Native English speaker - I can help improve my student's practical speaking skills and help with learning vocabulary and grammar

Coming from a multicultural household myself, and having studied in various countries, I am well-versed when it comes to the struggles of learning a new foreign language. I studied both my Bachelor and Master degrees in politics and social science in the United Kingdom from top universities, and have received excellent feedback on my writing skills. I also having been teaching intermediate level English online since moving to South Korea and have gained new insights into what students might need and find helpful from lessons.

Studying languages at school is not easy – classes move at a fast pace, grammar and new vocabulary is thrown at us every hour and expectations of retention of all this new information is high. What I’ve often found however is little time for students to practically practice their skills and gain confidence in speaking with others. My focus for my students so far has been to work on these practical skills, providing them with new vocabulary and idioms or expressions often used in spoken language to expand their understanding and make their language sound more natural.

Having studied quite a few languages myself, I know how to be patient with students, and provide a safe and encouraging space for them to ask questions and make mistakes. It is by doing mistakes that we learn after all.
