Chris Turnbull

Hello, my name is Chris. I am a fully certified TEFL/TESOL (validation number supplied upon request) teacher with many years of experience teaching students of all abilities, from children to adults, helping them to achieve their desired goals using the methods best suited to their particular needs.

I have also worked with a wide range of students in both state schools and in private tuition over the last 12 years since graduating from university.

I have also worked throughout this period as a professional copywriter: compiling, proofreading, etc, and writing marketing articles for multiple corporate clients for their various products and services.

All students are assessed at the start of their learning and together we determine what their goals are, and how best to achieve them using a tailored learning plan that helps to motivate students and bring out their abilities.

Specialized subject areas taught:

-Conversational English

For students who want to focus on improving their conversational English skills: using the latest techniques and methods students are taught how to achieve this. From learning how to use phrases correctly to correct word order, and pronunciation, syllable stress, articles, expanding and enhancing vocabulary, etc. Using encouragement and motivation students are taught how to increase and improve their general fluency in English which will open many exciting opportunities for them.

-English Grammar & Academic Writing

Many people - including many native English speakers - struggle with English grammar: from understanding and using the correct tense structure to correct punctuation, word order, word type, phonetics, writing, spelling, articles, vocabulary, etc. Improving your understanding and use of English grammar fundamentally opens up many opportunities for students.

Many students are looking to improve their grammar to get accepted into university/college, etc - or to get a new job - where they will be required to write extensively to a high standard: using the latest teaching methods students are helped to achieve this.

-Business/Professional English

Students who work or wish to work in the corporate/business world - or progress further in it - can benefit from improving their business English: which is an essential communication skill. Through the teaching of business English specifically, students can, 'get ahead' in the business world with an extra added advantage.

I am based in London and lessons are typically conducted virtually, however, in-person teaching is also available.
