Etienne Bartholomew

I'm a naturally kind, patient and fully accredited English teacher who is dedicated to bringing a high quality learning experience. I have prepared and delivered over 3000 classes focused on grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and intonation. These classes have been adapted for all ages, my youngest student being 5 years old! This level of deep and diverse experience has allowed me to develop a teaching style which builds confidence, encourages self-correction and favours a method of leading students to their own correct answers. Incorporating your interests is also a central approach to facilitate learning.

I have worked extensively with Cambridge and Oxford teaching materials and use these and many other resources to prepare fun and engaging lessons. If you have an exam to prepare for, then my wide range of experience can help you. Students of mine have passed TOEFL, Linguaskill,
IELTS, TOEIC and Cambridge exams.

It helps to know what it is like to learn a language in order to teach one! I am a self-taught C1 level Spanish speaker so I know the tricks and challenges to learning a foreign language. My interest in a wide range of cultures contributes to a general knowledge about the world which enriches classes and provides an empathic understanding of my student's needs.

I warmly invite you to continue your English learning with me and if you have any questions or require more information then don't hesitate to get in touch.
