Hi! I am Nicola. I am 31 years old. I am a friendly and communicative PGCE qualified English teacher (University of York) and CELTA tutor with an additional three year work experience in teaching kindergarten. I have been teaching English in multiple settings for the past 11 years. I have taught English in nurseries, kindergartens, foreign language schools to students aged 3-40 years old. I am particularly comfortable teaching young learners (3-6 years old), children, teenagers as well as preparing adults for exams, such as the IELTS. I have taught as a TEFL teacher online, in Britain in international summer schools, as well as in Greece in foreign language schools, nurseries and through private lessons. I have worked with students from all over the world on an everyday basis. I have been teaching English as a secondary school (high school) teacher in Britain for the past 3 years, preparing students for their GCSEs. I have a BA in English Language and Literature, an MA in English Literature from the University of Nottingham, a Postgraduate Diploma in Scottish Studies from the University of Edinburgh and I am currently a PhD student at the University of Sheffield. Whatever your goals are, whether you are beginner, intermediate or advanced, or whether you wish to pass an exam or simply practice your speaking skills, you can expect lots of encouragement and a supportive environment. No need to feel nervous! Each learner has different ways of learning and different needs so lessons will be personally tailored. I look forward to meeting you in lesson!
