Personal Information:
Throughout my teaching career, I have taught students of all ages and abilities in comprehensive schools. I am therefore a highly experienced classroom teacher with expertise in running Modern Foreign Languages departments over several years and in keeping abreast of changes in the curricula.
I try to tailor my lessons to the needs of the individual learner, whatever the level, and use a variety of methods and resources to complement my teaching. The four skills of Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening are fully addressed although I find that students tend to lack confidence in Speaking and Writing; this is where individual help and practice with a tutor can be extremely beneficial. Recently, I have tutored via Skype and Zoom and have learned to adapt materials and teaching methods to suit online tuition.
I am also a qualified teacher of English as a Foreign Language and have tutored learners up to IELTS, which is the most advanced examination for English learners.
The pandemic has meant that students have had to try to maintain their studies in challenging times. I am happy to offer revision sessions and general support to any student to help boost self-confidence and make progress.
