Learn to speak English like a native with a qualified and experienced British English teacher

*I'm not teaching at the moment and may return in Spring 2023*

Hello everyone! I am an experienced, qualified English teacher from the UK. I speak Spanish to intermediate level, and a little Greek and Arabic. I have a first class bachelors degree in English Literature and Sociology from The University of Leeds in the UK.

I have experience teaching all levels from children as young as 5 years old to proficiency level students. I have taught many different exam boards including IELTS, Cambridge, Trinity and Michigan so I can prepare you for your exams.

My lessons are tailor made for my students. In the initial classes we can discuss your weak areas and I can assess what grammatical or pronunciation areas we need to work on.

Most importantly, my classes are fun and inspiring. I can come to your house, or you may come to mine if you live in Thessaloniki area. In addition, I do online classes.

TOEFL Preparation Tutor, Achieve your dream TOEFL score, expert guidance and personalized strategies
Achieve your dream TOEFL score with expert guidance and personalized strategies. About Me With over 10 years of experience in language education, I specialize in helping students excel in the TOEFL exam. My extensive background in teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) has equipped me with the skills to guide learners from diverse backgrounds to achieve their highest potential. I hold a Master’s degree in Applied Linguistics and am certified in TESOL. I know well that preparing for the TOEFL EXAMS can be challenging, especially when tackling it alone. My approach as a TOEFL tutor is all about providing the best quality teaching possible, coupled with genuine care and support. I'm passionate about helping my students achieve their dreams and academic goals. First thing first, you will get familiarized with the Test Format: academic passages that cover various subjects, such as science, history, and social studies of about 700 words long each and answer 10 questions per passage, Question Types: Practice with questions about factual information, inferences, vocabulary, sentence insertion, and overall summaries. what skills are tested, questions types, and the time length. Here’s What to Expect from my preparation when getting ready for the TOEFL : In the Reading Section, I help you build a strong foundation of how to understand and analyze academic texts by building reading comprehension skills such as: 1-Active Reading: how to engage with the text through note-taking and annotations, to learn to grasp main ideas and important details, to make inferences by improving your ability to read between the lines and understand implied meanings, to learn to deduce meanings from context 2-Skimming and Scanning: how to quickly identify key information. In the Writing Section I will help you on how best to communicate effectively in written English. The Writing Section consists of two tasks: the Integrated Writing Task and the Independent Writing Task. 1-Integrated Writing Task: requires combination of Skills: I help you explain the importance of identifying the relationship between the reading and the lecture (e.g., how they complement or contradict each other) summarizing the key points and synthesizing the information/explaining the relationship between them. I provide you a flexible essay template that students can adapt, including introduction, body (key points from reading and listening), and conclusion.My detailed feedback for improvement includes revision techniques:I will teach you how to revise your essays for clarity, accuracy, and coherence.Specific feedback on grammar, coherence, and synthesis of information is also thoroughly discussed. 2-Independent Writing Task (a response of 300-350 words): In this task you will learn how to express your ideas based on a prompt, presenting your opinion and supporting it with reasons and examples. So, you will be trained on the following skills of Synthesis( Integrate information from reading and listening materials), Argumentation (develop and support your viewpoints clearly and logically), Proficient Writing (enhance grammar, coherence, and vocabulary usage) along with Time Management (develop strategies to read and answer questions efficiently within the allotted 54-72 minutes. Overall, the class will be fully tailored to your study plan to address specific weaknesses and build on strengths and finally gain the confidence and motivation to achieve your goals.I ensure you get enough consistent writing practice under timed conditions followed with detailed feedback to improve. I'll be more than happy to help you pave the way for your academic success.
