About Karina
I love learning and teaching languages. I have studied French, Spanish & Chinese. And I primarily teach English, helping students to develop their spoken, academic and exam skills. I mostly teach university-age students and adults who are preparing to work, live and study in an English-speaking country. I have been preparing students for the IELTS test for the past 10 years, with a specialism in Speaking & Writing. And I try to make my lessons as fun and engaging as possible. I like to use real-life, everyday items, situations and 'hot topics' to connect with my learners and help them increase not only their confidence in the language but also to develop cultural awareness. I think the key to a good lesson is to get to know you - your background, interests, weak & strong language skills, and then base the lesson on what you are interested in, while reducing your common errors and boosting your vocabulary.

Hello, everyone! I'm a language learner who comes from China. The first time I met Karina was in a prestigious language school in Beijing. She used to my niece's tutor. Later on, she taught me and another man in the same school. To be honest, she was the most professional, experienced and supportive teacher i have ever met. (I am working in an educational institute, so i met lots of language teachers before). And she is so dynamic and passionate about teaching. During this period, I learnt a lot from her. Not only the language itself, but only the learning methods, in other word, I know a lot of methods about learning how to learn.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Karina Pearl Thorne has been an employee at the London Language Foundation for just over one year, from March 2017 to present. She works as a part-time English Teacher participating in academic activities and providing consulting services. Her responsibilities include course design and delivery of General English Speaking classes for advanced learners and IELTS exam preparation classes for adult professionals.
She is a pleasure to work with, gives her lessons on time and is strict with students, exchanging ideas with them regularly about their learning issues. She regularly attends academic meetings and exchanges teaching experience and methods with other teachers. Her communication and people skills are excellent, and she has some very innovative ideas for teaching with technology.
