I'm a friendly, native English teacher who has vast experience of teaching English at all levels and all ages. I moved to South Korea in 2014 to teach in the school system there and after returning to Europe, I now live full time in France; trying to create a sustainable, environmentally friendly life, which currently focusses on my straw bale house.. I have taught online since 2011 and I love the opportunities it offers. I am also truly fond of meeting people and learning about new cultures from all over the world. In fact traveling around the word everyday is one of my favourite parts of working online; I can start my day in Japan and then jump from there to say, Argentina or Russia and everywhere in between! In terms of qualifications, I have a TEFL certificate alongside classroom-based experience in a private language school in Guangdong, China, and in the state school system in Naju, South Korea. Degree-wise, have a BA in Marketing and European Cultural Studies and an MA in Public Management. Since moving to France, I have taught students of varying abilities online with a main focus on improving their fluency and flow. Examinations have also been a theme of my teaching and I have helped students through all sorts of exams including IELTS, CAE and CPE. Writing is also an area of specialty for me; from proofreading to literature. I really enjoy helping students to improve their own English skills in a relaxed environment. Language naturally flows better if everyone involved is relaxed; this is what I strive for with my lessons, natural conversation guided by certain topics, idioms and exercises. I generally offer structured lessons/packages which also focus on language skills, not only the bare bones of English. My personal interests include; mountaineering, yoga, photography, protecting the environment, living sustainably and enjoying life. My classes generally focus on these areas, although I also love learning about new or unusual aspects of life.
