I believe that everyone learns differently. Every student requires different content and teaching methods in order to get the most out of class. As a teacher, I want to provide helpful content, plenty of feedback and a comfortable teaching environment. I want you to feel comfortable making mistakes and asking questions throughout the class. This is the best way to learn!My lessons & teaching style
Quality materials ✔️
My classes utilise a wide range of resources, including custom courses and original PowerPoint presentations. Please see my video for examples. Together, we will review your progress regularly to ensure you stay on track.
Full customisation ✔️
Your unique requirements will be assessed and analysed via my specially designed needs analysis. This can be completed, before or during our first lesson, to fit around your schedule.
Feedback ✔️
I will always give you feedback. It is important not only to know that something is wrong, but to know the reason why so that you can learn and improve. In my classes, I want you to have fun but I also want to get you results.My teaching material
