Please see other ads for my full teaching experience.

DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate:

I have a current DBS (Enhanced Disclosure) and I'm registered with the online update service, which ensures that I am always safe! I am happy to show my documents and be interviewed by parents in person or on the phone.

About the lesson

My credo:
The saying is, "No pain, no gain." My attitude is just the opposite. I like to make learning as easy and enjoyable as possible for both children and adults. If learning is a struggle, come to me and let me take the heat out of the situation.

I teach ESOL/EFL. I also teach presentation techniques for foreign professionals.

General ESOL/EFL lessons:

My focus is on increasing skills for living and working in English. Lessons will be tailored to the requirements of individual clients, but generally I arrange a lesson with a lively mix of conversation and pronunciation practice, reading and comprehension, grammar and topic work on British history and culture.

Presentation techniques for foreign professionals:

I have a performance background and give training in public speaking and presentation techniques. I can help you with giving talks and powerpoint presentations in English. This will include advice on creating a speech of the right length, how to use notes or powerpoint, how to stand, how to use your voice, how to control your gestures, how to pace and time your talk, how to use visuals effectively and handle questions.

My qualifications:

BA in Theatre Arts Performance with Great Distinction from California State University Long Beach (1979).

Cambridge University Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults Grade A (2002)

PGCE in Literacy (Post-Compulsory) from the Institute of Education, University of London (2009)

Qualified Teacher Learning & Skills IFL (2010).

My fee structure:

£40 for a lesson at your home.
£30 for a lesson if you come to my home. I offer a discount for two or more lessons a week at my home.

If you live outside my area (please see below) and want a home visit, I can only do this if you are within quick and easy reach by public transport from my home or other work. Contact me if you wish to discuss your situation.

I am happy to teach small groups or set up a small class. Contact me to discuss size and cost.

My areas:

I generally teach children in their own homes. Adult students usually come to me. My area is roughly N15, N16 and E5, which is South Tottenham, Stamford Hill, Stoke Newington and Upper Clapton. My local stations are South Tottenham and Seven Sisters.

I can go to convenient locations on the Victoria and Piccadilly lines and the Gospel Oak to Barking overground line or areas reached by an easy bus journey.

I currently teach in South Tottenham, Turnpike Lane, Crouch End, Muswell Hill and Ilford.

Availability:

General availability:
Children: after school, Sundays, half-terms and holidays.
Adults: daytime, evenings, Sundays and holidays.

Current availability:
Children: I have the Tuesday and Thursday after school slots free . I am available for special tuition over half-terms and holidays.

Adults: My adult schedule changes frequently, so contact me for current availability. I am also available for more intensive tuition over holidays.

I will contact you initially by email, usually on the same day I receive your email. Please check your junk email if you think you haven't heard from me.
When you contact me, please tell me roughly where you live, e.g., "by Finsbury Park station" or "near the junction of Seven Sisters and Holloway Rd." That way I know whether it's possible to fit you in my timetable. Sometimes I can squeeze in a lesson if it works well with my other bookings. Thanks.

Ages and levels:

I work with children and adults. As an ESOL/EFL teacher most of my experience has been with beginning, elementary and intermediate levels for general English tuition. For presentation techniques I teach all levels.

Exams:

I generally don't coach specifically for exams, preferring to focus on teaching the speaking, reading and writing skills that will last a lifetime. However I do teach speaking and listening, reading and comprehension, writing and grammar, which can help you pass your exam.

Online tutoring:

I don't do online tutoring! My apologies to foreign students who are learning English. If you are considering coming to London to study English, contact me if you'd like a private EFL course, either for an individual or group. I specialise in spoken English and presentation skills for foreign professionals.

Personal message:

Don't think that because you are struggling that you will never learn or never improve. Anyone can learn, anyone can improve. The right teacher will show you that the work isn't as difficult as you think and that your abilities are greater than you imagine. And don't think it is too late for you to learn. It is never too late!
