Louise Russell

I believe in a student-centred approach to learning using motivating materials tailored to each individual student's goals. I work with students who need Academic English for college or university, Business English for work/to apply for jobs, General English from Beginner to Advanced and also students who need to prepare for tests such as OET & IELTS.

My students make rapid progress with bespoke lessons tailored to their specific interests, subject area and learning goals. Lessons are planned with clear objectives and use a variety of activities to introduce, practice and recycle grammar and vocabulary and improve listening, speaking, writing and reading skills.

I work with students at their own pace and provide constructive feedback in order to progress quickly.

I have over 10 years experience as a university EAP lecturer helping students prepare for degree level study and develop their language and academic skills whilst on their degree courses.

I have taught General English (at all levels from Beginner to Advanced) for many years.

?I also have extensive experience of teaching exam classes and helping students prepare for a variety of qualifications (including OET, IELTS, FCE, CAE, English Functional Skills and ESOL Skills for Life).

I have developed materials to help students of all levels as well as writing more focussed courses for students who require English for Specific Purposes (including Business, Nursing and Engineering).

I also have considerable experience of teacher training and development and mentoring staff and students of all levels.
