CERTIFIED TEACHER WITH 26 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE Hello! My name is Kevin, I'm 58 and come from Manchester in the UK.

I also enjoy studying dead languages. Alongside Latin and Greek, I recently started learning Old English and if anyone's interested, I'd love to teach that too. I have a CELTA qualification in teaching English to adults. I have an MA degree in French and Russian from the University of Oxford and another MA in Translation studies from the University of Portsmouth. I also have a lot of experience preparing students for the Cambridge English exams at different levels. I think that learning a language should be fun. I adapt my lesson to your needs and requests and we can discuss that in your trial lesson. **Please note that I do not teach children or those in their early teens. I only offer lessons to students aged at least 16 years old. ** I think lessons should be student-centred.

Kevin is an excellent teacher. He is very kind and patient, and his error correction is very thorough. He listened very carefully to what I wanted and needed and was very helpful and professional. I had a great lesson and I'm looking forward to booking more!
