English as a Second Language with a friendly, experienced and encouraging English language tutor

Van 57.38 $ /h

I’m a university graduate with a Cambridge RSA Diploma in Teaching English as a Foreign Language to Adults and have been teaching for over 30 years. I’m happy to help with all aspects of the language, from exam English to business English or for general English. I encourage and allow learners to express themselves as much as possible, while offering feedback on grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation. Seeing my learners’ language improve keeps me motivated - please feel free to get in contact!

Over

My lessons are simply based on what the learners need and enjoy. A typical lesson contains a focus on speaking and listening, with vocabulary building and a review of any new or problematic grammatical areas. I also use authentic sources of material and texts to help with reading and listening comprehension and always include time to look at issues with pronunciation, such as problem sounds or intonation.
I have a very flexible approach but at all times I make sure that there’s time for the learners to communicate and express themselves freely, as well as giving the learners personalised and focussed feedback on both positive aspects of their English and areas for improvement in the future.
After each meeting, I send learners a written record of the lesson which shows the new language that we’ve looked at and also shows examples of errors that were made, as well as a corrected version. This means that the learners don’t have to make notes during the lesson, leaving them better able to concentrate on the lesson itself. The written records also show the learners the progress they’ve made.
Above all, I try to personalise the lesson content as much as possible, making sure that the content is meaningful and memorable. What works well for one individual might not work well for someone else, so my approach to teaching always takes this into account. My lessons are designed to maximise the learners’ time so that each lesson makes a clear difference to their learning experience.

I have over 4 years of experience in teaching and tutoring English as a second language. I am currently a PhD researcher at King’s College London and run this tutoring business on the side, as I enjoy motivating students to learn new skills and overcome challenges.

I have studied English language and literature for all of my academic life and being multi-lingual (Fluent in Dutch and Sinhala), I understand how difficult it is to learn a language as a complete beginner. I am an empathetic and understanding teacher, but I also know how to push your limits and show you what you are capable of.

I will assign some, flexible homework for out of class, but most of the content will be addressed in the lesson. I am available to teach all levels of English or aid in English literature, but please message me for more information!

Hello everyone,

I am a 22 years old Belgian Female who recently moved in London in order to pursue my law studies. I completed my bachelor at the University College Maastricht in the Netherlands, and have acquired a lot of tutoring experience over the past three years. Indeed, alongside my studies, I have always dedicated some of my time to tutor French/English/Dutch lessons to people of all ages.

My lessons are taught in a way as to encourage my students to live the language they want to learn. I give considerable importance to improving one's verbal abilities, and my lessons are structured as follows:

- Warm-up games (i.e., vocabulary games).
- Verbal Skills: Debate on any topic of the student's interest.
- Writing Skills: Small essays to write at home following the debate (correction during the next class where attention shall be paid to grammar rules, etc.).
- Listening Skills: Analysis and translation of popular songs.
