Personal Message: With 10 years' experience teaching EFL in the UK and in the Czech Republic, Sri Lanka and, most recently, Mozambique, I can help you achieve your goals.
Which subject(s) do you teach?: I teach all aspects of EFL, including Cambridge exams, IELTS and conversation.
Tell me about your qualifications.: I have a BA in History from the University of Exeter (1972), a CELTA (2001), an MA in TESOL (2006) and Level 5 Cambridge Certificate in Further Education Teaching and Certificate for ESOL Subject Specialists (2008).
What kind of experience do you have?: I have taught EFL for 10 years in the UK and in the Czech Republic, Sri Lanka and Mozambique. In that time, I have covered all aspects of EFL from beginner to advanced level. I have coached for the Cambridge exams, IELTS, and given general conversation lessons. I have recently retired from class teaching so that I can concentrate on 1-to-1 tutoring. Previous experience of individual teaching includes Business English in multinational companies and general English. I have also been a Cambridge Assessor for ESOL Speaking and Listening exams at all levels.

Where and with whom did you train?: International House, London. Institute of Education, London, Hammersmith and West London College.
Do you have a personal message for students?: Self-study is very important, but sometimes working with a tutor can make all the difference, not just with helping you improve your English, but also learning exam techniques and study skills.
