I am passionate about teaching. I believe the key to learning a language is to understand what you need to use it for and how this might affect how you might express yourself. I also believe that learning should be a collaborative process and fun.
Currently, I teach ESOL part-time for Adult Learning Wales. Many of my current learners have been thrown into a situation by the War in Ukraine, where they need to learn English in order to use their many skills in their new (if temporary) life. In the past, I have taught people from many different countries and backgrounds through classes provided by Further Education Colleges. I have taught several different exam boards including City and Guilds at Entry Level 2-L2. I am a native speaker.
My approach is to teach functional English. Of course there are lessons in grammar that need to be covered and I am qualified to a degree level to teach my subject. The lesson topics however will be driven by my students need to communicate in terms of homelife and work life.
