Sam - Portsmouth tutor






Information About Sam:


Personal Description:

After completing my Degree in English two years ago, I moved to Spain to teach English to all ages in an academy. After spending almost a year there I learnt Spanish well. Currently I am a warehouse manager in Portsmouth but am looking to relocate to Brighton. I am easy going and enjoy a whole range of sports and activities.



Teaching Experience:

Between September 2006 and July 2007 I was a qualified TEFL teacher in an academy in Spain. My classes were all a variety of ages from as young as ten through to adults, I learnt how to approach teaching from lots of different perspectives. It was a full time position and included giving extra tuition for students (in their homes often) who needed preparation for Important exams (FCE, CAE).



Tutoring Approach:

Younger students should be kept alert and interested by changing activities more frequently, the target knowledge should be elicited from them rather than forced out. It is important to try and find something that they can relate to in the material. Adults should be consulted beforehand to see exactly what they want out of the class.
