TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have been teaching and tutoring students at both secondary and university level for over 24 years. My area of expertise is that of training candidates for the suite of exams in English for foreign learners offered by the University of Cambridge. Although I occasionally tutor young learners, my teaching practice is mainly focused on adults and young adults who are independent and proficient users of the language (CEFR B1 to C2). In addition, I have over two decades of experience tutoring trainee English teachers in areas such as English Language, Grammar, Phonetics and Literature.

MY TEACHING STYLE

Blended learning has been at the centre of my teaching practice for the last fifteen years. Therefore, my approach is largely one of facilitator and lays special emphasis on each student's learning journey and self-pacing. In other words, my lesson and course planning is tailored and regularly adjusted to meet the learner's needs according to his/her individual learning process. Since I'm extremely fond of literature, I always include extensive reading as part of the syllabus- not only to instil the love of books among my students but also to foster self-exploration and inner growth.
