I am a friendly, professional, approachable English tutor from the UK. I offer General English lessons to beginners, intermediate, advanced and proficient students. I have lived and worked abroad myself, so I have empathy for students learning English for social or travel reasons. I have some excellent materials, and customers give great feedback on my lessons.
Why learn with me?
- Students feel comfortable in my lessons
- I can personalise a lesson plan for you
- Many students get top scores in tests
- Business English customers and Job Interview customers succeed
- I have excellent and diverse materials
Students benefit from my numerous specialist qualifications to coach Business English, Grammar, Speaking, IELTS, TOEFL, Critical Thinking, and other tests. People value my speaking and vocabulary services, my writing coaching skills, and my professionalism. My Business English customers appreciate my finance background. I am a member of the ITAFEL tutor organisation, a member of the Chartered Institute of Proofreading and Editing, and a former chartered accountant. I look forward to hearing about your learning goals.
Is there room for improvement with your reading, writing and listening skills? I am the tutor for you!
My knowledge of Advanced Grammar, and proofreading skills come in handy for the standardised tests, and also for customers looking for proofreading and editing services.
Additionally, I coach Business English, Economics and Accounting. Prior to being a tutor I qualified as an accountant (I.C.A.E.W professional exams, ACA 1996). I have now retired from the I.C.A.E.W. but still teach and mark for accountancy and business tests. My real - life experience makes me a great tutor!
Start today in a positive way. Invest in your future! Book a lesson!
Kind regards,
Cathy
