Information About Guy:

Personal Description:

I'm 28 years old and I am currently studying my masters in International Politics at Manchester University. I have been living overseas for the last 4 years. I have been teaching in Korea and Thailand. I have travelled extensively throughout Asia and I have lived in America for a year, so I have a great understanding of foreign cultures and how to empathise with people.

Teaching Experience:

I have been teaching English as a foreign language for almost 3 years.
I have a 120 hour TEFL International qualification from Thailand.
I have taught in 2 different language schools in Korea.
At the first school, I taught from Elementary Students to adults.
I taught from beginner to advanced with classes ranging from five to thirteen students.
We used a variety of materials from textbooks to movies and music to aid with learning. I also taught a manager of Korea Gas as he prepared to go and live overseas in Oman.
In my second school the work was similar, but as the school was new I helped devise the curriculum and decide which materials would be suitable for younger children.
I also taught for Studio Cambridge this summer in Bishop's Stortford.
We taught lessons, helped organise activities, took children on trips and looked after their pastoral care. The summer school gave me my first introduction to classes with different nationality students rather than simply mono-lingual students, so it gave me a new incite into teaching.

Tutoring Approach:

I like to think I am a laid back individual and I want the students to feel relaxed in the learning environment.
I will ask them want they want to learn inparticular and create suitable work based on their needs.
I will try to use a variety of things from worksheets, to movies, to games to try to help the students focus on their work.
I try to make the work goals achievable for both me and the student. The work should ultimately be fun and not seem like work as the best way to learn.
The key to being a good teacher is to engage the students and be enthusiastic and provide a variety of materials and classes.
