English Language Tutorself-employed - Athens, اليونانI taught English to children and adults in Athens in small groups and one-to-one lessons. I worked daily with students who were at different levels and who had different interests, goals and needs. This taught me to be flexible and adapt my strategies, methods and materials to suit each individual. It also gave me confidence in my knowledge of grammar and my ability to teach it effectively. Finally, I learned that preparation and consistency are important for a successful lesson.

Course LeaderNewcastle College - Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, المملكة المتحدةI taught small groups of students with learning difficulties. I also designed a curriculum and course for my students. This was a valuable experience since it helped me develop effective strategies when teaching students of all levels of ability. It also helped me find ways of differentiating and personalising my delivery to suit each individual student's needs. Lastly I learned how to design and develop programmes of study. All these aspects will help me in my future teaching practice.
