Polite notice ⚠️
Please send me a message BEFORE booking lessons with me. Please read my profile in full, so you are sure that I am the right teacher for you and what you're looking for.
About me 👩
I'm a native English speaker from the UK. I'm from Wales originally, but I've lived in Manchester, England, for over a decade.
I'm a friendly, outgoing person who enjoys meeting new people and learning different things. My hobbies and interests include music, film, TV, sports, current affairs, travel and much more. I'm also a language learner and have learned German, Spanish and Russian over the years.
Before becoming an English teacher, I worked in customer service and office administration. In September 2019, I decided to have a change and do the Trinity CertTESOL. I completed it in December 2019, and since February 2020, I have been teaching online.
My lessons 👩🏫
I offer the following lessons:
1. General English
2. Chat classes (free conversation)
3. Structured conversation
I use a wide range of materials in my General English lessons, including textbooks, Ted Talk/YouTube videos, worksheets, articles, pre-class and homework assignments. I provide written feedback detailing recommendations on how to further your learning.
I use a wide range of materials in my Structured conversation lessons, including Ted Talk/YouTube videos, worksheets, articles, pre-class and homework assignments. I also provide written feedback highlighting errors and corrections, plus recommendations on how to improve your English.
I do not provide materials in my Chat classes. Corrections and feedback are provided during and at the end of class.
You must complete a placement test before we start lessons. I need to know your current English level and use appropriate materials for your level.
⚠️ I do not offer test preparation lessons. Conversation practice is NOT appropriate preparation for the speaking part of tests. Invest in yourself and book lessons with a teacher who offers test preparation lessons.
If you're looking for help using English at work, I recommend booking Business English (BE) lessons with another teacher. I do not offer BE lessons at the moment, but I hope to soon.
If you're looking for help using English in school or university, I recommend booking Academic English (AE) lessons with another teacher. ⚠️
