I am also a Cambridge Celta and Delta trainer and work with teachers from all over the world. I absolutely love my job! I am convinced that creativity and putting the individual learner at the centre of the learning process are essential elements in all teaching and learning contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What I most like about teaching is\u2026 <\/strong>     <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8230; connecting with people, engaging with different cultures and seeing learners\u2019 confidence and ability in English get better and better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>My best lesson<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any lesson when I see my learners engaged and motivated by what we\u2019re achieving together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong>My favourite activities <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listening to learners talk about different things, people, places and experiences which are important to them in their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong>The best thing about teaching English is\u2026        <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8230; seeing learners really learn!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>My teaching philosophy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By experimenting, we learn. We learn, therefore, by doing. By doing, we understand and become masters of what we learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hobbies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love working with people, reading good, deep novels, watching thoughtful films, and listening to good, innovative music. And I also enjoy sunshine, the sea and soccer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Qualifications: <\/strong>B.A. English, M.A. English, M.Ed. English Language Teaching, Cambridge CELTA and DELTA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Specialisation: <\/strong>Speaking fluency (conversation); pronunciation; Academic English; English for examinations (e.g. Cambridge exams, IELTS, TOEIC); teacher training and development (helping teachers to engage their learners); learning grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation at all levels in engaging and motivating ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Levels I teach:<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>I enjoy teaching all levels.
