Creative Writing Workshops
Conscious Living and Self-Management SessionsMoi en tant que professeur
I began teaching English over 9 years ago shortly before winning an award for my dedication and enthusiasm as a volunteer teaching assistant. After that, I moved to London and became a private tutor for an education centre. I taught English Language, Literature and Drama to children (KS1 to A-Level/ages 4-18), and gained experience teaching English as a second language (ESL) to groups of adults. Now I work online across the world!
I'm TESOL certified and received a First Class Honors in my degree BA Media and Communication with Creative Writing. I am currently studying Psychology and Psychotherapy and offer various workshops and services as a Conscious Living and Self-Management Coach.Mes leçons et ma méthode d'enseignement
My teaching style is very creative and based on developing your speech through interesting discussions and pulling you out of your comfort zone. I will guide you throughout the conversation, helping you understand how to use the correct grammar, words and pronunciation, and introduce you to new vocabulary and phrases. A common technique I employ is 'Repeat after me' and 'Use this word in a sentence.'
I will adapt my pace, vocabulary and topics to fit your personality, English level, and whichever skills you wish to focus on developing.Mes ressources d'enseignement
