Bio:
Hello, I'm Ekky from the UK, a Master's graduate in International Studies and Diplomacy from SOAS, University of London. With experience in many sectors, I bring a diverse background to my teaching. As a former IELTS examiner, I share secret tips to help you boost your score by understanding exactly what examiners look for. My approach is both engaging and fun, ensuring students learn best in a relaxed environment. Join my courses to benefit from an IELTS expert and intensive course specialist.
My teaching methodology:
My teaching background:
With 5 years of offline/online teaching experience in Latin America, Africa, and Asia, I bring a wealth of knowledge to my classes. TEFL qualified for 10 years, I specialize in teaching adults and teenagers (18+). As an IELTS expert/examiner, I focus on structure in IELTS speaking lessons, the foundation for clear communication. I offer intensive IELTS courses (1 week to 1 month) that target your weaknesses, aiming to improve your score by at least 0.5. My tailored approach has helped many students achieve their desired IELTS scores. I let my students choose their preferred learning style and adapt my lessons accordingly. My strengths lie in expanding vocabulary and idioms, providing clear meanings and example sentences. I use soft correction after speaking to avoid interruptions and ensure understanding of grammar and pronunciation errors. Join my courses for a comprehensive, student-centered learning experience with a native British speaker and world traveller.
My background outside of teaching:
Having explored over 60 countries, I am a seasoned world traveler aspiring to reach 100 destinations. Having resided in countries like Rwanda, Colombia, Ecuador, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Nepal (because of Covid), Turkey, Indonesia, Thailand, I offer a unique global perspective. As a seasoned traveller, I double as a travel coach, specializing in aiding nervous solo travellers and digital nomads embarking on their journeys. My passions extend beyond travel to include hiking, photography, football, and karaoke. With this experience, I understand the difficulties of non-native English speakers of moving to different countries and I speak in a much clearer and slower manner to help my students to improve.
