Hi! I'm Valerie, a British TEFL-certified, Degree, Masters, and PhD educated tutor from England with over 20 years teaching experience. I specialise in IELTS speaking and writing, conversation practice, and kids learning, helping students all over the world reach their goals. When I'm not teaching, I love travel, food, fiction writing and nature.
Meine Kreationen
Ich als Lehrkraft
I am a friendly, approachable, and empathic IELTS, kids teacher and conversationalist. I am an excellent listener, speaker, reader, and writer. I assess my students' needs on an individual basis.
I am flexible in my teaching skills, and can work with students on all different levels, and with various needs including IELTS exam preparation, pronunciation, conversation, writing, and reading.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I have a nurturing/facilitator/psychological approach to IELTS teaching. I create a free and relaxed atmosphere that encourages my students to solve problems. As a teacher it is important: to be myself, openly express my thoughts and feelings; to show students full confidence in themselves and in their capabilities and abilities; to show empathy, that is, an understanding of the feelings and experiences of each of my students. This technique is used on a one-to-one basis because, I, as a teacher-facilitator need to interact with my students individually. My lessons are fun, informative, and educational.
