About Me

I have helped numerous people improve their spoken English and this has been mainly for professional reasons and sometimes social reasons. I don't have a fixed method, rather relying on the intended occasion to dictate what we learn and talk about. This might be too relaxed for a structured student but works well with business people and those who mix in social and work circles where good English would be advantageous. Father with two daughters aged in their early twenties.

I am an experienced and certified mathematics tutor specializing in a range of curriculums, including AS and A-Levels, IGCSE, GCSE, SATs, Edexcel, and the International Baccalaureate (IB). With a proven track record of guiding students to success in these rigorous exams, I understand the unique challenges each curriculum presents. My approach is designed to meet each student's individual needs and learning style, ensuring that they receive the tailored support necessary to excel.

Mathematics can often seem daunting, but my goal is to help students build a deep understanding of mathematical concepts. I believe that a solid foundation in the basics is crucial, and I work to ensure that students grasp fundamental principles before moving on to more complex topics. This method not only boosts their confidence but also prepares them for advanced problem-solving scenarios. I utilize a variety of teaching methods, from visual aids to interactive exercises, to cater to different learning styles and make the subject more relatable.

In my sessions, I focus on developing effective problem-solving strategies. I guide students through step-by-step processes for tackling various types of mathematical problems, helping them to analyze questions critically and approach solutions systematically. This analytical skill is invaluable, not just for exams, but for future academic pursuits and real-world applications. I encourage students to ask questions and engage in discussions, as this fosters a deeper understanding of the material.

I also recognize that exam preparation involves more than just understanding the content; it requires familiarity with the exam format and types of questions they will encounter. I provide targeted practice using past papers and mock exams, which allows students to hone their test-taking skills and time management. This practice is essential for building the resilience and confidence needed to perform well under exam conditions.

Whether you're looking for support with fundamental concepts or advanced topics, I am here to provide clear explanations and structured guidance. My lessons are designed to be engaging and interactive, ensuring that students remain motivated and focused.

Supportive and Communicative English Language Teacher

With over five years of experience, a CELTA qualification, and current DELTA training, I help learners build real-world English skills in a supportive and engaging environment. My communicative approach focuses on meaningful interaction and confidence-building. Whether you're preparing for an exam, improving workplace English, or simply aiming to speak more fluently. Every lesson is tailored to your goals and learning style, so you feel motivated, involved, and empowered to succeed.

Education should be a complete support system, not just an isolated lesson. I design learning that bridges the gaps between school, home, and independent study — giving students structure, resources, and time-planning strategies to keep them moving forward.

Lessons are tailored to individual needs, with space for questions, mistakes, and exploration. Whether it’s guiding a student through a challenging text or refining their exam technique, my goal is to make progress feel achievable and rewarding.

My English lessons are designed to be engaging, supportive, and highly interactive, giving every child the confidence to read, write, speak and listen with growing independence. I create a warm classroom atmosphere where pupils feel safe to share ideas, make mistakes, and express themselves.

Each lesson combines clear learning objectives with a balance of whole-class teaching, guided practice, and hands-on activities. Children regularly explore stories, poems, and non-fiction texts, developing their comprehension through discussion, prediction, and inference. Writing tasks encourage creativity and accuracy, with a strong focus on vocabulary building, sentence structure, punctuation, and the use of adjectives, verbs, and connectives.

Phonics and spelling strategies are woven through the lessons to strengthen decoding and encoding skills, while speaking and listening are developed through partner talk, drama, role-play, and group discussion.

Above all, my English lessons aim to nurture:
• confidence in communicating ideas
• creativity in storytelling and writing
• curiosity about language
• careful listening to others
• a love of reading that extends beyond the classroom

Every pupil is supported to move from emerging understanding to secure mastery, ensuring steady progress and a genuine enjoyment of English.

I offer friendly and engaging English tutoring and conversation lessons for children aged 4–12 in a calm, supportive learning environment.

Lessons are adapted to each child’s age, level, and personality. For younger learners, sessions include games, songs, stories, and simple conversation to build confidence naturally. For older children, lessons focus on speaking, listening, vocabulary, pronunciation, and everyday English, helping them feel more comfortable using English at school and in daily life.

I believe children learn best when they feel relaxed and encouraged. My lessons are fun, structured, and designed to help children gain confidence while developing strong language foundations.

Suitable for beginner and intermediate learners.
