English Tutoring For All Levels, Speaking and Writing
From 26.7 £ /h
Hello, my name is Irene and I offer English courses online to students of all ages and levels. I have been an English teacher for 18 years. I am originally from Greece, but I have completed all my studies in English (BA in English Language, Literature and Education, MA in Critical and Cultural Theory, and Ph.D. in Visual Culture) and my English skills are native-like. I also speak very good French and Greek (native).
My courses focus on the development of oral and written skills. We work on a variety of exercises, tailored for the needs and purposes of each student and I offer feedback and correction of errors, either in your spoken production or in your written assignments. I also use a wide range of texts, audio and video from original sources (literature, newspaper articles, dialogues, social media texts, documentaries, Youtube etc.), in order to make the lesson more fun and interesting, and provoke discussion and critical thinking. We work on all the skills, with an emphasis on speaking and pronunciation, so that communication in the language is enhanced.
For children, I use a combination of fun activities (e.g. stories, songs, crafts, miming, games, etc.) and from the age of 8 and above, I introduce grammar and vocabulary, first in spoken and then in written form.
