About Me
italki teacher since Apr 13, 2022Interest topicTravelReadingWriting
I'm Jean, a native English speaker from the United Kingdom.
I have 3 teaching qualifications.
I started in the classroom in 2007, teaching English, French and Geography in Malawi, I then continued to teach English in Italy, Wales and Colombia and have been privately tutoring students online since early 2020.
In between this teaching, I graduated in International Tourism Management and subsequently owned, operated and then sold three tourism-related businesses.Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching one-to-one online since early 2020.
I can help with: pronunciation, conversation, general English, business English, IELTS preparation, reading, writing, and listening skills, academic English, and English to support your kids with their homework, grammar and useful phrases.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons start with a chat or warm-up, which allows us to communicate naturally, have a laugh, get to know each other, apply vocabulary and grammar that you already know, and also bring up and use lots of new vocabulary, phrases, grammatical elements and improve pronunciation too.
After that, we focus on a certain skill: e.g reading, writing, listening or speaking, or an area of grammar that you find challenging. To finish off, I’ll set an activity or activities for you to do outside of class to keep your momentum. In my lessons, we will use a range of activities such as exercises, realia, videos, games, flash cards, actions, sounds etc.My teaching material

Jean is an extraordinary teacher, both in terms of grammar knowledge and in terms of availability and attention. We had detailed lessons, extended exercises and useful homework to train on grammar topics (my requirement). I would definitely recommend her for your English improvement journey!
