Announcements
Hi, my name is Lea and I am a 46-year-old guy from a lovely city called Gloucestershire which is in the southwest of the United Kingdom. Gloucestershire is in the heart of the Cotswolds and is famous for the crazy cheese rolling event that happens yearly. Since leaving college in 1992 I have been in the electrical business in a managerial role and have studied electronics, health and safety and human resources. In 2012, I studied English and succeeded in an English TESOL course with Global English. Since passing my course I have been experiencing teaching English online and it has been one of the most enjoyable and rewarding jobs of my career. I started teaching in the classroom in the north of Thailand and trained over 2500 students in the English program which consisted of English, Maths, Science, Geography and PE. So far I have taught English to students worldwide and I have met some passionate, friendly and intelligent students who dream of speaking fluent English. I have taken over 40,000 online classes meeting around 30,000 people. I am an enthusiastic individual who enjoys speaking to people and likes to encourage and bring the best out of everyone. I love all types of sport; love to keep fit and healthy and I love travelling and foreign food. I look forward to meeting you and encouraging you to become more confident and fluent in your English learning journey, with writing, using vocabulary, expressions and colourful English language.
Hobbies/Travel
I love football, I support Manchester United and I go to watch them when I have spare time. I like swimming and try to swim at least 2km every day. I love other sports such as rugby and like to keep fit and visit the gym. My main hobby is travelling and I have been all over the world, the only continents I haven't visited are Australia and Antarctica. in 2016, I visited Brazil for the 2016 Rio Olympics working as an English broadcaster reporting the games in English through an app back to mainland China. I lived in Thailand for eight months of the year teaching and then lived in England, and Spain, for the rest. My favourite films are Taken and Castaway. My favourite book is the Harry Potter collection.
Message from the instructor
I like to encourage students as much as possible, I am here to help and I want to get the best out of our customers. I want them to feel comfortable working with me and students must never get upset by my corrections, they are there to help, I never want to embarrass the student or make them feel they have lost confidence in carrying on learning the subject. I like to make correcting tactful. I am here to help you succeed in speaking, writing, listening and thinking in a good standard of English. I will teach you all the important things about the English language, this will include tenses, sentence order, spelling, expressions, phrasal verbs, idioms and word usage. I will teach you phrases that we use in our everyday language. This will help you communicate in English with friends, in conversations, or on the internet, or even to be successful in getting employment.

    Hello, Mr.Leabock Thank you for your attention to my message. What you said is perfectly right. The important thing is that you correct the sentences. According to your advice, I had better take an advanced course. I presume so. I think about it. I appreciate your advice and always your quick response. Best Regards, Hiroko

    Hello, Mr. leahook I really appreciate your quick response, because I can easily remember my short essay and check my mistakes. Your quick answer helps me a lot. I am not going to offend you, but you use "copy and paste" a lot. I understand that you have to send messages to many people, and are also very busy. I already have read your almost same message for two consecutive days. Just send me a short message, please. Repeatedly say I have no intention to offend you, but I felt a bit sad when I read the same message again today. Best Regards, Hiroko

    Hello, Mr.leahook Thank you for your long, and impressive comment. It is my pleasure to write short essays in English. It takes ten minutes or so to construct sentences and make my opinion quite clear. And almost every day I post my essay on this site. See you, maybe soon Best Regards, Hiroko.

    Dear leahook, Thank you for your quick feedback and heart warming message. I am really happy with your work you've done for me. Actually, I always feel anxious about my English, especially in writing, but you encouraged me to keep trying to improve my English. I made a decision to keep learning through IDIY. Sora86
