Managing Director Dee

I love what I do. I am a qualified teacher and interpreter . I did my master degree in International relations. I have a great passion for languages and that makes my lessons better.My students are challenged and make progress in no time enjoying themselves at the same time :) My technique is to make sure my students get plenty of practice in actually speaking the language during the lessons – that way they are more likely to be confident about speaking it when they are abroad. https://calendly.com/info-6097/english-lesson-dee

Spanish, French, English Liz

Hi my name is Liz and I am a Spanish, French and English tutor. I've always had a passion for learning languages and I am keen to pass this on to others. When I teach initially, I work on increasing vocabulary, then build up to answering simple questions and structuring sentences. To keep lessons fun, I vary activities, for instance by reading news articles and watching videos. Discussions become more in depth as students advance. My job allows me to meet the fantastic students, who come from many different countries. I enjoy seeing them progress from knowing a few basic phrases, to being able to converse confidently. I bring out the best in my students with lots of encouragement and praise.>

English. Maths, Business Studies Mike

I qualified in June 2015 and have held a number of teacher/training roles working with a variety of agencies & educational establishments around the country. I have been involved with many home educational programmes since qualifying, assisting individuals to either catch up or develop their previous missed educational opportunities.

My subjects of expertise are English Language & English Literature, Maths (Foundation Level) & Business Studies; up to GCSE Level. I have experience of the curriculum from all the current examination boards used in the UK.

I am also for the second year an (AE - Examiner) for 8702/2 English Literature: Modern texts & Poetry - GCSE. (AQA Board).

This has provided a wealth of knowledge based on learning how to negotiate the mark schemes and ultimately introduce these invaluable techniques into my professional practice.

Spanish, English Oliver

Hi, my name is Oliver! I qualified as a teacher of English as a foreign language 8 years ago. Learning is effective when it is fun, so my lessons are carefully planned with this in mind, whilst also considering a students’ unique personality to ensure an approach which is personally suitable and I usually finish with a game that evinces and/or consolidates the learning for that lesson/topic.

English, German, French Peter

I have MA (Hons) German with French from Edinburgh University. I have also completed various courses in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL).Languages give me the greatest pleasure, and I have been a teacher of English, French and German at all levels for many decades, locally, as well as in Keswick, Munich and Casablanca, in private language schools as well as in state schools. Now I am focused on private tutoring and I am pleased to say that my students so far have achieved good examination results in the new French and German GCSE examinations, which have proved to be daunting for many students. I have also helped students of both French and German to prepare for their A-levels, and in post A-level studies and refresher courses. I also enjoy the challenge of preparing students for English examinations needed for academic or professional purposes, like the Cambridge examinations all the way to Proficiency level and IELTS, usually up to level 7. Here, again, the students’ results have been good. I like to think that I adapt my teaching well to the needs of the situation and of the individual student, which is the real benefit of one-to-one or small group teaching. I am glad to say that goals can be achieved without having to be serious all the time. Even more challenging, but just as enjoyable, is teaching beginners, who sometimes have almost no prior knowledge of the language, in which case it is very rewarding to see the progress they make in becoming more able to communicate with locals on holidays abroad, and in some cases preparing for early-stage examinations, like the permanent right to remain English language test. Some of my foreign language students enjoy their weekly lesson with a friend as a social event with a purpose, which can be as hilarious as it is educational. I hope you can join us. If you are faced with a school language examination that you are concerned about, or cannot make progress in part of an English test which you need to pass for professional purposes, please do not leave it until the last minute. Skills take time to develop, and progress starts slowly at first, then accelerates. We can help you if you allow us the time to do so.

I am also the holder of the prestigious 2018 Training and Coaching EVA Award for The North of England.

I provide specialist support for those studying GCSE courses in Mathematics and English and to those preparing for SATs examinations. I also assist students with Specific Learning Difficulties and help them develop new skills and strategies to enable them to progress with their studies and achieve. The most common SpLDs are dyslexia, dyspraxia, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder, dyscalculia and dysgraphia. An individual may have one of these independently or they can co-exist as part of a wider profile.

As a Specialist Teacher, I primarily use multi-sensory methods to support and teach learners and to help them develop independent learning and study skills with confidence. I have worked with children and adults and am able to detect learning differences, such as visual stress, which can have a profound effect on a child or an adult. My gentle approach and understanding of various teaching approaches for learning enables me to deliver sessions which are planned correctly for the individual. My teaching qualifications and personal attributes have demonstrated that I am a caring, determined professional, who works to high standards. I have the dedication it takes to engage young and mature people in education and make a difference to their lives and their studying.
