Hello!

Hi my name is Dione, most people call me Dee. I have been working in education for over ten years and I have been working as a SEN Teacher for the past year. I come from a family of educational professionals. We all share the same intention of sharing our love for learning and teaching. I love my job and I could not do anything else. A lot of my time is spent reading about the psychology of learning and I love to apply these techniques to my classroom. I prefer a laugh and smile rather than a frown and a moan. So let me know what works for you and let's use it! I would like to think that I am funny, bubbly and easy to talk to. I want to make the lessons I teach the one that simplest but the most functional in being able to use the knowledge you have acquired in conversation sooner. I enjoy being able to cook, watch anime and read manga, I often use these themes in my lessons so that they are fun and easier to access as they are relatable. I do believe that every child has a lesson they can teach me and I can teach them. So this is all about working together and achieving those goals that you wish to have in your journey to speaking English fluently. I would like to have some knowledge of football but since Arsenal don’t seem to win any championship I am kinda at a loss for supporting them, but I am happy to debate about my lack of commitment to supporting my football team.

I am Dee and I would like to think that my students love the way in which we make silly names for each other to keep the comedy going in class. My lessons tend to be lively to keep you engaged. All lessons relate to specific areas of our life and as such making the lessons functional to be able to discuss these things, such as holidays, identity and future careers.
