Hi - my name’s Jill and I live in the world’s first book town! I grew up outside London and have lived in Scotland, Bristol and the beautiful Lake District.
I taught children aged 4 - 11 in a small primary school in the Lake District for many years and I then became a Blue Badge Tourist Guide, leading tours throughout England for visitors from around the world. What a great job!
My main hobby at the moment is walking (or hiking!). The Lake District is one of the best places in the UK for hillwalking and I still visit family there - and get in a few walks! I now live in another National Park on the border between England and Wales.Me as a Teacher
When I changed careers to become a tour guide I found that I needed much the same qualities as I needed for teaching - patience, friendliness and an ability to explain things in different ways. Now I’m back to teaching again - and still patient and friendly I hope!
The main focus of the lessons is conversation as this is the best way to improve your speaking and listening ability. However, I am more than happy to help you with your written English as well if required. I can give homework if you like to have a more structured approach or the lesson can be fluid and flexible.My lessons & teaching style
I hope you would find my lessons relaxed, friendly and easy-going. It’s a conversation class and after a couple of lessons I hope you would feel like you are chatting to a trusted friend.
We all learn best when we feel comfortable and relaxed with the person who is teaching us - free to make mistakes without fear.
Every lesson is as unique as you are. There is no set pattern and it depends entirely on what you want to get out of the lesson. Over time your requirements may change and the lessons will develop as you do.My teaching material
