I have been a professional actor and voice over artist for over 30 years, and hold a BA in Philosophy, and an MA in Directing for Film and Television. An English speaking, native Londoner by birth, I am privately educated, with an RP accent and full understanding of generic, colloquial, conversational English. I like an informal, conversational style of tutoring, getting to know what the student wants and which areas they would like to improve on, while correcting basic syntax, grammar and pronunciation along the course of the tutoring session. Easy going and outcome focused, I am happy to cover and converse on a diverse range of topics. Student feedback is very important to me, so I like to check in regularly to make sure people taking classes me are getting where they want with their English, and seeing improvements in their preferred areas, taking care to work on a core understanding of the language and how to use it in any setting, formal or informal, educational or business, giving students a fundamental language base that they can build on in each lesson, or practice by themselves to improve faster and retain as much information as possible. I feel a good framework is essential, as well as developing and maintaining a good rapport with students, making them feel comfortable and their needs considered, as this makes a huge difference to how relaxed the sessions are, and thus, how much more easily they can learn when given a nurturing and non-judgemental environment.
