Information About Helen:


Personal Description:

I have a wealth of experience of teaching English as a Foreign or Second Language. I am a mature, highly professional, responsible, diligent and punctual person. I relate well to my students and take pride in my work.



Teaching Experience:

I started teaching English as a Foreign Language in the 1980s. I have worked as an EFL teacher in Spain, Indonesia, Poland, Vietnam, Madagascar & Oxford and also trained teachers of English in the UK, Vietnam. South Africa, Poland, & Madagascar.

I have prepared students for EFL exams, for University study, English for Business, General English, CLIL and English for Specific Purposes (eg Nurses in the hospitals in Oxford).



Tutoring Approach:

I pride myself on tailoring the lesson to the needs of the individual student. I find out what the student needs, and devise lessons accordingly. My focus is always on the English language as a tool for communication, but I listen to what the student needs, what their learning preferences are and adapt lessons accordingly.
