Brendan Connell

I am currently starting out on a career change to become a EFL tutor, I have an 140 hrs. certificate from the and will be completing a Cambridge CELTA in early 2025. I have years of experience of working with and training young people and students, through various employments since 2000 as a music teacher, technical trainer and youth service employee.
This includes Sevenoaks School where for nearly sixteen years I looked after the drama depts tech club, which trained the pupils to be lighting, AV and sound technicians, for the schools productions. I also carried out a similar role at Mid Kent College in Gillingham.
This involvement in education has given me skills in communicating and working with pupils and teachers from around the world and from different backgrounds. And leading and assisting to a curriculum or to a required learning outcome/standard.
I enjoy assisting people to attain their goals and I carry this out in a voluntary capacity, through my volunteering on heritage railways where I lead courses on steam locomotive theory on the Kent and East Sussex Railway in Kent.
The training or teaching that I provide is tailored to the individual needs of the student and can cover basic English to technical English in the areas of performing arts and engineering.
