Hello, I'm Annette. My background is in geography and education and I have 38 years experience in Teaching, Tourism and Visitor Services. I specialise in supporting B2-C2 students develop their skills for study, travel and life!
I'm happiest outdoors - especially gardening, walking by the coast/in the countryside; but have lived in London and overseas, and love exploring towns, cities and culture locally & further afield too, including in The Netherlands and Hong Kong.
I love connecting with students worldwide from a wide range of situations.
Enthusiastic and committed, I welcome motivated and dedicated students of all backgrounds and look forward to meeting you in a Trial lesson!Me as a Teacher
🚶🏽♀ 'Language learning is a marathon not a sprint!'
I’m a highly experienced TEFL qualified online teacher and former classroom teacher. I'm friendly, flexible and patient and want you to feel relaxed and enjoy our lessons as you further develop your existing English skills and knowledge :-)
However, I'm also happy to give clarity and direction on all aspects of English including regular and positive, but honest feedback!
I like to understand why you're learning English, what your approximate current level is, and how I can best support you to cover your learning priorities.
Please book a 30 minute lesson initially, which can lead to further lessons/packages.My lessons & teaching style
Teaching and learning is a dynamic and interactive process, so I try to work in ways which support your learning best through eg
- Conversation appropriate to your level, skills and interests.
- Using material to read and discuss thoughts and opinions on.
- Providing structured support, practise and preparation for exams, interviews or presentations.
- And giving detailed, informed feedback.
Learning (& teaching!) should be interesting and fun and we'll agree plans together.
Please book a 30 minute first lesson; not 45 or 60 - thankyou :-)

It was a wonderful experience talking with Annette! We talked about my goal, and Annette gave me clear and comprehensive advice. She also corrected my mistakes and gave me lots of encouragement. I look forward to learning more from her in the future!

Es una buena profesora pero creo que tiene que hacer las clases un poco más dinámicas.
