About me - English

I am 46 years old and have been teaching English for over 20 years.

I am a native speaker of English from Canada and I teach all levels of English. Conversational English, Business English, Exam levels such as FCE, CPE, IELTS. I have also worked with students who wish to do post-graduate studies in other countries. TOEFL and GMAT(verbal only). I have also worked as an Oral examiner for Cambridge and Michigan exams which has helped me adjust my teaching style in order to deal with exam challenges.

Qualifications & Experience

My Qualifications are:

- Degree in Marketing from York University, Toronto Canada

- Certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language TEFL

- Professional licensed teacher for over 15 years

- ELT Consultant to Pearson Education " Longman" (International Publisher)

- I have worked with all levels of English but specialise in Exams levels and English fluency.

- I also teach Gmat Verbal for students wishing to do a Masters in Business Administration

- I have worked as an Oral Examiner for some of the major exam bodies. (Michigan, Cambridge)

Teaching Approach

My approach to teaching is focused on the individual needs of the student. I look at your strengths and focus on the areas which need improving.

I try to make the lessons interesting and use a variety of methods, books and visual media from films, TV shows, documentaries as well as YouTube clips.

Before lessons begin I usually speak with my students to understand the level of English they are at and focus on their goals.
