About Heather
- What kind of experience do you have?
I have several years experience of teaching ESOL in college, community and workplace venues, as well as EFL, Business English and exam preparation in college and on a 1:1 basis. In the holiday periods, I sometimes teach homestay students (teenagers and adults) who come and live in our home, whilst I teach them intensively and take them on trips.
I am used to teaching 15+ EFL/ESOL and also primary school children whose parents want them to have some individual tuition to improve their English. In the last four years, I have taught several corporate clients who have relocated to the UK from other parts of Europe and need to improve their English for business and social purposes.
- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?
I have a current DBS certificate.
- Where and with whom did you train?
Polytechnic of Wales (Bilingual Secretarial Diploma)
City of Bristol College (Cert Ed and CELTA)
EMB (Cert IBET)
- Tell me about some of your current students.
My current and recent students are:
- two Polish adults who are living and working in the UK and want English to help them communicate better with colleagues and other English native speakers
- a Spanish journalist wishing to actively use English, as she sometimes needs it for work and when travelling
- two Polish engineers trying to improve their English for work and a Masters course
- two Polish teenagers (one online and one face-to-face)
- a Russian woman who wishes to improve her spoken English and listening skills
- some Russian and Chinese students that I am teaching online, for speaking purposes and IELTS preparation
- a French woman whose family have relocated to Bristol for her husband's job
- 3 teenagers (Y11) preparing for GCSE English; 1 Y5, Y6 and 3 Y9 students.
In the last couple of years, I have worked with a Hungarian businessman preparing for the Cambridge Advanced exam (he passed) and improving his Business English for work purposes, an Italian man preparing for IELTS in order to apply for a place at university and a British man preparing for General IELTS. At the start of 2017, I was part of a team intensively teaching a German businessman who had relocated to the city and needed cultural and survival English, as well as English for work purposes. Four of my students took IELTS in spring/summer 2016 and got the scores they needed. I have recently finished working with a Spanish engineer who wanted to improve his English for meetings, presentations and reports at work, whilst on location in Bristol.

A massive thank you for all your help and support in helping me on my journey through IELTS, I could not have completed it without you.
Your belief in me gave me the confidence to pass and achieve a 7.5 overall, which I never thought I could gain.
(General IELTS)Heather is a really kind person. As I needed to study for the Ielts certificate and I had a very short time to study on my own, she prepared me to face the exam with an intensive four week plan.
I reached the level I needed to pass the exam with the score requested from the University where I was applying.
So, finally I can really advise everyone to try to be helped by Heather.Thank you for our lessons.
You are the best teacher ever!
I love our English classes.
Merry Christmas!Heather is not just an English teacher. She is able to help you not only to improve your English, but also your confidence. She is considerate and can read on your face when you need a grammar day or something more dynamic. Learning English won't be never a easy task, but she encourages you and made it easier. I really recommend her; she's the best option, above all when you have complicated schedules!
