About Me
italki teacher since Apr 16, 2022
Hi,
I'm Martin, I'm 33 years old and a native English speaker from Australia. Professionally I am an Electrical Engineer with 11+ years of experience, with 5 years of university education and a highly varied career. I continue to study engineering and IT topics part-time as professional development but now focus more on my level of French (on iTalki of course! ) to suceed in my next exam *fingers crossed*.
I currently live in Cherbourg, France and absolutely love the lifestyle here. I love talking about travel (like everyone) but specifically I enjoy cooking and enjoying the outdoors. I am a licenced skydiver and paraglider and sometimes I combine this with skiing :)
Me as a Teacher
I am relaxed and can adapt to your needs and level. I understand that some days we can seem to speak better than other days and that's okay, it happens to me too. I am happy to guide the lesson using materials you are interested in (a short video, an article etc.) or help you through an exercise you find challenging.
I am also happy to slowly inject new tools in English or vocabularly to have you sounding more natural as you tell me about your day, work, hobbies or goals for the future. If you are looking for something customised like job interview preparation or team management/leadership language please send me a private message.
My lessons & teaching style
Since moving to France with my wife who is a Professional Teacher on iTalki I have learned a lot about what learning techniques work for different people. Most of all I have learned that to keep progressing towards our ambitious long-term goals we need to enjoy the process. It's not just about the destination but the fun conversations we can have along the way :)
We do a lot of language learning and teaching in this house so please book a lesson and let's find out how to add something new to your learning journey.

I can advise Martin because he's very helpful. Speaking French, sometimes it was easier to ask some explanations.
Thank you Martin. See you soon
