My background

I am an enthusiastic, caring and highly experienced tutor in Academic and Professional English. My strengths lie in my ability to empathise with students from diverse backgrounds and in effective techniques for speaking, listening, reading and writing, as well as business correspondence. Currently, I am working towards my doctorate in Education about conversation and also teaching online. I have taught in Britain, Germany and Hungary and am based in Hertfordshire/North London. I was born in London and English is my first language. I speak fluent German, good French and intermediate level Hungarian. I recently started learning to speak a few words of Mandarin.
