About Me

I'm a friendly, outgoing person who enjoys meeting new people and learning different things. My interests include music, film, sport, TV, news, and current affairs. I also enjoy travel and have visited many parts of the world and learn languages myself (Russian and Spanish).

I aim to deliver productive classes; therefore, I ask students to complete a placement test so I can make sure lessons with me are appropriate for their English level. I care about my students and will provide ongoing support.

I also encourage my students to tell me what topics they're interested in and what kind of lessons they like. I use a wide range of material including textbooks, worksheets, TED talk videos and much more.

Education

As well as GCSEs and A-Levels, I also attended university. In 2010, I studied Law (LLB Hons) at Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) and graduated in 2014. I also have a Trinity CertTESOL (more details below).

Experience / Qualifications

Before becoming an English teacher, I worked in customer service and office administration, so I understand the importance of providing a good service to both new and existing customers.

In September 2019, I started the Trinity CertTESOL course and completed it in December 2019. I provided six hours of classroom teaching to adult refugees; most of the students spoke Arabic as their first language. Other units in the course included assessing a student's English level and giving them a one-to-one lesson, learning a new language as an absolute beginner (Portuguese) and critically evaluating the materials I used during my teaching.

Since February 2020, I have been teaching online. I have taught students from all areas of the world, though most of my students come from Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Italy and Spain. I teach General English, conversation practice and a course called All Things British, where I teach students about the UK.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

The objective is that: the learner masters the English language (🎧listening-comprehension,🎤 conversation, 📚 reading, grammar-pronunciation, writing...). It helps him to have language skills like native speakers. 🥇

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

Conversational Spanish is a very important part of the learning as it is the natural way to learn it. My classes are designed to help students to learn in a natural way by choosing a topic and dealing with that topic from all angles: grammar, speaking, listening and translating. That helps students to gradually absorb what they are studying. I usually conduct a relaxing lesson where students feel they can improve and learn at their own pace.
Even if you are an absolute beginner you will be able to speak some Spanish by the end of the first lesson.

A brief note: Since lessons are online, it is best to use a lapto/computer rather than a phone to enjoy the full experience.

Have a conversation like friends. Ask any question that interests you. Language learn is about constant exposure and comprehensible input. If you need help with exam preparation, that's perfectly fine. But I would suggest talking to a native speaker about topics that truly interest you. In that process, you pick up subtle cultural cues, and learns authentic expressions which are rare to find in textbooks.
