Hello!

I live in South Wales now but I have lived in many places including Hong Kong, Italy, India, Brunei, Ireland and Northern England. I speak clearly with a slight northern English accent. I am actually a qualified maths and English teacher but offer my services on Cambly for English conversation and grammar perfection. I love dogs, growing vegetables and walking in beautiful places to watch birds, waterfalls and oceans.

Holiday Notice: I will not be on Cambly on Sunday 1st November. I am sorry for the inconvenience to my students. There are lots of extra hours are appearing on my schedule because I am increasing my hours at the moment, so please get your series' booked now. This availability will quickly disappear. I do not work on Fridays or Saturdays. I teach people over 18 years old. Please see "Cambly Kids" for Children's tutors. Individual lessons in a series can be cancelled if you have unexpected commitments. My teaching career spans 35 years. I taught classes and one-to-one in maths and English. My resources and experience will help me find new ways to achieve your English language aims. ____I am a published poet and writer and gain great pleasure from reading a wide range of literature. As well as being a qualified teacher, I have experience working in management, employment agency, international company (Rank Xerox), publishing and newspapers._____ I like to talk about all sorts of things, including animals, nature, current affairs, politics, art, science, philosophy, beliefs, culture, and travel. **Please remember to rate and review lessons. Your opinion helps others select the right tutor for them. **You can cancel lessons at no cost upto 12 hours before they are due to start. If you cannot make a lesson after this period, please cancel rather than fail to log on. I can fill cancelled lessons but not no-shows.

Specialties

Teaching Style

I will help you improve your English with friendly and humorous conversation. I am patient and will be flexible to match your learning style. I am a *Cambly Pro* Tutor which means I have a consistently high review rating and I can offer a professional structured learning programme for those on the Cambly Pro plan. For Pro students, I will write specific lessons to suit your profession, major and stated learning goals. I will send you the lesson material after the lesson, so you can use it for revision. This may include material we didn't have time to cover in the lesson. There may also be phrase and vocabulary lists to add to your learning strategy. I will use articles and literature from your professional field to help us develop relevant vocabulary for you. I understand the pitfalls of language study because I am a student of languages myself. I am always trying to improve my French, Italian and Welsh. I am also learning Mandarin Chinese. 我只学了九个月,所以我还是个初学者 and have a few words of Turkish. If you require a formal approach I can do that too as I am a qualified academic teacher. 我喜欢教中国人,因为我对中国有很强的亲和力。 Türklere öğretmeyi seviyorum. I am happy to teach any Cambly Course for adults.
