English language for business, study, conversation or travel

From 36 £ /h

The class would begin with a needs analysis, finding out the student’s level, problems (ie grammar/pronunciation/fluency/vocabulary) and also why they need help with their English(ie for work/study/travel). The class would then start work on whichever area the student”s language needs indicate. Correction and language rules would be incorporated in practice. The great majority of the class would be student practice in whatever type of English is needed.

About Me

I have been teaching English to adults (16 and over) for over 40 years, both abroad (Turkey and China) and in England, in private language schools International House and the London School of English) and latterly I’m the Universities of Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire. The basis of my teaching is to establish a rapport with the student or students, creating a relaxed atmosphere where students can express themselves freely. Then o focus on the needs of the student - are they preparing for an exam, do they just wish to communicate effectively or do they have specific professional goals ie giving business presentations or interacting with customers in retail or tourism - the class has to focus on student needs. After that, I aim to maximise practice - ensure that students use the English they need as much as possible during a class, my role being correction and input of grammar, vocabulary etc as and when needed. Most students have learned some English at school but often learn rules rather than practising. For me, guided practice in a relaxed but focussed environment is the key to student success.

Education

I took my undergraduate degree University of Cambridge and, after 30 years of teaching, took a post-graduate degree University of London, Institute of Education

Actor of formation having lived abroad (London and Toronto), I love English and I would like everyone to know how to speak it! There is indeed a delay in France with respect to English, which is remembered is spoken worldwide and is the first language of communication! And this comes mainly from the lack of confidence in the oral. That is why with you I will work above all on the ease and the confidence but also on the pronunciation and the rhythm.

Can learning English be fun, insightful, productive and effective at the same time? I believe so!

Whatever your background or profession, deciding to learn a foreign language is a great way to add another dimension to your life and make your mind work in a new way. You become a (slightly) different person, since along with a new language, one learns to look at the world in a slightly different way. This is why my approach to teaching English is not only aimed at laying or strengthening the foundational knowledge - grammar, speaking, writing and listening skills, but also at introducing students to the culture of the English-speaking population. We will find out what English speakers find funny, what drives them to tears, what makes them feel proud and what they get embarrassed about.

Open to students of all levels, my course usually is taught online, using a variety of visual aids and a wide range of material, from textbooks to YouTube videos. In teaching advanced learners, I often refer to pieces of literature such as novels and poems, since they easily spark discussions, which in turn improves the students' grasp and feel of the language. In doing so, I take students beyond ordinary textbooks and grammar books, since they are no more than guides to learning, not absolute authorities, and because to me language is a living, constantly evolving matter, which you must submerge yourself into in order to understand.

In addition to my unorthodox approach, what sets me apart is a collection of unique, language-related experiences, which translate into a good ability to understand nuances of the English language. A native Russian speaker, I have lived in the UK for over 5 years, went to a Scottish boarding school and have even completed a university degree in English. Thanks to my linguistic and cultural competency, I will make sure that you are never lost in translation! Are you interested? Then contact me today!

As a recent graduate from a Master degree in teaching English, with 5 years of experience tutoring French children and students privately. During my two years of master, I taught English to secondary school students.
The theory and the practise, allowed me to develop my teaching skills and through tutoring I have learned to tailor my teaching methods to the student’s needs.
Moreover, throughout my years of tutoring, I could gave back the confidence that students were lacking in their education, which led to one of my students to obtain her “brevet” equivalent of the English GSCE with a high grade.
The success was hinged through the learning material that I created. Indeed, I produced my own lesson plans and I provided weekly progress homework.

My English classes and Creative Writing classes are suitable for all types of learners including children and adults. My English lessons consist of learning fundamental speaking and writing skills which you could use in everyday life, school, business and the workplace. I also have fun creative writing lessons where I teach my students the different methods and techniques that will help them stand out from other writers which they can use to effectively write their dream fiction and non-fiction stories, poetry and articles. I also teach my students how to eventually publish their finished writing.

My classes are structured in a way that benefits everyone including those with learning difficulties such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD and so on. Any special learning requirements you have my lessons will be structured in a way that fully supports you.
