Information About Nick:

Personal Description:

I have experience playing and composing music especially with my guitar and keyboard. I am primarily qualified as a music producer with many skills in mixing and mastering. I have been involved in many professional productions across the north e.g. in Dance City, and The Rheged Centre fashion show for Debenhams and Mercedes to name a few. I am an enthusiastic, creative and motivated person with a keen interest to teach. I am a highly effective linguist with great academic, technical, teaching and professional background.

I am a native speaker of Greek and English, bilingual in all modes. Educated in both Greece and England I have an advantage in understanding the culture and concept of each language, therefore making me able to specialize and understand the difficulties between an English student wanting to learn Greek or vice versa. I find teaching extremely rewarding particularly when contributing to the learners' development by passing on my passion for language and culture with an outstanding approach to lessons.

Teaching Experience:

I have experience in Teaching English as a Foreign Language to international students across a range of ages and levels both in the UK and in Athens. In Athens I was employed as a private English tutor and trusted by many families to provide good results for their children as well as adult learners.
Qualifications

Tutoring Approach:

After been a student for many years, I have obtained a knowledge for efficient studying, aiding students whatever the level, to achieve their full potential in Greek, English, or Music Production.

My teaching experience ranges from children to adults with extremely positive results. Greek is a challenging language however with my passion for teaching it, achieving fluency is possible for anyone that truly wants to learn. I am very flexible and very patient with a high understanding of the students' needs.

My lessons are designed to cater for students' individual needs. The materials used focus on real communication for a real purpose. I encourage students to make mistakes but also teach them to learn from them. I have always believed in the communicative approach for teaching, which ensures that students seize the structural aspects of a language or subject. This method shows a particular advance for my language students in becoming fluent speakers.

I also incorporate the use of modern technology in my lessons (used by NASA). It is a vital part of our everyday lives and I feel it is essential to the learning process. Regular sessions in the language subjects each week, would ensure full potential and maximize student results, as they need to frequently exercise what they have learned. Hard work and repetition is essential, but my experience over the years has taught me to make it fun and rewarding.

Qualifications:

• BTEC National diploma in Music Technology
• Degree in Music Production
• BA in Music Enterprise
