" At the beginning of the course I will speak to you to establish your level of English and what you expect to achieve out of the course. The course will designed especially for you and I will choose materials that will help you make the best improvements. Your progress will be reviewed during the course and the plan will be adapted if necessary. "
" My aim is to specialise in teaching English to the higher levels"
" I find teaching IELTS particularly rewarding as it helps students to progress to university and I know that learning with me has helped them take this important step in their lives."
Using Skype is an excellent way of learning and teaching. I have taught on this for over three years now and believe it is better than meeting face to face. It certainly saves spending unnecessary time and money travelling. The text box is an excellent means of showing corrections without the student having to spend time making notes as, unlike when using a whiteboard, the writing is saved in Skype after the lesson is finished. I can also see what the student is writing without having to look over their shoulder as the text is on my screen. The sound is generally very clear these days and it is easy to discuss pictures and do speaking exercises, again I can write feedback in the text box and we can discuss it after the speaking exercise is over.
Of course, if you are not used to working with Skype you may be unsure if you will like using it which is one reason why I offer a free half hour lesson to start, both for this reason and so that I can establish your level and requirements from the course.
