Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 28 Sep 2018InterestsArtReizenReading
I am a British native speaker and moved back to the UK a few years ago after living, studying and teaching for many years in several countries.
I love travelling and teaching English. I have had a lot of experience of living abroad and understand how hard it can be to learn another language. I was born and brought up in the UK, but I have lived and been a foreign language student, in Denmark, Russia, Poland and Spain. I also lived for a long time in the USA.
I have a first class honours degree in Fine Art, love road trips, hiking and camping and enjoy sharing experiences and stories with the people I meet from all over the world.Ik als leerkracht
I am a professional, highly qualified English language teacher with both CELTA and DELTA qualifications and many years of extensive English teaching experience. I have taught a wide range of language learners of all levels and nationalities, privately, in schools and universities, in companies, summer camps and one-to-one.
I have been a Cambridge oral examiner and have taught FCE, CAE and CPE with excellent exam results. I was also an Assistant Director of Studies in Poland, where I provided support, training and observation of teachers. I have taught in-company Business English classes for CEOs and administrative staff and English for Tourism when I lived in San Diego and Barcelona.Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
I want to help you improve your CONFIDENCE and FLUENCY. The best part of my job is seeing you achieve your goals and progress in lessons that are enjoyable and focused on your needs.
In our first lesson, we will spend time talking about your goals. We will talk about what you would like to learn and improve and why you need or want to improve your English. Then together, we will work towards those goals in lessons that are designed around your individual, specific needs.
Every student is different, so our lessons can be structured in different ways but will always contain a lot of speaking practice and will focus on both fluency and accuracy.Mijn lesmateriaal

Helen is a great teacher and a very nice person! We practised speaking, job interviews, IELTS writing. I received a lot of feedback, advice and materials to improve my knowledge both as homework and in my spare time. Extremely supportive, always prepared and flexible to adjust lessons to meet different needs. It was a pleasure, and I'll definitely continue to work with Helen!

Helen is one of the best teachers I’ve ever had. She’s genuinely nice, very open and intelligent. She is supporting and has lots of ideas how to move forward and improve whatever your goals are. She helped me to pass my IELTS and also with my university application. I can highly recommend her!

I've been preparing for CPE for more than 2 months with Helen, and I must say she is THE BEST teacher ever! She always listens to what you need and what your goal is, no faffing around! We just do the tasks I need to achieve my goal. I'm sure, if I do well in my exam, it will be thanks to my teacher! I will 100% recommend Helen to everybody! I'm dead set on preparing for IELTS with Helen!

Helen is my no.1 English teacher/instructor, my lessons with her are very relaxing so I feel comfortable to speak, ask questions and not afraid to make mistakes and she is always helping me to correct them with clear explanations.
I love the fact that we can use everything around us as a topic to discuss, share opinions and learn English at the same time.
Recently, I was exceptionally busy and I've just realized my package with her was about to expired but she was generously extending my package for one more month without hesitation. Thank you again Helen!😊
