I can't wait to meet you and join you on your learning journey; but first a little about myself! I'm a New Zealand-born, native English-speaking, TEFL-qualified professional English teacher with over 8+ years of international teaching experience. I'm passionate about sports, politics, culture, science, learning, education, languages, reading, and art. I'm a passionate English teacher with students from across the globe who are now lifelong friends/acquaintances, and I can't wait to meet you and begin your learning adventure. I began teaching English for a New Zealand-based company back in early 2015. I taught there for 2 years before teaching as a freelance English teacher for students from around the world, and have been doing so for more than 6 years now. I am TEFL qualified with a Diploma in English language and literature and am a 5-star rated tutor on 5 separate websites with thousands of students from across the globe. My students see results, fast; if you want to see similar success, come and book with me today! I first like to establish my students level in English, introduce myself, and get to know them and their needs. Much of my lesson is focused around developing the ability to speak comprehensible English; like with any language, speaking/communication is the primary purpose of English and is the most important element. My lessons are fun, engaging, and always a challenge. I push my students to learn new things, develop, and grow. My classroom is always a safe space where my students can ask questions, feel free to make mistakes, and can openly communicate about anything they'd like. Once I'm satisfied with my students communicative English, I will move on to teach them formal rules in English, (reading, writing, grammar, punctuation etc.). I will provide work to be done inside and outside the classroom to make sure you're speaking English like a professional in no time at all
