Cheryl Everitt

I am a CELTA qualified English teacher with three years experience working with both children and adults. My experience is within a British Council school and thus I always set high standards for my lessons, ensuring that they are structured to help you achieve your best. I absolutely adore my job and get huge satisfaction from helping others to achieve their goals. I passionately believe that learning should be fun and that every lesson should be something to look forward to.

Language learning is about communication. While this may sound obvious I strongly believe that is should be the primary focus, enabling learners to build their confidence in using language. While accuracy is important, this is a natural follow on from practice, which can only happen if one feels comfortable using the language in different forms.

Lessons are thus designed to help learners build this confidence. However, depending on your aims, the lessons will vary. They may focus on grammar or vocabulary, reading or writing or just improving your conversational English. We may play games, do role plays, have debates or read stories. We may base a lesson around a specific point of grammar, practising in different ways until it becomes second nature to you. But every lesson will have one thing in common. It will have a clear objective enabling you to feel a real sense of progress in your learning. If you think that this sounds right for you or your child then please do get in touch! I look forward to meeting you and discussing your own personal journey to becoming a more confident English speaker.
