I specialize in teaching and tutoring English as a Second Language, with a speciality in teaching English to French speakers. Classes available for all levels and ages.

This class can be fully conversation-based or a mix of conversation, listening, reading and writing exercises.

I speak French, Igbo, Yoruba and some German and am equipped to give some instruction in these languages.

My classes are student-centred and I adapt the classes corresponding to the needs, expectations of each learner. This means that, if you are willing to improve your speaking skills, for instance, I provide you with specific learning methods and activities that would mainly focus on verbal communication and so on. After each class, I assign a small homework piece, always based on how busy you are during the week, as I believe repetition is key to improvement. I provide a comfortable and energetic learning environment, in which learners can express themselves confidently.

Understanding what makes a powerful and effective essay is a key part of writing and nailing those exams up ahead. My lessons will involve reviewing my student's writing and working together to find elements that need improvement. We will focus on essay planning, cohesiveness, originality, and exam technique. My sessions will not be lectures and require active participation and effort from myself and my student. If needed, I will set small amounts of homework to encourage even more progress.

During my final years in school, I was responsible for leading tutoring sessions for younger year groups, and provided one-on-one tutoring for several of my A-Level classmates. I also achieved the top mark in the world for OxfordAQA English Literature in my 2023 A-Levels.

I am an experienced and dedicated teacher who focuses on helping students reach their goals. I create a positive and supportive learning environment where students can improve their social skills, problem-solving abilities, and personal growth. I communicate clearly and always look for new ways to make learning engaging, especially through activities like speaking exercises, grammar practice, and creative writing. My goal is to make education enjoyable and inspiring for every student.

For young learners, my teaching style is fun and interactive. I use storytelling, games, and hands-on activities to keep students interested and excited about learning. I make lessons engaging with colorful visuals and creative exercises that suit their age and needs. Most importantly, I create a warm and encouraging space where children feel confident to participate, express their creativity, and develop important skills.
