LoginJoseph - Ipswich tutor
Information About Joseph:
Personal Description:
Approachable and friendly professionally trained actor, writer and English teacher. Graduated with a first (distinction) in Drama and Creative Writing from University in East Anglia and have travelled extensively in Europe and Asia, including four months in Japan. I'm from a family of teachers and have a keen interest in helping other people do better.
Teaching Experience:
As well as doing theatre outreach and workshops in Drama and Acting while at university, I have had work experience working as a classroom assistant in nurseries. After graduating, I trained as English as a Foreign Language teacher in Budapest (Cambridge accredited Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults). Since then, I have worked as an English teacher in Suffolk, Hungary and Japan, both privately and with schools (including the Working Holiday Association in Tokyo). I have taught all ages and abilites; and more nationalities than I can remember.
Tutoring Approach:
I consider myself to be a life-long student; I'm always seeking out more knowledge and experience. I believe that everyone has the capacity to learn almost anything and that there are no bad students; only bad teachers. The key to learning effectively is feeling relaxed and enthused, and these are the two elements that are often sorely missing in regular teaching. I favour one-to-one lessons because of the opportunity to cater personally for each students needs to help them progress in the way that suits them best. More formally, my methods lean towards the interactive and the communicative, with focus on the student being as active as possible in the lessons.
