Teaching

Each language learner is unique. I will work with you to find out what helps you learn. I plan individual lessons to meet the specific needs of my learners.

I’m happy to teach any combination of grammar, vocabulary, writing, reading, listening and speaking (including pronunciation).

I use a wide range of materials in my lessons, including songs, podcasts, novels, ‘traditional’ grammar exercises and textbooks.

We all learn from our mistakes. I provide a safe place for you to learn from your mistakes.

Absolutely prepared

On my IELTS exam I felt absolutely prepared and wasn’t even nervous, which helped me to get the band I have never dreamed of (8.5).
