Teaching Experience:

I have been tutoring English (Literature and Language), ESOL and German in a range of settings for almost 10 years. My students range from primary school children to GCSE, A Level and IB students, right up to degree level and adult learners.

I have tutored freelance, in museums and cultural settings, and currently run a group creative writing workshop. I have had great success with GCSE and A-Level results, regularly achieving top grades with my students.

Teaching Approach:

I take a holistic, practical approach to teaching and use a variety of media in my lessons. Learning a language is best achieved through a variety of audio, visual, speaking and writing tasks. My lessons are creative and I value non-traditional methods, using podcasts, movie trailers, poems and articles to improve students' understanding.

I always include my students in the learning process, clarifying their aims and needs before we start the process. If a student has a particular interest or goal - for example, communicating with a partner, working in Germany or accessing German cultural forms - we can work this into our lessons.
