Tutoring Approach

I aim to make my students feel comfortable, confident and excited to learn. I am receptive to the needs, targets and strengths of my students and plan bespoke programmes designed to consolidate, enhance and advance all levels of English. My tailored approach allows students to thrive and reach their true potential.
I am a reliable, attentive and creative tutor; I help students to develop their skills, fill in any gaps in their knowledge and support them with English homework, exam preparation, projects, presentations and coursework.
