Grace

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile.

I grew up in Norfolk and lived in Brighton where I studied English Literature before moving to London to work for a Social Integration charity. For the last 6 years I have been setting up and running socially inclusive summer programmes for 15-17 year olds.

In my spare time I volunteer, teaching English to refugees. I am also a keen film fan and enjoy reading both fiction and non fiction.

I love to visit other countries so that I can get to know different cultures and languages. I have visited many countries in Europe and have also visited Indonesia, Costa Rica and Mexico. I lived in Tanzania for a short time with the International Citizen Service.

Tutoring Experience

My experience is mainly in teaching young people, although I am happy teaching adults too!

I have 1 years experience teaching English in the UK to mixed nationality groups. I have also taught 121 at the Migrant English Project, focusing on practical language for life and work. In addition to this I briefly tutored for IELTS (2 months) and have recently been working with young refugees.

I have a lot of experience in personal development as I have been managing a team of 6 for the last 2 years. I am confident in working with you to understand exactly what they wish to achieve and in setting realistic goals and milestones to mark their progress.

Tutoring Approach

Fostering individual growth and encouraging exploration, I place focus on helping people achieve their goals in learning English. Using knowledge gained through a CELTA, English teaching and 6 years of youth work I have strong, engaging and inclusive facilitation skills.

I ensure that you have a say in your lessons, both in topic and content.

I want to hear what you think of the lessons to so that I can ensure that they are the best that they can be and are tailored to your individual needs
