Advert description
I am based in Lancaster and provide in person English classes, to boost your confidence when speaking English, improve and expand your vocabulary or tweak your grammar skills. I have been working on Amazing Talker for 2 years as an English language teacher and can help with writing, speaking and reading.
I have experience teaching adults as well as children, for example, I can help with schoolwork, job interviews and cover letters.
As a writer with an MA in creative writing, I have set up creative writing training to help people find their voice.
I have extensive experience teaching English online and in person. I have taught English language skills to refugees and other immigrants on a voluntary basis, most recently in Lancaster (UK) and Amsterdam (Netherlands). I offer support for international students engaged in academic writing at the University of Lancaster. Additionally, I offer life writing workshops in person in Lancaster.
I also have extensive experience teaching at university and college level. In Utrecht, the Netherlands, I worked as a law lecturer for four years at a journalism college and more recently, from 2012 – 2018, I worked as a lecturer in investigative journalism at Wits University in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Before my CELTA graduation, during my teaching career, I gained experience teaching TEFL to disadvantaged teenagers in a Johannesburg township and burns victims who also lived in Johannesburg. The teenagers and burns victims were enrolled in a creative writing course I designed, set up and taught. English was not a primary language for these young adults, so I gained experience teaching English as a foreign language in this setting. I helped these vulnerable groups of people find their voice so they could write their life stories.
