Lets get to know each other! We can discuss your future goals, how you like to learn, and your interests. I can design a set of lessons based around you and what you need. You can ask me any questions so you feel comfortable with me as your future teacher.

I can help you to hit your target score in the IELTs English Proficiency test. We can focus on the areas that prove most difficult to you, be it speaking, listening, reading or writing.

I use a variety of different resources and techniques to help you answer part of the test eloquently and with confidence.

IELTS Test Preparation

This lesson will focus heavily on vocabulary and pronunciation. We can choose a news article or topic of your choice. I will ask you a range of questions based around this topic and help you to form well rounded opinions and arguments.

General Conversation

Following our trial lesson, we will begin to work through the Oxford Navigate text book which is best suited to your level. I will give you homework from the workbook and accompanying websites. We will study using a range of different tools including video, reading, and discussion as well as focusing on putting key grammar points into functional use in English.

English Textbook Tutoring

Following our trial lesson, I will create bespoke lessons using PDF and Powerpoint on selected grammar points, that will help strengthen your learning and actively assist your journey to becoming a confident English speaker. I will accompany these lessons with video extracts, homework and worksheets.

Bespoke English Tuition

Do you struggle with long vowel sounds? Or arent sure how and when to stress a word in a sentence?
Together, using different methods such as tounge twisters, spoken passages, repitition and shadowing techniques I can help you to improve your pronuncation of difficult words. I will listen and take note of words that you find difficult and focus each new lesson on those sounds to help you improve over time.

I have an RP british accent, which is the standardised British accent and have helped many students improve their accent and prounication through gentle, but effective methods of teaching.

Please note that I do not recommend doing these lessons for an hour and will encourage you to split these lessons into two thirty minute sessions at no extra charge. There is only an option for an hour lesson as it is mandatory when creating a lesson with Italki.

Pronunciaton Practise

This was a 120hour course including a weekend class room course to learn how to successfully teach ESL.

A short course in teaching grammar in different formats, to different kinds of learners.

A qualification in preparing students for different English proficiency exams.

My degree was based around conveying stories and information using imagery and colour over written words.

I have been an online tutor for Itutorgroup since autumn, 2018. I have attended numerous different training sessions in order to become the best teacher possible. In addition to this I have taught both children and adults of all language levels on this platform. These lessons have also been in groups and an individual basis.

During the summer of 2018 I traveled across Italy teaching in summer schools. I changed school and location every two weeks. I loved this experience. It was very varied, as every class had a different mixture of ages, and ability levels. This helps me with my work at Italki because it taught me how to research different and fun ways to teach English with very few resources.

I returned the to work for Bell Beyond for in 2019. Teaching in summer schools helped me to strengthen my skills in teaching basic learners and expressing myself using body language, realia, and other methods to help students stay engaged and gain understanding of the target language.

This work experience helps me to be a great tutor on Italki as I have a range of different kinds of students on this platform. Some are looking for quick conversation practise, whilst others are wanting to prepare for  IELTs exams. I have to adapt my teaching style for every student. I think that it is good to be diverse as an ESL tutor and this job has helped me to do that.

I work with Highschool students to help practice their English speaking, put grammar terms into functional use and prepare them for their examinations for university entry.
