environment to give students the confidence to practice English, whether you want to use it professionally or just for fun!
Moje doświadczenie w nauczaniu:
I completed the Cambridge CELTA teaching English qualification which was an intensive course and gave me valuable experience in teaching English to local students. I took the course in Spain and taught students of varying levels which allowed me to practice teaching using different methods. The students were a real mix; some wanted to learn for their jobs and others wanted to learn for fun. I think being able to form relationships with each group was key to creating a positive, stress free environment. I primarily taught students of A2 and B2 level and taught using a range of techniques to improve on the four main areas; speaking, listening, reading and writing. I also focused on grammar and vocabulary in order to teach a bit of everything to the class as some people were better at certain aspects of English compared to others.
Moje pozanauczycielskie "ja":
I am a native English speaker from Essex, UK, a region close to London. I am British and Swiss and I am passionate about languages. I took French and Spanish at university in the UK and as part of my degree I studied in Alicante in Spain and Aix-en-Provence in France. I worked for several years for an international logistics company, focusing on international trade and imports. My French and Spanish language skills were useful! Outside of my career I am passionate about sport and travelling and love to combine the two! I have watched football and Formula 1 around Europe and I enjoy visiting new cities and regions and exploring the local culture (and going to watch football matches!). I also recently flew from the UK to Tallinn in Estonia and made my way back to the UK using only buses, passing through eight different countries, a memorable experience!
