During this time I prepared students for various Cambridge exams. I have also tutored students on a one-to-one basis in IELTS and FCE. Much of my teaching has been work and job-focussed so I have particular expertise in this area. I have tutored students in GCSE and A Level English and also worked as an assistant English teacher for GCSE and A Level in a secondary school for 1 year, where I gained excellent knowledge of the curriculum. I also have a very good knowledge of academic English and essay-writing.

Where and with whom did you train?
I trained at the Insitute of Education in London and at Oxford House College in London.
Do you have a personal message for students?
It's really important to me that I meet my students' needs, so when we first meet we will spend some time discussing your goals and the areas you want to work on. We can then work out a plan of study, which I will make sure works for you. I'm passionate about teaching English and will try to make your course of study as engaging, fun and stimulating as possible. I look forward to hearing from you!
