Hello! I’m Matthew born and raised in the UK. I currently have a range of interests such as reading, writing & blogging, exercise and language learning. Language learning is definitely my main passion. I have learnt Cantonese by myself as an adult to fluency (advanced level) from scratch. On top of this I am learning my second foreign language: Mandarin Chinese and I hope to reach fluency in multiple foreign languages in the future. This means I am someone whose very familiar with the language learning process. I recently have started Teaching English as a Second or Foreign language.
I currently have formal & informal teaching experience. I have tutored 60-70 lessons of Maths in the past mainly to 15-16-year-olds wanting to pass the GCSE public exam but have decided to transition to teaching English as a foreign language due to finding language learning and different cultures to be fascinating. During this time of professional tutoring each student had their own tailored learning program depending on their learning preferences and goals.
On top of this, I have informal teaching experience teaching English as a foreign language through language exchange where I would teach someone else English and they would teach me their native language. I’ve been doing this for a year or two consistently (weekly or more often) and currently work as an events host for my city’s language exchange event for a few months meaning that I can understand how to help and improve one’s English.
My qualifications are a 120-hour TEFL certificate which covers grammar, methodology, lesson observance, telephone teaching & teaching large classes. I have also done an add-on module which is a 40-hour teach English online course as well as a 6-hour online teaching practical class. I have also a bachelor’s degree in Physics (2.2 Classification).
I can teach the following types of classes (all classes will be 1-1 private classes online (mainly using Skype)):
General English: £15 per hour
Conversational English: £10 per hour
Trial lesson (1 per student): £3 for 30 mins
Book a trial lesson with me and improve your English language skills. If you’re interested please leave a message to me on this website.
Thanks!
Matthew.
