I have been teaching and training teachers for many years. My career has taken me to work in a number of countries (China, Indonesia, Russia, Italy, Ecuador, Mexico, India, Sri Lanka), so I understand the problems with the English language that students from different countries have.
I can focus my teaching on the specific areas that a student is having problems with - listening, reading, writing, speaking, vocabulary, grammar - and can provide teaching materials which are appropriate for age, interests, and language level which will help develop those skills.
I believe that students learn best when they are relaxed, and I aim to provide an enjoyable learning environment. For example, the use of games to develop vocabulary.
I have 2 qualifications in teaching - one qualified me as a teacher in state schools in U.K. and the second provided me with a specialist qualification in the teaching of the English language.
Being interested in understanding more about the theories behind the learning and teaching of languages, I went on to complete a Master's in linguistics and education.
I use my qualifications and broad experience to provide students with a satisfying, enjoyable and effective learning environment, and I look forward to giving this opportunity to you.
