Bio:
London-based English tutor. 2000 English lessons provided over 3 years. I am new to HeyLangu but have the experience and knowledge to help you. I offer free additional learning materials at no extra cost. We can arrange a trial lesson at a time that suits you. I truly care about your progress. Lessons are all about you and I want you to be able to go into any situation with confidence. We can set targets together and work towards your success!
My teaching methodology:
- ESA based lesson structure with flexibility to adapt for maximum enjoyment.
- Effective sessions from popular lesson plan platforms such as Linguahouse.
- Skills and systems development through engaging online activities.
My teaching background:
I have tutored English online for almost three years and in that time have taken 2000 online classes. As a certified tutor, I can guarantee improvement because I know what it takes to help. I have not only been a tutor but also a coach and guide during my sessions. I have vast experience when it comes to improving student confidence and conversation skills and also developing skills and strategies ahead of IELTS speaking exams. A large number of my current students across multiple platforms seek assistance and preparation for moving to English-speaking countries such as The UK and Canada. I take a student-centred approach, making sure all students develop a far greater understanding of English than when they started our sessions. Everything I have mentioned so far is with one eye on maximising your confidence and your talk time. I am able to adjust methods and resources depending on your needs to ensure you can use and understand the language being used in every single session.
My background outside of teaching:
My general background outside of teaching is in logistics management. I was first a shipping co-ordinator and later an assistant shipping manager for a trading company. The company is based just outside of London in the United Kingdom. I was with the company between January 2015 and April 2022. This professional experience allows me to conduct specialised business English lessons with students; highlighting vocabulary as well as cultural expectations when using English in the workplace. I have first-hand experience of being in meetings and presentations as well as KPI index performance reviews. I can therefore cover just about everything a student needs in terms of target language for a workplace environment. Now for a non-work focus ^_^ My wide-ranging interest in culture, history and geography will ensure we always have interesting subjects to look at. I can develop and conduct lessons in almost any topic due to a well-rounded knowledge of many different subjects.
