My lessons are usually quite interactive, with students working collaboratively with me through Google Classroom and Google Meet. I also include short video clips, quizzes, games and tasks to bring the lesson to life.

Sessions all follow a similar structure. This would include: finding out what students already know, introducing new information, practising new techniques or language, testing the new information or techniques and reinforcement. However, some lessons might need adjusting to suit the student or the circumstance, as I think that it is better to tackle any misunderstandings, or iron out any difficulties as they arise.

I believe in getting students to think critically about their work and what they read, so discussions are important to check understanding and to feed the student's curiosity. Everyone learns differently, so when teaching I aim to adapt the lesson to the student. For me, tutoring is different to teaching in a class, as I am filling in the spaces of missing knowledge and feeding a passion for the subject rather than just ticking boxes.

For students learning English as a foreign or second language, I will include a variety of activities to boost your vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar as well as practising speaking activities for different situations, reading for meaning and writing for a purpose. My lessons for EFL range from beginner to advanced and I can prepare you for the Cambridge exams from A1 to C2. If you are not interested in taking exams, we can practise your verbal communication skills.
