TEACHERS

All MEC teachers have a university degree and further qualification in education or English language teaching. Whilst our teachers are mostly from Australia, some are also from other English speaking countries such as New Zealand, Canada, the United Kingdom and Ireland.

MEC endeavours to maintain a range of ages and experience in our teaching staff as well as equal numbers of male and female so that students will hear a range of spoken voices and be introduced to people from different backgrounds.

MEC teachers have experience in teaching students of all ages from all over the world. Our teachers understand the different needs, strengths, and weaknesses of students from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds. Teachers are selected to teach at MEC if they can present an interesting and useful lesson, care about the students and their progress and are friendly and helpful to the students.

INTERVIEW WITH A TEACHER
- DEBORAH

Q. Can you tell everyone a little bit about yourself?

I am married to an Italian, Gianni, and we have two beautiful children, Luca (13) and Chiara (8). I grew up in the Manly area, but have lived in Italy. I live in Fairlight and ride a bike to school.

Q. When did you start teaching English?

I started teaching when I moved to Italy in 1990.

Q. What do you like most about teaching English?

Meeting people from all over the world, helping them achieve there goals in English, and making friends.

Q. How can students learn English faster?

Listen to their favourite English songs, watch Australian shows on TV, do things you enjoy with English speaking people, write letters or emails to friends in English, and of course always come to class and listen to the teacher. Do 15 minutes of revision every evening.

Q. Can you speak any other languages?

Yes, I can speak Italian (and understand portuguese swear words).

Q. What countries have you visited and what countries would you like to visit?

I have visited England, Scotland, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Switzerland, Jordan,The USA, Hawaii, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, The Phillipines, Thailand and New Zealand. I would like to visit the rest of the world.
