Nellie

I am a qualified solicitor with a strong command of the English language, now offering tutoring in English as a foreign language. Drawing on my legal background and professional communication skills, I provide clear, structured, and engaging lessons tailored to each student's goals and proficiency level.

In addition to my legal career, I have informal experience helping family members who have recently moved to the UK, providing them with language support and cultural integration. This hands-on experience, along with my background in mentoring and tutoring, has allowed me to develop a compassionate and adaptable approach to teaching. I understand the challenges of learning a new language and offer personalized support to help students feel comfortable and motivated as they improve their skills.

My teaching style is supportive, interactive, and student-centred. I focus on practical language use, including everyday conversation, professional communication, and exam preparation. I incorporate a variety of methods such as guided conversation practice, vocabulary building, listening comprehension, and grammar exercises, as well as real-world materials like articles, legal texts, and current events to build confidence and fluency.

Whether you're aiming to improve your speaking, writing, listening, or reading skills, I create a comfortable learning environment where progress is measurable and meaningful. I am passionate about helping learners grow in confidence and competence, adapting each session to suit individual needs, learning pace, and personal interests.

The first few sessions we will focus on mapping out your desired goals and set achievable targets before moving to more substantive work. Please do get in touch should you be interested in working together
