Jon Dellar

I've worked in this and related fields for my entire career and pride myself on being flexible and approachable. Having lived overseas, I know exactly what it's like to juggle being "a foreigner" with trying to learn a second language.

If you need to improve your English, want to progress with the language or are engaged in further or higher education courses that require a certain level of English, then I can help. My approach is highly adaptable and I'm happy to find a way of working that suits your needs.

I've worked in languages for over thirty years, initially as a translator from the Scandinavian languages to English and then as an editor of English for non-native speakers' Masters and PhD theses. In that time, I've gathered a wealth of experience that can help you.

After graduation, I was a supply teacher for about 18 months in some very challenging UK primary and secondary schools. Thus, I have well-rounded experience planning and delivering lessons and making them relevant and beneficial to the students.

On a personal note, both my children are dyslexic, so I can empathise with and help those who need to make progress with their English but find writing and spelling tricky,

I've also taught English, one-to-one and in groups to non-native speakers wanting to improve their English. Furthermore, I've given private lessons and adult education classes in Norwegian.

Drop me a line and we'll work out a plan to suit your needs. I look forward to working with you to get your English proficiency where it needs to be.
