I have experience teaching small groups and individuals conversational English, professional English, and preparation for IELTs exams. I have also experienced living in a foreign country and learning a new language for the first time as an adult, so I understand how difficult this can be! My approach is to be adaptable to students, but always warm and patient. There will be plenty of opportunities to practice conversation and we will collaborate on choosing topics and style. The main goal of these classes will be to have fun while learning and feel confident to make mistakes and keep practising.

In our first class we will discuss your current language level, your goals, and your preferred methods of learning. Going forward, we will target areas for improvement (including grammar, pronunciation, reading, writing, and speaking). In each class we will review progress to ensure that you are improving, and discuss any specific difficulties you are facing in your learning. You are welcome to ask questions throughout the class and ask for a change of pace if required.

Online classes will follow a structure of setting goals and checking progress from the previous session. We will then move on to supported practice, including plenty of conversation and the use of audio/visual aids when necessary (via live screen sharing during the class, and sending useful resources to look at in your own time)

I have an English degree, a TEFL qualification, and an Education and Training qualification. Any questions, please get in touch! :)
