Bio:

TEFL Qualified, I have taught privately to Italian students, and have taught Yazidi refugees of all ages as well as immigrant and refugee woman in the UK. I concentrate on shaping my classes around what you want to learn and improve. I like using immersive methods and newspapers, radio clips and songs to teach English. It's important to keep things fun.

My teaching methodology:

My teaching background:

I taught English in an outdoor classroom to refugees for 5 months, teaching men, women and children from 8-60. Some spoke good English and some were illiterate, so I don't judge on ability. I have also privately tutored au pairs in Scotland and was asked to run classes for immigrant women.

My background outside of teaching:

I am a recent University graduate who has grown up in Scotland and Ireland. I have lived abroad in Paris and Greece, and love learning languages. I especially enjoy exchanges where I can discover new cultures and learn from others. I am friendly and like to meet people from all over the world.
