Information About Emma:

Personal Description:

Teaching English is my passion! Having worked as a PA/Office Administrator for 10 years, I decided to train as a TEFL teacher last year. The experience has changed my life and I quickly developed a love for teaching the English language. I am a native English speaker with impeccable written English and a sound knowledge of English grammar. I have recently returned to office work but wish to continue teaching, so that I can help others to improve their knowledge of English. I believe that learning English should be enjoyable. I love the English language and believe it is such a valuable skill to be able to speak it well and with confidence. I love reading and writing, and am also interested in psychology.

Teaching Experience:

I have spent nine months teaching English as a foreign language to children of all ages (3-18) and to adults in Thailand and China. This includes reading, writing, listening and speaking. I have taught classes of 40 and tutored on a 1-1 basis. My tutoring sessions involved a mixed approach of text book and other materials. I have experience of teaching different levels of ability from beginner through to advanced. I loved teaching abroad and feel proud that I have helped to improve the knowledge and skills of my students.

Tutoring Approach:

My approach is to be flexible and work with the needs of the student. I am a calm, patient and approachable tutor and I enjoy working with children and adults. I am as creative as possible, ensuring that teaching methods and materials are varied, relevant and interesting to the student. This includes the use of and songs for children which develop knowledge of phonics, vocabulary and grammar. For adults, sessions would focus on a variety of conversation topics and contemporary issues, as well as written and listening exercises, which would assist the learner's understanding of contemporary culture as well as the language itself.

Qualifications:

• 120 hour TEFL Certificate (London College of Teacher Training)
• BA Hons Sociology
• A Levels - Philosophy (A), Sociology (A), Psychology (B)
• GCSEs - 4xA, 3xB, 2xC (English Language B)
