Lizzie Hughes

I am qualified to teach English as a Foreign/Additional Language, as I spent two years in Spain working professionally teaching English. These were extra-curricular after school so I am familiar with teaching one-on-one with students, as well as planning exciting lessons for those students who have already spent a day learning in school to provide effective teaching.

I have also trained in the UK to teach mathematics and I have qualified teacher status through my PGDE in secondary mathematics. I have extensive classroom experience, and have recently been increasing my tutoring experience with primary, secondary, GCSE and A-Level students.

In all teaching scenarios I have tried my best to create effective learning opportunities through extensive planning and academic research, as well as building positive rapports with students to give them the confidence they need to learn effectively. My behaviour techniques have always been based around de-escalation than verbal punishments, effectively reducing anxieties in the classroom and creating a sense of mutual respect.

I am also fluent in Spanish and would be keen to gain some experience in teaching Spanish, teaching basic vocabulary and grammar with ease, as well as providing conversational classes for those students who are of a higher-level.
