Hello, I am a British citizen called Kirsty, and I am excited about our lessons. For three years, I have taught adults and children with 'Open English’, ‘EF First' and 'Whales English’. I have an MSc in Marine Biology, a 150 hour-master TEFL, and a specialised 40 hour TEFL in Business English. I can teach scientific academic subjects such as biology and ecology, and business English; exam preparation for the IELTS/TOEIC/TOFEL; grammar; reading; writing; pronunciation; and free conversation. I like to use fun hands-on exercises such as modelling; total physical response; games; classroom annotation tools; matching pictures with vocabulary; sentence starters; multiple-choice questions; and if necessary, I communicate using Google Translate with true beginners at the beginning of the syllabus until they improve.

I have taught students of all ages ranging from 2 years old to adults, to high school and university students, university lecturers, business people, corporate, and even people who are retired. I was teaching private and group classes, business English, and conversational English.
