Teaching English for Adults as a Second Language (for the Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced Student)

As a Primary School Teacher and graduate from the prestigious Creative Writing MA at the University of East Anglia, as well as a native British speaker with a First in English (BA) to my name, I can help you develop your English language skills (in the spoken or written form) in a variety of ways.

First of all, my lessons are always tailored individually to my students, and as such, will always focus on what you want - or need - to learn. Therefore, we may concentrate on writing in some lessons, speaking in others, or whatever it is we decide together that you could benefit from working on.

I am a friendly, warm, approachable, highly empathetic and passionate teacher, with an absolute love of learning, huge levels of experience in the field (six years working in schools, for example) and a desire to promote social change through education. If my lessons sound like something you might be interested in, and if you want to advance your levels in both written and spoken English today, please feel free to get in contact, and we can go from there!

Thank you,
James

This could be done either through discussion, written feedback, or a mixture of the two. So, if you would like to begin your creative journey today, and gain the knowledge and support of a fully qualified teacher who shares your passion for storytelling - and who has an in-depth knowledge of all the necessary facets a story must have, from plot, structure and character-building to the countless universes these stories may take place in - please feel free to get in touch, and we can get you started today!

Cambridge IGCSE/GCSE/A level/O-levels/checkpoint/SAT in English
With seven years of experience teaching English, I have had the privilege of educating students across various curricula worldwide, including Cambridge IGCSE, GCSE, A-Levels, O-Levels, Checkpoint, and SAT.

Passionate about education, I continuously explore innovative teaching methodologies to inspire and challenge my students, ensuring they reach their full potential.

English Language - Writing, Speaking, Listening Comprehension
Can learning English be fun, insightful, productive and effective at the same time? I believe so! Whatever your background or profession, deciding to learn a foreign language is a great way to add another dimension to your life and make your mind work in a new way. You become a (slightly) different person, since along with a new language, one learns to look at the world in a slightly different way. This is why my approach to teaching English is not only aimed at laying or strengthening the foundational knowledge - grammar, speaking, writing and listening skills, but also at introducing students to the culture of the English-speaking population. We will find out what English speakers find funny, what drives them to tears, what makes them feel proud and what they get embarrassed about. Open to students of all levels, my course usually is taught online, using a variety of visual aids and a wide range of material, from textbooks to YouTube videos. In teaching advanced learners, I often refer to pieces of literature such as novels and poems, since they easily spark discussions, which in turn improves the students' grasp and feel of the language. In doing so, I take students beyond ordinary textbooks and grammar books, since they are no more than guides to learning, not absolute authorities, and because to me language is a living, constantly evolving matter, which you must submerge yourself into in order to understand. In addition to my unorthodox approach, what sets me apart is a collection of unique, language-related experiences, which translate into a good ability to understand nuances of the English language. A native Russian speaker, I have lived in the UK for over 5 years, went to a Scottish boarding school and have even completed a university degree in English. Thanks to my linguistic and cultural competency, I will make sure that you are never lost in translation! Are you interested? Then contact me today!
