I am a friendly, positive, good-humoured and patient teacher.

I am passionate about languages and love teaching my own language.

I am very experienced in teaching all exams, levels and fields and enjoy customising classes to suit individual students.

I guarantee excellent exam results for Cambridge English Exams including IELTS, as well as TOEFL and ESOL programmes.

I focus on a can-do, can-speak approach with communication at the heart of all my teaching. As a coach I can help students set personal goals for their language acquisition.

Speaking and Listening are the centre of my classes with reading, writing, exam practice, CV writing and interview or business presentation practice built in as required.

I have in-depth understanding of the challenges faced by some language speakers and the sensitivity and understanding involved in teaching refugees and asylum seekers.

In essence I will fill the students with a sense of confidence and enjoyment of learning a language.

I have a CELTA certificate, over 30 years experience and a DBS certificate.

I love meeting people from all over the world and I have travelled widely and enjoy talking on diverse topics, from current affairs to environmental issues, food, film and family!
