Interest topicHistoryReadingReizen
My name is Linda and I was born in Portsmouth. My father was in the Royal Airforce and we moved about every three years. I went to Norwich City College and trained as a secretary. I then worked for the Ministry of Defence in London as a Private Secretary.
I moved to Greece in 1980, got married and had three children. In 1993 we all moved to Germany - which is where I still live. I can speak, read and write both Greek and German fluently.
I live in Paderborn and work fulltime in a hospital in a managerial position
Ik als leerkracht
I started teaching English in 1980 when I moved to Greece. Native speakers were very much in demand. Especially for children at primary school as English was first taught in the secondary school. The Cambridge Certificate was also very prized and I also helped children prepare to take this exam in their early teens.
When I moved with my family to Germany in 1992 I was not able to work full time and so applied to the local night school. Once again, as a native speaker, I was very much sought after. I took courses ranging from elementary, to Cambridge advanced certificate together with conversation courses. I also taught courses for Inlingua - these were mainly business english.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
My teaching style is a friendly, relaxed style. I find it is most important to get the person to talk in the language they have chosen. I try and help them describe something if they do not exactly know the word they are looking for - it is all about talking. Talking about everyday things, whether it is the weather, food, work, family, holidays. I use articles from magazines, papers etc. for reading and understanding - sometimes with questions or quizzes. A lot of the material is based on either the cambridge first certificate or advanced certificate depending on how good the english level of the person is. I adjust my lessons to according to the wishes of the person.
