【师资力量】Teacher Simon

   Hi, my name is Simon and I am from Birmingham, English.
     People would describe me as friendly, out-going and maybe a little crazy!My hobbies include listening to music and reading and writing novels.
     I used to work as an artist and often use my drawing skills in class as a teaching tool.Another skill I make use of id body language as I used to be an armature actor back home. Sometimes, the use of body language helps students to understand and learn new words easily. Plus the students enjoy it very much and often sat I am a great actor!
     The first time I came to china was in 2006 take part in a charity walk along the Great Wall for a week! After 3 days I suffered from very bad blisters, due to my walking boots being too fight and the walk along the wall being very difficult! I managed to finish the challenge through and the achievement is one that I will never forget.
     I joined NDI full time in July 2010. I was looking for a new career path in teaching and thought NDI was the perfect place!
     I always have fun in my classes. I really enjoy teaching at NDI. The students here are kind, friendly and keen to learn and have fun at the same time. I believe a happy student is one that will learn faster.
     My advice to all students is this: don’t be too afraid to make mistakes.
     Never stop talking,
     Be confident and have fun learning!
     Listening to English music and watching movies is also an excellent way to improve students’English.
     I enjoy working at NDI so much, and thank everyone for making me feel so welcome. I am very proud to see students improving in my classes .well done to all of you!
