PLEASE SEND ME A PERSONAL MESSAGE TO ORGANISE A LESSON.
I'm Nick, a Professional English Language Tutor with two decades of experience behind me. I am passionate about teaching and adhere to the highest teaching standards. I find particular satisfaction in helping my students achieve their language goals, whether that's passing a specific exam, making a career change, or making progress more generally,
With Exams, Business, and Academic English teaching experience in the UK, Italy, China, Spain, and online, you can book your first lesson with complete confidence.
Besides teaching, I enjoy playing and producing music as well as mountain biking.Ik als leerkracht
I specialise in Test Preparation, Business English, and English for Academic Purposes (EAP), but also run classes with a key focus on pronunciation improvements.
I like to learn about my students' lives and ascertain their specific language needs, goals, and learning preferences, which allows my to design lessons where language fluency and accuracy are developed in unison.Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
I customise each class, providing tailored materials and designing activities and classes which address your needs and aspirations. This involves a balance of practicing, reviewing, and perfecting language systems (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, and discourse) as well as language skills (reading, writing, listening, and speaking). I also provide learner training advice (e.g. exam strategies, study strategies, motivational strategies).
To achieve all of thIs, I use a range of online tools to create a learning experience which is both exciting and motivating.Mijn lesmateriaal
