Jenny - Muswell Hill tutor






Information About Jenny:


Personal Description:

After gaining a degree in modern languages (Italian, Spanish), I worked in the travel industry, working primarily with Italian companies. I have lived (and taught) in Italy and have also done Italian translation work whilst living in the UK.

I now teach English as a foreign language to a large number of children and adults



Teaching Experience:

I teach English as a foreign language (CELTA qualified) to several students ranging both in age and in ability, from complete beginners to very advanced, on a one-to-one basis and in group lessons. Several of my students are studying for specialist subject diplomas and need assistance with written reports; and I also have experience of teaching business English.

Many of my students - both children and adults - are native Japanese speakers and several are long-standing students. I have also taught English to Italian students (16-18 year olds) whilst living in Italy.

I have in-depth knowledge and experience of the GCSE, AS and A'level curriculum for modern European languages from teaching students and from working with my own three teenage children.



Tutoring Approach:

Depends very much on student requirements and personality. It's essential to establish what you want to gain from the outset so that results are measurable: while GCSE and A'level students will undoubtedly want to see an A* at the end of their course, other students may be looking for the ability to converse with ease and also to produce grammatically correct written work. I certainly believe in pushing students but try to combine hard work with fun!
