I am a very experienced teacher of English as a Foreign/ Additional Language and I have taught in England and South America. My teaching experience includes private classes, business classes, exam classes (KET/ PET/ IGCSE ESL and IELTS) and mono and multi-lingual classes. I am DELTA and CELTA qualified.
I have taught English to students from all around the world and I am sympathetic to their individual learner needs. I take an interest in my students' hobbies and I make my classes relevant to them. My students' ages have ranged from 9-70.
During School Holidays I am able to teach during the day on weekdays.
I am a sports enthusiast and I enjoy playing and watching a variety of different sports. In addition to sports, I am also particularly interested in History and Politics having studied these subjects at university.
During the Covid lockdowns, I taught full time via Teams so I am comfortable with the online teaching dynamic.
I have worked in IT Sales and Marketing with high-level clients throughout England.
