Information About Harriet - Hove teacher

Personal Description:

Hello, I'm Harriet, and I have been a teacher and educator for over 20 years. I am a qualified teacher and love teaching students and seeing them grow in confidence. I specialise in teaching English as a second language, with expertise in General English, Business English and Pronunciation. I have worked successfully with students from beginner to advanced level. I live in Brighton and Hove in the South East of England but also spend a lot of time in Portugal and am now trying to learn Portuguese.

Teaching Experience:

I have over 20 years experience teaching teenagers and adults in colleges, charities and online. I am qualified to teach English as a Foreign Language, Business English and Pronunciation. I have Masters degrees in Psychology and Creative writing and am confident in using and teaching creative and academic English. I have had professional experience at Department Manager and Director level and am confident and knowledgeable in the language of business… I have helped people prepare for job interviews, practice for and pass Language exams such as TOEFL and IELTs and worked with people so that they feel more confident when speaking in every day situations.

Teaching Approach:

Each lesson will be tailored to you. We will start by finding out what you want or need to learn, what you can already do and how you like to learn. We can then make a plan for future lessons. I believe that making lessons varied, interesting and structured helps people learn and stay motivated! I use a variety of materials from coursebooks to video and audio to real-world texts and class based activities and exercises. I always give homework but also always come prepared! I offer a free half hour trial so we can get to know each other and you can see how the lessons will work.
