Sensitive to individual learning needs and speeds, I try to make English learning a practical but enjoyable experience

TEFL trained and with a degree in Modern Languages (I speak and can also teach Italian ad French), I have taught both adults and children (mostly Italian speakers) and brought them up to speed after moving to the UK. My Italian teenage students recently achieved an 8 in English Language GCSE further to my teaching them from the age of 11-13 when they first moved here. I use reading aloud, conversation as well as rigorous grammatical drilling and regular revision/testing to keep students motivated. I can also tailor to a profession, having taught trainee medics who were adjusting to life in London society as well as to their working life. I enjoy seeing students grow in confidence and starting to enjoy the language rather than seeing it as a hurdle to be overcome.
