Hannah

Hello, I’m Hannah!
I`m a dedicated and highly experienced CELTA Qualified EFL Teacher, English Tutor, Proofreader and Editor with over 6 years` experience. I have a First-Class BA, and MA in English Literature plus my CELTA Qualification with a Pass A.

I work in an international school in Bucharest; thus, I only do online teaching.

I teach and have taught ages 4 – 50+, levels from Beginner to Advanced, children learning to read and write, to SATs, GCSEs, National 5, A-Levels as well as degree help and essay writing skills. In addition, I have experience teaching across a breadth of needs, including SEN.

From flashcards to worksheets, I create bespoke resources that are tailor-made to the individual and their needs. I believe that learning should be fun and engaging, as much as I aim to help through teaching, I aim to build confidence through repetitive exercises, comprehension and spoken practice.

EXAMPLES OF TEXTS I TEACH:
- One Flew Over the Cuckoo`s Nest
- An Inspector Calls
- A Christmas Carol
- Othello
- Macbeth
- A Streetcar Named Desire
- The Handmaid`s Tale
- Jekyll and Hyde
- Lord of the Flies
- Animal Farm
- Power and Conflict Anthology


MY APPROACH:

It’s all about you!
You are the director of your tuition. While following the curriculum/exam board is paramount, getting where you want to be starts by meeting you where you are.
I strongly encourage students to be self-reflective and think about what areas they find most challenging. This is helpful in determining how to structure the exam and lesson content in a direction that is going to challenge and strengthen the target areas.

Most of all, I want my students to thrive and leave class knowing or feeling confident about something new.

Finally, I think it`s important to say I love what I do, so if you want enthusiastic teaching, engaging and professional lessons, please express your interest.

Availability: Flexible availability so please message with your availability.

Experience: I have been an English Tutor and EFL Teacher for over 6 years. I have taught over 250 students across a breadth of levels, ages, nationalities and needs.
I have a BA in English Literature with Creative Writing (First-Class), as well as an MA in Literature from the University of York. I would identify my specialisms as English Literature (all curriculums) and EFL (all levels and ages).

Furthermore, I am a CELTA-qualified EFL teacher. In addition, I have worked in one of the UK’s leading EFL schools as a Teacher and Social Centre Manager.

I believe part of being a great teacher is being an avid learner, so I am also learning languages: Spanish and Romanian.
