I am currently offering private or group English lessons for school-aged students and adults who already have some prior knowledge of English.

School-aged students:
I enjoy tailoring lessons to the individual and figuring out how to best encourage them to find enthusiasm and confidence in the subject. I think the benefit with private tuition is that, if a student is struggling, we have the time to go back to basics to build a good grounding in the subject matter so that they can confidently progress without gaps in their knowledge. In all cases, I like to keep the school curriculum as a good basis for what they need to know, but going beyond this, being creative and building an enjoyment and understanding of the subject leads to true learning.

Because each student is different, I would like to talk to you or the student themselves (if appropriate) about what they need to know and what their problems are etc. so that I can make some suggestions as to how to proceed.

Furthermore, I find that teaching in small groups of similar abilities can add a very beneficial dynamic - the students enjoy it more and we can have meaningful discussions, which I beleive really aids learning.

Adult lessons:
I offer in-depth help to those who would like to improve their professional English and obtain a more native-like style, in particular with their writing.

I was an editor of a short story magazine (Out of Print Magazine) and worked as a proofreader of academic work, often helping non-native speakers of English edit papers being prepared for publication, or helping university students with their theses or dissertations. I enjoy grammar and explaining conventions and enabling students to understand how to write in a native-type way independently.

If you have an intermediate to advanced level of English but feel you want to push your skills further, I would love to help you.

However, please bare in mind that I am a UK native so the writing conventions I use and know the best are British English.
