Personal Description:

Dear student, my name is Zhany and I would like to tell you a bit about myself.

I am an English tutor qualified by Trinity College London and I have approximately 10 years experience as a private English teacher.
In my long years of teaching, I have worked with people who have different levels of English and personal backgrounds. The biggest challenge in my job has been to adapt all my teaching methods to the specific requirements of my students. So far, I have been very successful in this and the vast majority of my tutees and I have worked together very effectively.

I am offering online lessons via Skype or in person in Sheffield. I will provide all the materials you need for your lessons so you do not have to purchase any books unless you want to. You will also benefit from my neutral accent and clear pronunciation. I offer lessons for general English, business English, exam preparation for IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, FCE, CAE, pronunciation classes and conversational classes as well as job-related and academic English. I also specialise in proofreading up to PhD level.

On a personal basis, I am reliable, punctual and enthusiastic. I have a friendly and mature attitude towards my students. I hope to be your tutor of choice. I promise you, I will do my best to help you advance in your English abilities.

Please contact me with any questions. I will get back to your promptly.

Thank you.
