Throughout the years I have received training in tourism, customer service, Health and Safety, quality control, complaint handling, training and management. I continue to study the English language and take great interest in different teaching methodologies and their application to the needs of different types of students. My approach is communicative. One very important key to success with English is regular speaking practice with an English native speaker. This is why having an online tutor is so helpful. We can just have conversations about anything or if you are in a course or studying on your own I can help you by reviewing topics you are working on and just talking about the English language and how it is used. During the past years I have helped many students, online and in classrooms, to achieve high band level scores in the IELTS exam. My basic philosophy is that anyone can learn to speak English naturally and easily without needing to struggle with grammar and vocabulary. Learning English can and should be fun. I focus on what you know and understand and build from there using many different types of learning materials and activities. Grammar is important but using English well and easily comes from developing a natural feeling for what is correct, not by memorizing rules and vocabulary. I encourage my students to read, listen, write and speak as much as possible. I focus on what my students need and let that guide how I teach. So if you want to improve your conversation skills or work on business writing and communication or if you need grammar to pass a test or want to prepare for job interviews, I can help you. I have lots of methods and resources to help you learn. I use online materials so we can look at these together during our session. My style is supportive, encouraging and positive. While learning English requires a lot of effort, I do my best to make it fun, interesting and rewarding.
