Your lessons with me would have lots of speaking - with advice and a PowerPoint file after every lesson. I think homework is very helpful and will provide written tasks as well as listening practice.
I’m a qualified English teacher with more than 20 years experience teaching international students of all abilities (from A1 to C2). I’m from Cambridge, England but I moved to Scotland after years teaching in England and other European countries.
My interests outside teaching include: running, walking, gardening and travelling. And when the weather's not so good: painting and drawing, reading, playing the flute and cooking.Me as a Teacher

I have been preparing for IELTS for nearly 6 months and finally, I passed it with overall score 7.5 (speaking 7.5 and writing 7). Jenny helped me a lot with the speaking part ,because not only do I think my vocabulary was expanded, but also she could notice all my grammar mistakes while speaking. As for the writing part, she explained me the right structure of the essays and the ways to increase complexity of sentences. Thank you!

Meeting Jenny today has been great. She's the type of person with whom you would feel comfortable speaking. She's professional, friendly, patient, and experienced. I loved that she took notes on all relevant mistakes/topics so that I could focus on practicing the language. Thank you for the lesson, and see you pretty soon!
