Hi my name is Vanessa
I have been helping people with their English for 3 years. I mainly teach adults or teenagers who are Intermediate level or above and want to improve their fluency, pronunciation and vocabulary.

My goal is to help students feel more confident when speaking. I believe students learn well when they feel comfortable with their teacher. We can build on previous knowledge and work on the things that are holding you back.

My lessons are very flexible. We can focus on scenarios you face in your daily life, or prepare for an interview or we can chat about your family holiday. I am interested in lots of things. We can talk about the news, about cats, the environment, or Harry Potter! I will encourage you to speak and help you if you are stuck. I will also give guidance on pronunciation, provide more vocabulary including phrasal verbs, and give alternative ways to say something that in the long run will help you sound more like a native speaker.

Background:
I have 2 grown-up sons and two cats and like to travel. I enjoy singing, reading, TV, meeting friends. I really love talking to people, so teaching English is great for me.
I have been teaching English as a Second Language on a major platform for 3 years with a high rating and lots of long-term students. I have an English (Southern) accent (modern RP).
I have a background in social care, and in the past I have worked in HR, IT database support, and most recently as a trainer.
I have a degree in psychology, HR and training qualifications.
