I have been teaching English as a second language for 27 years since gaining my TEFL certificate and have taught both adults and young learners, from false beginners to proficiency. My teaching style is very friendly and communicative, and I am conscious that learners have different learning styles, so I will always try to incorporate activities to motivate you using a variety of resources including news articles, videos, podcasts and interactive games to aid comprehension and retention of the language . My main objective is to create an open, communicative and supportive class, where you feel safe, motivated and confident.
As my classes are now on line, I will send you the material before the class starts with a few tasks to complete. For example, I might send a news article for you to read and be ready to summarise it or a video clip to watch. For those of you who want to, I may also use a course book to help give structure to the course. Generally speaking, my teaching style depends on your needs.

So, if you are interested, why not get in touch for a chat or a trial lesson.

I would like to express my deep gratitude and admiration for Donna. She is fantastic and extremely committed to teaching. From the very first lesson, I noticed her dedication to ensuring her students fully understand English. Her approach goes beyond traditional language teaching. She incorporates cultural aspects, shares professional experiences, and discusses current political topics, greatly enriching the learning experience. Thanks to these discussions, I have developed a deeper understanding of the language and its global context. Her passion for teaching is evident in every lesson. She is always available to answer questions, provides constructive feedback, and encourages her students to overcome their difficulties. Her methodology is engaging and dynamic, making learning English enjoyable. I have learned a lot from her and am very grateful for the opportunities her lessons have provided. I highly recommend her classes to anyone interested in learning English.
