I have been teaching English since 1985. I have lived in South Africa , New Zealand and Australia and have taught in all three countries. I am experienced in teaching English as a first language to college and high school learners. This entails all aspects of the curriculum and exam preparation. I have also taught English Communication and Business at college level. I have four years experience teaching ESOL students and preparing them for their exams. I have tutored many students of all ages whether for exam preparation, conversational English or whatever the learner’s needs may be, I aim to help. Whilst in New Zealand, where I taught ESOL / ELTS , I had students who couldn’t speak any English and within months they improved dramatically.
I am very student centred and apart from teaching English for examination purposes, I also like to encourage students to enjoy the language and its ability to help each student communicate . I try to make lessons creative and enjoyable. I have been an exam marker for the year twelve English Language and Literature papers.
