My name is Amy-Abbey Wilkie and I have been a teacher for just over five years with 2 and half years online teaching experience.I have a tertiary education in Psychology, Linguistics and English Literature. I absolutely love the English language as well as teaching which makes this the perfect job for me. Within my five years of teaching experience I had the opportunity to teach students between the ages of two all the way up to sixty years of age. This allowed me to spread my teaching abilities across all different age groups.
I enjoy using an individualized communicative approach when teaching as I feel that interaction between myself and my students is vital in order to meet their specific learning needs. I always make it a goal to minimize my TTT (teacher-talking-time) and encourage my students to engage in as much free-talk as possible. This allows room for conversation skills to develop and an enhanced vocabulary to be formed. The best way to learn is ultimately through practice and enjoyment. For this reason I always incorporate as much fun and interaction into my lessons as possible.
