English language for business, study, conversation or travel
The class would begin with a needs analysis, finding out the student’s level, problems (ie grammar/pronunciation/fluency/vocabulary) and also why they need help with their English(ie for work/study/travel). The class would then start work on whichever area the student”s language needs indicate. Correction and language rules would be incorporated in practice. The great majority of the class would be student practice in whatever type of English is needed.

About Me
I have been teaching English to adults (16 and over) for over 40 years, both abroad (Turkey and China) and in England, in private language schools International House and the London School of English) and latterly I’m the Universities of Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire. The basis of my teaching is to establish a rapport with the student or students, creating a relaxed atmosphere where students can express themselves freely. Then o focus on the needs of the student - are they preparing for an exam, do they just wish to communicate effectively or do they have specific professional goals ie giving business presentations or interacting with customers in retail or tourism - the class has to focus on student needs. After that, I aim to maximise practice - ensure that students use the English they need as much as possible during a class, my role being correction and input of grammar, vocabulary etc as and when needed. Most students have learned some English at school but often learn rules rather than practising. For me, guided practice in a relaxed but focussed environment is the key to student success.Education

Maths and English tutoring for school children up to GCSE level, offered by an LSE Masters StudentI achieved 9s at GCSE in Maths, English Language, and English Literature. I also took Maths and English at A-level, and achieved A*s. I have tutored GCSE students in these subjects in the past, and I taught English to students in Burkina Faso. I also currently volunteer with children aged 11-15 at a charity called the 'Ministry of Stories' to develop children's writing abilities.
On a personal level, as someone who was relatively recently in senior school (I am in my early 20s), and with two younger brothers who are at GCSE and A-level respectively, I want to use my up-to-date knowledge of the education system to help young people do well!
I adapt all lessons plans to the student’s individual needs. Upon first meeting a student/their parent, we discuss the aims they want to achieve within the number of agreed lessons; e.g. whether there is a particular topic they wish to focus on, or if they would like to practise the subject more broadly. I formulate a potential lesson plan which I email to the student/their parent. After receiving feedback and comments, we agree on a final plan together. This is the approach I used in past tutoring jobs, and I have found it to be very successful.
Due to my past tutoring experience with GCSE students, I am familiar with the current GCSE curriculum for Maths and English, for the AQA, Edexcel, and OCR exam boards. I use a combination of textbooks, extra material issued by the exam board, and past papers to teach students. I mark all their work according to the marking criteria issued by the exam board. I am also happy to go over a student’s class notes with them, if they are struggling to understand what the teacher has said. According to the student/parent preferences, I can set homework, which I mark before lessons and explain to the student during the lesson.
In my approach to Maths, I aim to ensure the student fully understands the rationale of each mathematical step, rather than merely memorising the solutions to answers without understanding the logic behind them.
During English classes, I will discuss texts and practise exercises with students orally and mark their written work, Also, I use my own tasks to improve students’ writing and analysis. For example, if students are often getting ‘stuck’ when faced with a text for the first time, I practise a list of key ‘trigger questions’ with them. (For instance: what is your instinctive emotional response to this text? Are there any specific sentences you think trigger this reaction in you? From the list of classic techniques authors use, like similes, extended metaphors, hyperbole, and oxymorons, are any used here? What is their effect? Are any of the themes we have identified in the rest of the book here?) To improve the students' writing abilities, I use techniques like encouraging students to produce ‘essay plans’ for me during lessons. They bullet point their ideas within ten minutes, and then we mark them together. This improves students’ structure, as they can more easily see the overall cohesion of their argument than if they were to write it out in full. It also helps students practise thinking on their feet. These are just two examples of techniques I use. Like lesson plans, I adapt the technique to the student, depending on what works best for them.

simple present tenseThe simple present tense, or in English it is called the simple present.
It is the most used tense when speaking because it expresses personal habits, daily routine, or facts.
It is formed from the first conjugation of the verb by adding s/es/ies to the singular subject (he/she/it or any singular noun)
But the plural subject such as (you/we/they/i or any plural noun) is the verb in the infinitive, i.e. without any additions.
There are frequency conditions that determine how often you do an action:
Always Often Sometimes Never .
Negation:
Don't to negate the plural + infinitive
Doesn't to negate a singular verb + the infinitive (inf). The infinitive means that the verb is without any additions.
