Hi, I'm Alan. I'm a CELTA qualified English teacher from the UK with a clear Scottish accent (it's a really easy accent to understand). I also have a BA (Hons) degree in Language Studies, English and Spanish. I can help you improve your English for your career, to pass an exam or for simply travelling the world! I love meeting and talking to people from all around the world and learning about different cultures. I can also speak Scots and Spanish. I love travel, music, sport, languages and photography. When I'm not teaching I'm usually travelling, with every country I visit I love to learn some basics of the local language and test it out with the local people. .
Ik als leerkracht
I like to create a relaxed environment when teaching. It's important for me to get to know my students as I firmly believe that I can tailor each lesson to the individual student's interests and skill level. From my years of experience I have developed an easy-going lesson style and I have learned many techniques to help you improve your language skills. I have taught people of all ages and backgrounds. I have experience teaching business people and preparing students for IELTS examinations. I also have a background as an experienced technical English writer mostly for engineering purposes. This includes many years experience in proofreading and a vast knowledge of business English.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
I teach using the communicative style of teaching, which means that my student is doing most of the speaking for the vast majority of the time. This makes my lessons more interesting for my students. I use a variety of different teaching materials to keep the lesson fun, engaging and interactive. I can tailor each lesson to the individual student's interests and skill level. I use online resources like Google docs, YouTube and other websites to make our lessons as interactive as possible. Most of all I think my lessons will be fun and will help improve your English.

Today I had a trial lesson with Alan. We discussed the goals I want to achieve (learn the Scottish accent and become more fluent). He listened very carefully and asked me many questions. He is a very patient tutor and personal. I had a wonderful trial lesson with him and I am looking forward to our next lessons!
