Elizabeth - Ripon tutor






Information About Elizabeth:


Personal Description:

I am a qualified and experienced teacher of English as a Foreign Language, and worked in Turkey for 10 years. On learning to speak Turkish fluently and naturally I began to teach colleagues and friends, and since then have taught both English and Turkish.

As a native English speaker who learned Turkish, and also as a fully qualified and experienced teacher I know just what is needed when you start! My present students are very happy with their progress and say they are learning much more quickly and effectively than they did before.



Teaching Experience:

English - CELTA qualified since 1989, certified Cambridge University Exams Oral Examiner, and experience at all levels from primary school to business and exam courses. I have recently trained in Aviation English, and currently test pilots and air traffic controllers to international standards.

Turkish - taught to a good conversational standard, with emphasis on speaking naturally and with a good accent. Based in grammar, but my aim is to have you speaking as soon as possible! Over the years I have developed a vast range of worksheets and other teaching materials, which you cannot find anywhere else.



Tutoring Approach:

My approach is flexible, and following an introductory (free!) chat with the student, I provide all materials and tailor the course to your needs.

A wide variety of materials will be used, and you are encouraged to do regular pre-study and homework. Books can be recommended if you wish.

You are most welcome to my home for classes, or more conveniently why not try online learning, in a virtual classroom? Using the free software it is easy and takes only a few minutes to set up. My present online students are very satisfied with this method, as they can have lessons from their office, home or even while travelliing!
