Hi! My name is Lewis Johnson and I am from Northamptonshire England. I am currently an English teacher online, with over a years experience within a school setting. I studied Ancient History at university, which is a great passion of mine and I read a lot on the subject in my spare time. I'm an active and outgoing person and I love to socialise and make new friends. My hobbies include playing music with friends, and I am also part of a local Rugby team.
Me as a Teacher
My first teaching experience was volunteer work whilst I attended upper school. I was keen to understand the demands of teaching and also have the chance to work with new students who needed help. After my time at university I began teaching children online, which was a rich and rewarding experience. I learnt about the limitations of online teaching but also how to overcome them with dynamic lessons and lot's of enthusiasm. Since then my passion for teaching has grown, I spent an incredible year in China teaching in a primary school.
My lessons & teaching style
I always enjoy teaching English, so I make sure my students always enjoy learning English! For me, the most important role as a teacher is to identify each student's particular skillset and discover their strengths and weaknesses. Confidence is a key factor in learning a new language so the classroom should be a positive place, where we work through any difficulties we may encounter. Wether that be pronunciation, reading, writing or even grammar, we can use a students existing strengths to help understand other aspects of language learning. Finally, I believe in dynamic learning, suited to each students learning style. Lessons will include a variety of materials, designed to best suit you.

Lewis's approach to explaining how and why to rephrase certain phrases is excellent. I always learn something new from him and enjoy our chats.

Lewis is a great teacher. It's like casually chatting with a friend who cares about your English language level, gently corrects your mistakes, and introduces new words and phrases.
