About Me
I am an experienced teacher who enjoys interacting and getting the best out of my students. My previous and current students say the best thing about our lessons is that I am calm and very patient! If you don't understand something, I will think of different ways to explain or illustrate the point so that you can understand it and retain it.
For me, the most important thing in learning English is to enjoy it, so my lessons involve lots of speaking and practising for real life situations; using real life materials; using games and interactive methods; listening to English radio or extracts from English television or film. At my home my lessons can also include practical activities, be it making cupcakes, using English recipes and following English instructions, or involving outdoor activities. When tutoring for school work, I look for interesting ways to bring the work to life, so that the student is fully engaged and doesn't feel it is 'just more schoolwork'. Learning is fun!
