Information About Evan - Sunderland teacher

Personal Description:

I am an English tutor with 10 years of experience in private one to one lessons for adults and children from all over the world. I obtain a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and a master's degree in Creative Writing, both from UK universities. I provide one to one lessons in both English and Greek upon request. I can also assist with psychology and business/career related enquiries.

I focus primarily on helping individuals feel more comfortable with the speaking aspect of the targeted language. I teach using the target language as the main language of communication in order to help students start practicing the language without having to overthink things through and improve their confidence on the new language. I am always patient and very optimistic, I strongly believe positive thinking helps us not only in the greater “successful” learning of a foreign language but it also helps us achieve any goals we set in life in general.

Additionally, as a Psychologist and specifically through Positive Psychology, I help students with various methods to develop their potential, as well as to overcome fears and setbacks in order to master not only the target language but to also gain the self-confidence needed, so that they can use English/Greek comfortably at any given time.

I tailor my teaching and general support to students specifically around their individual needs, so that they can achieve their goals successfully. I use a variety of interactive methods and games that help in successful memorisation as well as the understanding of vocabulary and grammar rules - the above is also possible through flashcards, videos, storytelling and creative writing where I also obtained my master's degree.

Lastly, I can help/provide advice and support on assignments for English language /Literature and Psychology. I also provide life coaching and career coaching advice including guidance on university/job applications, interviews etc.
