Sophie Hickman

Hello! I recently graduated in Russian and Spanish at the University of Bristol. I am extremely passionate about teaching, having completed 120+ hours of a certified TEFL qualification and units in teaching modern languages as a foreign language. I also have plenty of experience teaching young learners, having worked as a teaching assistant in a variety of schools, and having been a language mentor throughout high school and university.
I aspire to create a comfortable learning environment for my students, in which they enjoy what they learn whilst experiencing a professional quality of tutoring.

During the trial lesson I aim to discuss your main motivations and needs for learning English. This is to give you a personalised tailored experience of learning which is more engaging and fun when learning! I often use a mixture of Preply materials alongside my own handmade resources, lesson plans and homework. I also continuously annotate notes for the student to look back on after the lesson, which includes error corrections for advanced learning.

I hope you book a trial lesson with me so I can personally introduce myself and get to know your likes/dislikes and educational needs when learning English. I aim to deliver the best quality of learning for the student so will tailor or create personalised lessons for YOU!
