Information About Sally-Jayne - Walsall teacher

Personal Description:

I am a friendly, approachable, qualified teacher. Prior to training as a teacher I worked in industry for a number of years so I understand that people who wish to learn languages for business reasons will require different skills and language to children learning in school.

Teaching Experience:

I have over 10 years teaching and tuition experience, and an excellent record in improving both confidence and results. I am calm and patient and quickly build a rapport with my pupils, setting them at ease to make learning easier.
I have worked in a variety of educational establishments, such as mainstream and special schools, universities and in people' s own homes, teaching home-schooled pupils, business people and even whole families who want to learn together.
I have taught complete beginners, people with a degree in the language who feel a bit rusty and want to brush up their skills… and all stages in between.

I have worked with high-achieving children who need support to make even further progress, children who find it difficult to access the teaching they receive in class - including those with dyslexia, autism and ADHD, and adults who wish to learn for a variety of reasons, such as trainee teachers who need help passing the skills tests, and business people who need foreign language skills for visits abroad.

Teaching Approach:

I work with you to establish the reason for learning a language, whether that be for work or pleasure, and devise a suitable learning programme based on this. I teach a mix of the 4 skills (reading, writing, speaking and listening) with the focus on speaking and listening if required.
I understand that everyone learns at their own pace and so I always make sure that you are feeling happy and confident before I move on. I believe that learning a languages should be a pleasure not a chore, and I do my best to make that the case for all my students.
