Denise C - Tutor in Plumstead

Do you want to improve your English? If so, I hope you will join me soon in class. My teaching style makes your learning experience fun! I am friendly, approachable with a passion for helping others. For me, the greatest reward is to see students progress in their command of the English language. *Do you want to communicate better with your colleagues? *Do you want to do presentations and partake in meetings and WOW your audience? * Do you want to speak with clear pronunciation that always makes a great first impression? My specialization is BUSINESS ENGLISH. As your tutor, my role is to prepare you with the skills needed to use English as an effective communication tool. ~As your coach, I can help you break through barriers that are holding you back and focus on the actions necessary to achieve your goals.~ *Are you doing TOEFL, IELTS or a Masters Programme? I offer focused and efficient study sessions. I will be your study partner and you can practice each section of the test with me. I can explain the material in a way that you can understand - whether you are struggling to identify the ideal vocabulary to describe something or simply need to work on your formal writing skills. ~As your coach, I can help you with testing strategies that can be useful for future exams, such as time and anxiety management, pacing, and prioritization.~ I encourage ACTIVE learning. I give prompt feedback and I use a variety of resources (Videos, Podcasts, Games, Quizzes) to make your lessons more interesting. In my lessons, Your DEVELOPMENT is my priority. All I ask of you is that you agree to be prepared for YOUR lessons; practice a lot, enjoy the lessons and have fun while learning.
