Nick

Hi, my name is Nick, and I'd like to start by saying a big HELLO to all past, present and future Omeida students!

I've been teaching English for almost six years now, and I have worked in quite a few different places; Volunteer work in Kenya, middle school and college in Hainan Dao, and I am back in Yangshuo to work at Omeida for a second time. When I'm not travelling and teaching English, I have worked for EF in England, as well as teaching German students with the biggest student organisation in my home town.

I really believe education and skills are the key to any future success. I worked really hard to complete my University BA, and I completed my degree by studying 'English Grammar in Context'. Just knowing English wasn't enough for me, and I knew I also had to learn how to teach. With this in mind I completed a Trinity Cert TESOL which has given me lots of good ideas in ways I can use my English knowledge to improve your English skills.

I try to use different methods to teach, and have different types of lessons and activities each week. I like to use music in some classes, and I even enjoy teaching students to use grammar!

If I could give any student one piece of advice, I think I would say 'speak as often as possible!'. Students at Omeida are really lucky because not only do they have lots of foreign teachers, they also have lots of other students who can speak English! I think speaking English to other students is the most important way to improve speaking. This gives students a chance to practice, experiment, play with English and build up confidence!

Remember : 'Help others, help yourself'
