About Me

I am a passionate, diligent, and globally aware educator, trainer, and resource developer, with over 10 years of continuous work experience across a range of interrelated sectors.

My teaching methodology is that I approach each lesson differently depending on the needs and aims of the student. Should you, or your child wish to pass A-Level/IB Economics, learn Business English, improve your general English or IELTS score, or pass Key Stage 2 Maths, I am available for you.

Outside of teaching I am a consultant for small organisations seeking to reach wider audiences. I play football and like to learn new languages.

In today’s world, multilingualism is becoming more and more important. In addition to opening up employment opportunities, being able to speak a foreign language helps to make a real connection with people and to know more about diverse cultures, places and lifestyles. The more proficient you are, the better you can express yourself.

Sue
ENGLISH TEACHER from ENGLAND excellent quality lessons
Hello, are you looking for an English teacher, qualified from the UK? Do you wish to improve your pronunciation, your grammar and get ready for your job/school? The English lessons here are especially designed to meet your needs. Do you wish to have your work corrected, to work on literature/ business subjects/ linguistics or prepare yourself for an exam? Don’t wait and send me a message. The teacher can prepare you as well for specific examinations like IETLS or specific English programs (A-Levels, GCSE...). Why learning English? English is a worldwide language and you will need to have solid basis in English for your job or for leisure when travelling. Did you know? Knowing an extra language is extremely appreciated by recruiters because not only you are familiar with a foreign language but also you will be open-minded, knowing various cultures. 😊 You have the possibility to have the lessons via Skype (the majority of my students prefer having their lessons online, technology is fun!). If you have further inquiries, don’t hesitate to let me know, it will be a pleasure to help you and present you to your teacher.

Santiago
Online virtual conversational English classes for adults
Hello, My name is Santiago and I am offering individual and personalized virtual English classes to improve both your oral and written communication. The main focus of my classes is focused on developing fluent and structured communication of the English language either to prepare international exams, including the TOEFL and the FCE, or to be able to communicate properly in the professional field or to reinforce and maintain prior knowledge of this language. I am a graduate, graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University in the USA. Having learned English as a child at the Ivy Thomas Memorial School in Uruguay, and lived a year and a half in Thailand, followed by 4 years in the USA I acquired great knowledge and fluency in the English language. In Thailand I spent a year and a half studying communication arts, which helped me, prepare for my studies in the US. I had several communication classes, learning techniques of how to speak better using not only our words but also our body to help us speak more naturally, calmly, and without getting nervous if we get stuck or forget what we wanted to say. During my career in the US, I was constantly writing essays for my classes, in addition to having to present projects in front of my teachers and classmates. At the same time, I was working at university and after graduation I worked for a year, mainly having long phone conversations with people from all over the country. Nowadays the ability to communicate in English is essential and I am going to prepare you so that you can meet your goals. It could be, studying abroad, going to live in an English-speaking country, improving your communication in the professional field, or keep practicing so as not to lose the previously acquired level. If what you are looking for is to improve your knowledge of the English language, I will help you. My methodology is simple. Each person is different and I adapt the content of my classes to the needs and interests of my students. We all learn in different ways and at different times,

Chemistry, Biology, English, problem solving skills, critical thinking, understanding the concept by heart
Flexibility and patience with pupils are two very key traits of a great instructor. Flexibility shows that a tutor is willing to modify their methods and strategies to suit the particular needs of each student. I have great communication skills to connect with my students and share complex information based on their needs. I try to have a strong understanding of different subject matters to ensure students learn during their sessions. I try to explain everything in easy and fun ways and provide examples to let the students understand and remember the concept forever! I enjoy my teaching time first and look forward to each teaching lesson, making it fun for myself too. And I believe my students can receive my energy and be interested in my class. I wish students could see the beauty of chemistry and biology and enjoy learning about them. Nature and science teach you a lot!
