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.

    Dear leahook, Thank you for your advice. I enjoyed it because it's concise and accurate. I have finished reviewing my essays​. It took long time because I changed my job and was busy. It's getting hot, so take care of yourself. Regards, Naka

    Dear Mr. leahook, Thank you for your correction and explanation. Although I wrote "I never over eat" in this assignment, to be honest, I sometimes eat too much. I totally agree with you that "Whenever I feel down, sad, stressed or upset then this is the time I give up and eat unhealthy food." I like this phrase:) I will try next assignment and send you. Best Wishes, Yoko

    51歳で英作文を勉強し始めたのだがほとんど効果がない。書き終えて提出しても3週間位するとほとんど頭の中に残らない。 ただIDIY様に英作文を見てもらう前に名詞の単数形、複数形、冠詞の有無の使い分けが80%位しか自信が無かったのが5分や10分考え込んだり参考書を調べれば93%位は確信が持てるようになった。 また何もしないともっと英作文がひどくなってしまうと思われのでこれからも細く長く学んでいきたい。

    Hello leahook, Thank you for the comments. I'm afraid I mistakenly used a Japanese-English word: "Major leaguer".
