Ellie Workman

My lessons are interactive, structured, and tailored to your goals as a learner.

Lesson format
- 1:1 or small-group online sessions (typically 60 minutes) with a clear objective agreed at the start.
- Each lesson follows a simple arc: quick warm-up, focused input or explanation, guided practice, with reflection.
- Materials can include short texts, case examples, role-plays, and problem-solving tasks, depending on your needs and level.

Content and dynamics
- I start by connecting the lesson to something relevant for you (your work, studies, or real-life situations) so you can immediately see the point of what we’re doing.
- You will speak and bring forth the topic or area; I guide, question, and support rather than lecture.
- We regularly pause to check understanding, correct errors in a constructive way, and adjust the pace if you need more challenge or more support.
- I use a mix of short explanations, examples, and practical tasks so you can apply new ideas straight away rather than just hearing about them.

Personalisation and feedback
-Before or during the first lesson, we clarify your goals.
- I then plan lessons around those priorities, reusing successful activities and adapting anything that doesn’t work well for you.
- You receive clear, specific feedback on what you are doing well and what to focus on next, often with a short follow-up task you can do between lessons.

My experience and teaching style
- I have experience teaching adults and young people with different goals, from professional development to general language and academic skills. During my own time in education I conducted training, mentoring and educated my fellow peers. This would involve 1:1 guided sessions while also directing them to resources. I am also able to help prioritise and create plans for students to identify key points, deadlines, areas of stress and to develop them personally and academically.

My style is calm, friendly, and structured: I want you to feel comfortable making mistakes while also knowing that each lesson moves you a step closer to your objectives.
