Mr Ian

Profession: English Teacher
Teaching
I worked for a large international school in central Bangkok for 2 years, 7 months. My students were aged between 6 - 8 years old. My classes focused on developing spoken fluency, grammar, and writing skills - particularly story writing.

English Teacher
Teaching
I taught at an all-girls high school in central Bangkok. I worked on the ''English program'' where all classes are taught in English. My classes were split up between the 4 key skills; reading, writing, speaking and listening.

English Teacher
Teaching
I worked at an all-girls high school in Tokyo where I worked extensively with senior ''travel abroad' students, preparing them for situations they were likely to face during their year spent overseas in New Zealand.

Interests: I have taught English from kindergarten to adults from late 2013. I started my teaching adventure in South Korea and later moved to Thailand. During my time in these countries I taught age levels ranging from 3 years - 16 years old. My focus at that time was on conversational English and refining grammar skills. In 2016 I moved to Japan where I, again, taught a large range of ages, from 18 months(!) to senior adults. I also taught at a high school where I taught extensive IELTS classes as well as grammar-based English classes.

I am an easy-going and extroverted person. I love to bike and run, and I also enjoy football. My favourite football team is Southampton FC. I also enjoy writing in my free time, and am currently writing a script for a TV show (just as a hobby, not sure I'll be on TV!). I currently live in the south of England and I must say, compared to Thailand, I am quite enjoying the cooler weather.

That's all from me for now - thank you for reading!
