About me

Eight years ago I embarked on a career change and I did my Tesol Trinity course in sunny Barcelona. After completing the course I taught in Barcelona for several months before returning to the UK,where I delivered general English lessons at a local education centre,leading to delivering preparation for employment courses.
I have worked for EIA for the past five years and during that time I have taught many students of different abilities. I’ m very enthusiastic about helping each student develop their full potential and it’s a great feeling to see the development of the student after each lesson.

I believe that education is a lifelong process and currently I’m doing a mental health counselling course.

About my sessions

My sessions are very much student focused and I aim to make each lesson informative and enjoyable, I also help the student to develop their critical thinking skills and I encourage them to ask as many questions as possible no matter how trivial they may seem at the time. Clarity at an early stage makes the learning process easier later.
I realise that each student has their own preferred learning style and I incorporate speaking,reading and writing into each session,however the emphasis will be on speaking and fluency.

I do error corrections when they arise during an exercise and a more detailed feedback and error correction at the end of each exercise.
At the start of each session I will do a brief recap on the previous lesson,to ensure that there are no unresolved issues..
