Lucy
Hello!
Hi everyone! My name is Lucy and I am looking forward to using my CELTA teaching skills to help you improve your English. I would like to warmly welcome you to chat with me. I have a lot of international experience, I grew up in West Asia from the age of one and lived in Qatar, Oman, Dubai, and Turkey. I went to college in Australia and then went on to manage hotels in Thailand for fourteen years. I have just returned to the UK after spending 4 years in South America where I started teaching on Cambly and have tutored over 7,000 classes!! I am very comfortable speaking to people whose first language is not English so there is no need to feel shy with me :) I am happy to have general conversations in an informal, natural way as they would happen in real life as well as teach formal English for academic or business purposes. The lessons will be student-centred and I will adapt to your needs. We will build your confidence by focusing on communication first, and then accuracy. As a psychology graduate, I have specific experience working in the fields of psychology and research, tourism and hospitality management, craft beer, wine, food and travel, but am happy to speak about any topic you wish! I am a warm, friendly and patient person who will encourage you in your learning. I know from experience that learning something new can be difficult, so I hope to make your lessons comfortable, fun and memorable. Let's get to know each other and have fun learning!
During my CELTA course, I was trained to teach all levels of English learner. After tutoring 7,500 classes on Cambly , I prefer to teach lower intermediate up to advanced students and can adapt to a style that suits each student at their level.

Teaching Style
In sessions, students can expect a blend of the direct approach and communicative language teaching. This ensures that students learn English in a natural, instinctive way, but are also able to function in the real world, in English, by being able to express their needs and make requests. The focus of the lessons will depend on the students requirements, as lessons will always be student-centred. I will correct accuracy when necessary with encouragement, warmth and praise and reinforcement.
