As an accredited, qualified, and experienced English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher, I can help you with Business English, exam preparation (e.g. for the IELTS or school/university exams), grammar, writing & spelling, conversation & spoken English, and culture of English-speaking countries, including differences in English in the UK and America. Having studied a foreign language myself (German), I understand the importance of everyday language all the textbooks in the world won't teach you, including idioms, differences between formal and informal language in context, and phrasal verbs. I offer tailored language lessons to suit every goal. As a holder of a history degree, I can help you bridge the gap between books and understanding; between essay ideas and essay writing; between facts and context. Much is happening in the world, and if you look at world events and ask "how did this happen?" or "how did we get here?", then my classes are for you. I can help you understand world events and their root causes, and the importance of geography in those events. I can teach you about regional histories you weren't taught in school, yet fundamentally affect how things are today. If you need help planning your dissertation, or you want to understand international relations, the origins of countries, and why certain wars were fought, my classes are for you. I will tailor them to your interests and goals.
