Using the very best variety of the latest British Curriculum Reading/Comprehension/Writing/Listening/Spelling, online and Speaking resources matched to student ability - Lesson 1 includes assessment of current proficiency.

Personalised Lesson Plans incorporating a dynamic mix of both interactive online resources, together with practical worksheets and task-based learning activities - Making English fun to learn! Including elements of other subjects such as History, Geography, Science, Technology, Public Speaking (famous speeches), Cultural Customs/Differences etc into the lessons - Students can choose any topic they are interested in to make learning English more exciting for them. Measurable progress with marking & feedback after every lesson. I like to give students their own opportunity to use various self-chosen models of presenting their work, whether it's a Mind Map, a Timeline, a Poster, videoing themselves, or imagining they are writing a newspaper or online article voicing their opinion, or reporting on a big current news event, digitally or in written form. Allowing my students to have some level of ownership empowers them in their learning skills progress and makes for more dynamic lessons!

Flexible lesson days/times, (including Saturdays). Prepayment of single lesson(s) or, for example, a package of 6 required upfront, (any unforeseen cancelled lesson payments can be carried forward as credits). Extensive experience with EAL students of all ages & abilities.
