    Private or group English lessons for adults or children

    I am currently offering private or group English lessons for school-aged students and adults who already have some prior knowledge of English.

    School-aged students:
    I enjoy tailoring lessons to the individual and figuring out how to best encourage them to find enthusiasm and confidence in the subject. I think the benefit with private tuition is that, if a student is struggling, we have the time to go back to basics to build a good grounding in the subject matter so that they can confidently progress without gaps in their knowledge. In all cases, I like to keep the school curriculum as a good basis for what they need to know, but going beyond this, being creative and building an enjoyment and understanding of the subject leads to true learning.

    Because each student is different, I would like to talk to you or the student themselves (if appropriate) about what they need to know and what their problems are etc. so that I can make some suggestions as to how to proceed.

    Furthermore, I find that teaching in small groups of similar abilities can add a very beneficial dynamic - the students enjoy it more and we can have meaningful discussions, which I beleive really aids learning.

    Adult lessons:
    I offer in-depth help to those who would like to improve their professional English and obtain a more native-like style, in particular with their writing.

    I was an editor of a short story magazine (Out of Print Magazine) and worked as a proofreader of academic work, often helping non-native speakers of English edit papers being prepared for publication, or helping university students with their theses or dissertations. I enjoy grammar and explaining conventions and enabling students to understand how to write in a native-type way independently.

    If you have an intermediate to advanced level of English but feel you want to push your skills further, I would love to help you.

    However, please bare in mind that I am a UK native so the writing conventions I use and know the best are British English.

    About Me

    I am a native English speaker who loves languages and loves teaching!

    I have mostly lived and worked in the UK, but have also lived in Sweden, the Netherlands, India and now Germany, so I know what it is like to engage with a new culture and a new language. In fact, I am in the process of learning German at the moment and speak Swedish (although not well enough to teach in this medium).

    I spent some time editing and proofreading, but found that what gives me the most satisfaction is working with people and helping them (for example when I could sit with a client and go through, in detail, how they can learn from my edits). This is why I worked in education for some time, but I also worked with people with learning disabilities outside an educational setting.

    Simply, I love seeing people progress - whether it be in knowledge, confidence or suddenly finding a subject they previously didnt like enjoyable.

    Education

    I have a BA(Hons) Linguistics from University College London and an MRes Social Work from the University of Edinburgh.

    I have approximately 3 years cumulative experience of teaching and tutoring privately and in schools.

    Experience / Qualifications

    * Editorial experience: Previous Editor of Out of Print Magazine where I judged submissions for the regular issues, but also the competitions we ran in conjuction with a newspaper (Daily News Analysis) and edited the selected stories.

    * Academic English: I am proofreader of academic work, helping non-native (and sometimes native) speakers of English edit their professional or university work.

    * Teaching in schools: I have worked in schools and privately back in the UK, mainly teaching English (but also Maths and Science) to both primary and pre-university students. In schools I have delivered targeted English interventions of my own design to classes and worked actively with the school to give struggling students extra support.

    *Private tuition: I have delivered tuition in English, Maths, Science and Public Speaking in small classes and one-to-one sessions. I always work with the student's school material and follow their curriculum, but also stretching the content of the lessons beyond this to encourage independent learning, and an active interest and enthusiasm for the subject matter. Furthermore, some of my students have had English as a second language.

    *Special educational needs students: Some of my past students have had learning disabilities and/or behavioural problems, or have had very low levels of literacy (through teaching in specialist schools).

    Kevin
    Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching.
    I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Memorise the timetable. 2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods. Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude. I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life. What will not be covered in the course: learning lists of verbs; learning lists of nouns with articles; learning words with their translations; flashcards; doing school exercises; following the syllabus of a booklet; imposing the English grammar on the German language. What is particularly important to me: to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm; to encourage his creativity; to befriend him with the language; the letters and their sounds; to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop; to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences; to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible; to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...; to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary. A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.

I teach online via zoom. This allows me to share interesting content with you.
