I have recently graduated from a CELTA course and I'm eager to apply my skills and knowledge. I have been given a good teaching practice and can use different resources. I mainly specialise in teaching English as a secod language for young people and adults.
We will focus on building good vocabulary, understand grammar and use punctuation correctly.
My goal is to help students improve their English as I personally understand the importance of it. I assign homework on a regular basis and provide periodic progress reports.

Mathematics is a building block of all subjects. If you have strong understanding of basic Maths than you can be good in all subjects too. Physics , Chemistry Computers all are incomplete without Maths.

In my classes we do fun with learning. All examples and concepts are based on real life so that it will be easier for you to grasp it easily. Based on the topics I can demonstrate you some topics ,I also use different teaching aids during class to make it more capturable.

Welcome to my phonics class, where young learners embark on an exciting journey through the fascinating world of phonics! This tutoring class is meticulously designed to guide children through the progressive phases of phonics, from Phase 1 to Phase 5, equipping them with the essential skills needed for reading success. Led by experienced educators, this interactive class combines structured lessons with engaging activities to make learning phonics a fun and rewarding experience.

Throughout the classes, children will:

Discover the Phases of Phonics: From the foundational Phase 1, focusing on listening skills and environmental sounds, to the more advanced Phase 5, exploring alternative spellings and tricky words, students will traverse through each phase at their own pace.

Explore Diagraphs and Trigraphs: Children will delve into the world of diagraphs (two letters representing one sound) and trigraphs (three letters representing one sound), such as 'sh', 'ch', 'igh', and 'ear'. Through interactive exercises and examples, students will master these essential phonetic combinations.

Practice Blending and Segmenting: Using a variety of fun games and activities, students will hone their skills in blending sounds together to read words and segmenting words into their individual sounds.

Develop Sight Word Recognition: We'll introduce common sight words at each phase, helping students recognize them instantly to enhance reading fluency and comprehension.

Build Vocabulary: Through engaging stories and word activities, children will expand their vocabulary and deepen their understanding of language.

By the end of the classes, children will have acquired a solid foundation in phonics, empowering them to tackle new words with confidence and embark on a lifelong journey of reading and discovery.

All materials are provided. Join us on this exciting expedition through the phases of phonics and watch your child's literacy skills flourish!

I am French and studied in France before coming to the UK to finish my master’s degree. Additionally, I have a CELTA teaching certificate in English as a Second Language.
I know how difficult it is to speak a different language from your native one. Personally, I went through the process myself, so I can help you overcome any barriers. The goal is for you to learn and improve your English. I gained over 20 years of experience by teaching English to children from 6 to 18 years old and adults. More than anything, it gives me satisfaction to see my students express themselves with confidence.

Public speaking is not just for people who speak on stage but also for those who like to come across as well spoken in front of their peers.
In my session, you will learn not via text books but through activities. You’ll have fun and without knowing you’ll gain so much confidence in speaking with others that you might start training others as well.
