Paul - Birmingham tutor
Information About Paul:
Personal Description:
I have many years of tutoring behind me and am currently studying for the Diploma in English Teaching to Adults.
I'm widely travelled and have spent many years living abroad. This has contributed to a high degree of fluency in Spanish and French. I acquire languages easily, being open to the cultures in which I find myself.
Teaching Experience:
I have taught exclusively in continental countries. One year in Finland, six years in Spain and two in Germany. In all cases the teaching took place in private schools or in company offices. Much of the teaching was 1 to 1, the rest being in small groups.
Tutoring Approach:
I believe that language acquisition takes place when the learner is relaxed and so my approach may be considered informal. The choice of materials is a joint decision. Good classes can take place with or without them.
I also favour a communicative approach, which entails giving a needs analysis to all my learners.
