I offer online lessons, so no matter where you are, we can connect easily. The sessions are interactive and designed to be fun, where you’ll be actively engaged from start to finish. Whether it's a one-on-one or small group class, you can expect plenty of activities, challenges, and real-world examples.

We use tools like quizzes, games, videos, and live discussions to make sure you're not just absorbing information but also applying it. There’s a strong focus on conversation, problem-solving, and hands-on practice because that’s how learning sticks!

I’ve got 15 years of experience working with learners of all ages—from children to adults—and I'm passionate about tailoring my lessons to fit your specific goals. I’ve worked with individuals who have additional learning needs like ADHD, dyslexia, and autism, so I always make sure to adjust the pace, structure, and resources to what suits you best.

Functional Skills English:
This includes practical English skills that are used in real-life situations, such as:

Reading: Understanding various types of texts (articles, emails, reports) and extracting key information.
Writing: Writing clearly and effectively for different purposes—whether it's formal letters, emails, or reports.
Speaking and Listening: Improving communication skills for presentations, discussions, and everyday conversations, focusing on clarity, confidence, and understanding.
Functional Skills Maths:
I focus on essential maths skills that help you in everyday life, including:

Numbers: Understanding decimals, fractions, percentages, and working with large numbers.
Money Management: Calculating costs, budgeting, and understanding bills and taxes.
Measurements: Working with distances, weights, volumes, and time.
Data Handling: Reading and interpreting graphs, charts, and tables to solve problems.
Problem-Solving: Applying mathematical knowledge to real-world scenarios (e.g., measuring for DIY projects, managing finances).
Lesson Approach:
Both subjects focus on practical application, so I use real-world examples to ensure the skills are relevant. We’ll work on:

Tailored exercises based on your current level and goals.
Interactive activities like role-playing scenarios, mock interviews, and everyday math tasks (e.g., shopping or calculating discounts).
Regular practice and feedback to track progress and build confidence.

My teaching style is encouraging and patient, with a focus on creating a positive learning environment where you can feel comfortable to ask questions, make mistakes, and grow from them. I love incorporating technology and creative activities to keep the learning process dynamic and engaging.

So, if you’re looking for lessons that are engaging, supportive, and tailored to your unique needs, let’s get started!
