Hi, I am Bela and I am originally from Kent, England. I have a 120 hour TEFL certification and two years experience tutoring conversational English for two different online teaching companies. I have degrees in social and natural science and extensive work experience in the tourism, business and hospitality industries. I am passionate about nature and holistic wellbeing as well as current environmental and social issues. In my spare time I love learning new skills, meditating, doing yoga, giving Reiki healing, taking photographs and birdwatching. I would love to help you improve your conversational skills and can't wait to meet you wherever you are on your English Journey!
Me as a Teacher
I am a patient, engaging, attentive and compassionate tutor. I enjoy creating a relaxed and comfortable space for you to practice speaking English and encourage you to develop with guidance, corrections and vocabulary expansion. I love supporting students on their English journey and it gives me great pleasure to see people reach their personal language goals. I have experience helping students prepare for job interviews, language tests, university applications, meetings and presentations as well as generally increasing their confidence and speaking level. I understand what it's like learning a new language as I learnt Spanish later in life and I also share tips and tricks I have picked up!
My lessons & teaching style
You can expect an informal and engaging conversation that I can tailor to your specific goals and objectives. I encourage you to discuss interesting and stimulating topics from chosen newspaper articles, videos, movies and books because it is a fantastic way to learn new vocabulary and challenge your speaking skills in an enjoyable and dynamic way. I provide real time corrections and suggestions to improve your fluency as we move through the session or if you prefer feedback at the end. Most importantly I encourage you to speak as much as possible by asking interesting and relevant questions so don't worry if you feel shy about speaking, there won't be any awkward silences with me!
