Hello! I am an enthusiastic English teacher based in York, I specialise in Literature and teaching English as a foreign language. I have worked part time in York centre throughout my degree but would love to add some tuition to my work schedule.
I have recently completed a BA (Hons) in English Language and Literature and gained a 2:1 along with a Cambridge Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA).
I believe that it is important to really enjoy what you are learning about any subject and I hope I can help you in your experience with English!

Availability: Please contact me to discuss current availability I am usually flexible on midweek evenings.

Willing to travel: 10 miles

Experience: I completed a CELTA course in 2013 at York St John`s University in order to train in teaching English as a foreign language this was an amazing experience that truly prepared me for lesson planning and assisting students in their learning and development.
After the course, I set up a non-profit language class in York city centre to assist speakers of other languages in their development of English. This was targeted at working adults on a low income. The course ran for several months and was a hugely beneficial experience for both the students and teachers involved!
I have also tutored several students through their GCSEs over the past year I enjoy helping each student to fully grasp the material in order to succeed in their exams.
