Hello! My name is Tammy and I am from the UK. I live in North East England. I have been an English Language teacher since 2008.
I'm a highly qualified teacher and linguist. I have an English Language Teaching diploma, as well as BA English Language, MSc Applied Linguistics and MA Foresnsic Phonetics (speech and pronunciation).
When I'm not teaching English, I also train other teachers, and I work as a speaking examiner. I also work as an accent and dialect coach with actors.
I'm passionate about music, travel and culture. I love learning about other peoples' interests and lives, and all about their home countries.Me as a Teacher
I'm a patient, friendly teacher. Tell me about your goals for learning and we can work towards them together.
I work as an examiner, so if you have an upcoming English test, I can give you a realistic idea of your level, and help you prepare for an exam such as IELTS.My lessons & teaching style
Lesson 1: I'll assess your level and find out about why you are taking the lessons.
Conversation lessons: We'll focus on developing your vocabulary, speaking, listening and fluency through conversation.
General English course: Improve your English level generally. We'll work on:
- speaking and listening

The lesson was very good, we talked a lot and I learned some new words.
Unfortunately we had some technical problems but we found a solution.
Thanks Tammy
