Nichola, англоязычный репетитор школы Skyeng

My name is Nicki. I’m from England and have a bachelors first class degree in International Business. I also have qualifications to teach English as a foreign language, and to teach Business English. With over one year teaching experience gained mostly in Hanoi, Vietnam, I have worked with a range of ages - both younger children aged 4-14 focusing on vocabulary and pronunciation, and with young adults studying for their IELTS oral exams. I also have a range of online teaching experience, working with both children and adults. I love to learn other languages. I am learning Spanish, but whenever reaching a new country I also try to absorb as many words as possible from the native language. This means I understand the feeling of learning a new language, the difficulties you may face and also know the pride you feel as you begin to witness the progress you are making! Over the past five years I have been travelling and working in different locations, giving me a great opportunity to open my mind to and experience different cultures. Continuously striving to improve, both personally and professionally, I regularly take online courses in a range of subjects, as well as taking advantage of learning from the diverse range of people I meet in my life.

In my free time I enjoy a range of activities including sports, and travelling has given me the chance to try a whole range such as surfing, scuba diving, skiing and cycle touring. I also love to explore the outdoors, to read, play the piano (when I have access to one!), to cook and to knit.

Knowing my students is very important to me and so I will begin each class with some general conversation (even if this lasts barely a minute). This helps me to - where possible - make the lesson content more relatable and is also a great opportunity for you to practise real-life speaking situations. The more actively you use language and engage with others, the more likely you are to remember what has happened (and the language you have used), therefore I have a real focus on making lessons as interactive and fun as possible. I look forward to meeting you soon and helping you on your English learning journey!
