Die erste Stunde hat sehr viel Spass gemacht. Wir haben den weiteren Verlauf des Unterrichts gut besprochen. Auch generell ist Herr Harvey ein sehr angenehmer und freundlicher Gesprächspartner.
I live in Dublin, Ireland, like playing tennis, painting watercolours, reading books travelling and listening to all kinds of music.
Qualifications & Experience

Teaching Approach
I enjoy helping students to improve their English. In your first lesson we talk about your needs and I assess your level and make recommendations and plan your upcoming lessons to meet your needs. I help you overcome your challenges with simple interactions and practice. My lessons are about you the student, so it's learner centred.
I like to provide fun but challenging lessons. For example I enjoy having students read and discuss interesting news items from a variety of online sources. This presents you with lots of new vocabulary and allows us to check your pronunciation and comprehension so you learn to express your opinion more effectively and naturally in English.
