I have over 4 years of experience in teaching and tutoring English as a second language. I am currently a PhD researcher at King’s College London and run this tutoring business on the side, as I enjoy motivating students to learn new skills and overcome challenges.

I have studied English language and literature for all of my academic life and being multi-lingual (Fluent in Dutch and Sinhala), I understand how difficult it is to learn a language as a complete beginner. I am an empathetic and understanding teacher, but I also know how to push your limits and show you what you are capable of.

I will assign some, flexible homework for out of class, but most of the content will be addressed in the lesson. I am available to teach all levels of English or aid in English literature, but please message me for more information!

STRUCTURE OF THE LESSONS:

I build my lessons through a communicative approach maximising the use of the target language.
My lessons are usually task-based and centred around practical functions.
During each lesson, we will always work on four different skills such as speaking, listening, reading and writing, using a great variety of teaching materials reflecting real-life situations.

MY COURSES WILL AIM AT:

– Improving your listening and conversation skills
– Explaining grammar rules
– Introducing new vocabulary using specific learning methods
– Enhancing your writing, speaking and listening skills

LANGUAGE:

I have learnt English, Spanish and I am currently learning Italian and Russian, so I perfectly understand how it feels to learn a new language and the difficulties that one can come across, especially when that language isn't using the same alphabet as your mother tongue.

EXPERIENCE:

I have taught French to people from Europe, Commonwealth, Russia, Colombia, Iran, Sri Lanka, Maldives, South Africa, Syria, Lebanon, Algeria, Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong, and China, and among them, some were students, teachers, analysts, brokers, nurses, doctors, lawyers, singers, business owners, writers, actors, ambassadors, personal trainers, interior designers, architects, TV and movie producers...

I am looking forward to hearing from you :)

I am a qualified English teacher originally from Wales in the UK. I hold a CELTA as well as a Bachelor and Masters degree. I originally trained as an opera singer and I enjoy listening and playing music, watching films, baking, running and yoga. I like to bring elements of mine and my student's hobbies into the lesson because the improvements tend to be greater when everyone is enjoying themselves. I'm a reliable and kind person, and I like to help people. I have a wealth of teaching experience that ranges from roles such as Learning Support Worker to Singing Teacher and Singing Workshop Leader to English Teacher and also Head of English. I have worked with a wide age range of students and feel comfortable assisting those with extra needs. I have also been a language student myself when I was learning German and Italian. I have great empathy with the challenges of learning a language and how personal they can be. I aim to make lessons fun and tailored to the students interests and needs and I am very excited to have the opportunity to help people improve their English skills.

Early Literacy is fundamental for preparing students for primary school and beyond -- creating developmentally appropriate, structured, and fun lesson plans to support literacy can have an outsize impact in instilling a joy of learning and a sense of confidence in early readers. With a background in English Literature and teaching, I specialize in early learners and students for whom reading may feel intimidating. I will provide worksheets, activities, games, and work with parents to learn about what activities and topics are the most engaging for their student.
