Bio:

I'm an English teacher from Liverpool. I graduated from Cambridge in 2009 and immediately started doing some private tutoring in London, Monaco and the south of France. I then completed a CELTA qualification and started to work as an English Langauge teacher. I lived and taught in Rome, Palermo and Budapest before coming back to the UK about six years ago. I then trained as a high school Literature teacher in Liverpool, and have been doing that alongside Language teaching ever since.

My teaching methodology:
I always tailor my teaching to my students' needs. If there is a specific goal (an examination that needs to be taken or a certain skill that needs to be improved) we will focus on that. If you just want to improve your vocabulary or speaking skills, then that will be our focus. But basically, there are three principles which govern my teaching: each lesson will begin with a review of our previous learning; I will always make new vocabulary or grammar simple to understand; speaking the language will be at the centre of every lesson. I am also very interested in all manner of things: foreign cultures, books, films, sport and current affairs, and where possible try to incorporate this into my teaching. So I'll often use an article or video as a stimulus for conversation. I like teaching both adults and children. I love getting to know my students and learning from them as well as teaching!
My teaching background:

I have taught all ages and levels, working in primary schools, secondary schools and private language schools, including the British Institue of Rome and International House Palermo. I have often focused on General English, but have extensive experience of preparing students for all levels of the Cambridge exams, as well as the IELTS and TOEFL exams.

My background outside of teaching:

I am a qualified and experienced English Literature teacher and have had great success when preparing students for A level exams (UK school-leaving qualifications taken at the age of 18) in English Literature and Language. I have also tutored students up to the age of 16 in History, Maths and Sciences. I've helped students get into some of the most prestigious private schools and universities in the UK. I speak decent French and Italian.
