Hello!

Hi, My name is Clare and I am a languages teacher with many years experience. I used to teach Spanish in secondary schools in England but then moved to Chile where I was teaching English, and am currently back in England teaching English to Ukrainians. I like to use a mixture of grammar and conversation, with speaking, listening and reading exercises. I have many years of language teaching and my pronunciation is very clear - my students find me easy to understand. My aim is to build on what you already know and to work around themes that are interesting to you, helping you to gain confidence through repetition and engagement. I look forward to hearing from you, and wish you all the best in your learning.

I am married with five grown up children and three grandchildren, spread around the world. I have spent seven years in Peru and four in Chile, working with indigenous groups and in prisons. I currently teach Ukrainians English, am a school governor and parish clerk and very involved in my local community. I love gardening and I am learning Russian in my spare time.
