Lynn
Hello!
My name is Lynn, and I am a British qualified and highly-experienced teacher. I have been an English as a second language tutor on Cambly for nearly six years, and an EFL teacher since 1999, working in language schools, universities, private classes and for sixteen years a full-time teacher at the British Council. I am able to support your learning journey from beginner to advanced, and Cambridge IELTS preparation. I also have a Cambridge University qualification in teaching children, CELTYL ext. Further to this I hold a qualification in online teaching. My strengths as a teacher are understanding your needs, can pace my language for your level, for example, I have a lot of beginner students, who give me great feedback. I can help you get a higher band score in the IELTS exam, as I understand the requirements, and identify areas for improvement. I was a Cambridge CAE, FCE, PET, and KET speaking examiner, and often support young learners to attain success in these exams. I have taught all over the world, and understand cultural differences.
I love travelling and have visited and lived in many countries for example Spain, South America, Africa, Morocco and Saudi Arabia. My favourite places are the beach and the mountains, I like hiking and horse riding. My favourite activity is being in nature. I also do yoga, and dance. I particularly like salsa. I like spending my free time with my family and friends. At home I enjoy cooking and gardening.

I am a fun, engaging and inspirational teacher with over 25 years' years experience, therefore I can assess students' requirements and direct my methods to meet the needs of my learners. I also am able to teach low to high levels, exam practice, including Cambridge IELTS, and business English. I sometimes use the Cambly lesson materials, which are varied, and matched to meet many different levels, they are also topic based, which promotes vocabulary and developing fluency. The overall focus of my lessons are in building confidence, and developing skills, particularly fluency, accuracy and vocabulary. I hope you learn and enjoy your lessons with me.
