Engaging English tutor
I firmly believe that teaching is a two-way process. Whether I'm in a classroom or online, I will create a dialogue so the pupils/tutees feel involved in the process and are able to question, inquire and verbalise what we are learning.

Excellent English tutor
I run online English tuition, designed to be engaging and interactive through short comprehension tasks for technical accuracy, well planned questioning to aid your analytical ability and live modelling and editing of answers to help essay writing skills. By following a model of “I do” (demonstrating as the tutor), “we do” (working together to create a best answer), “you do” (putting into practise the skill you have learned), the session content is aimed at allowing you to learn by doing and boost your progress and confidence. With over 10 years of experience, I have taught hundreds of students...
