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.

Third class with Lewis. Very helpful. Lewis professionally stress whatever high-level words I used. He can provide improvised tests which are very great for my training of critical thinking. Looking forward to future class.

Lewis is very kind and have great patience. He speaks with modest speed and correct your expression whenever needed. Always smile and prompt reply. In fact he also provides positive encouragement towards which how one should perceive his life. Been a great confidence!!! Hope for next class.
