Me as a Teacher
I obtained my CELTA, (Certificate for English Language Teaching to Adults) issued by Cambridge English (the organisation that sets the IELTS exams in the UK) in 2014, at LAL School of English, Paignton, South Devon, UK. I am a task-orientated tutor and prefer not to waste time on off-topic conversation. In this respect, I am more suitable for committed students who want to progress and are prepared to study between lessons than to those who just want conversation practice with no concrete goal in mind. Students should be at least 16 years of age as I have limited skills and no training in teaching children.My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is simple: I first find out what my student needs and then provide it. Although I teach grammar from beginner to advanced, my most popular lessons are formal lessons on different topics which include reading, listening and speaking with writing as homework. The writing is focused on the IELTS tasks. Reschedules and cancellations more than 24 hours in advance of lesson are always accepted. Reschedules and cancellations less than 24 hours in advance of lesson are never accepted. Missed lessons are paid for.

Для меня преподаватель англичанин, знающий русский язык, гораздо полезней русского преподавателя, который «знает» английский язык. Социально-культурные различая постигаются гораздо быстрее, точнее и интереснее. Для новичков в английском это особенно полезный опыт.

It was great! It was just the trial lesson and I've so impressed with Steven's teaching style that I've booked a new package of lessons immediately.

He had been interrupting me too often during our conversation session. I felt unable to speak due to the numerous error corrections.
I think I needed more space and only after pointing out the errors could have been useful
