Upon completing my CELTA qualification I devised and delivered English lessons to private clients on a one to one basis. Lessons were specifically tailored to the needs and requirements of the language learner based on careful assessment of their knowledge and capabilities in a comfortable and friendly environment to ensure that students reached their goals and potential as outlined prior to commencement. The goal of the lessons was to allow students to feel confident in using English language and to explore new ways to develop language skills with support and feedback. Excellent language skill acquisition achieved with all students who surpassed their own expectations.

I have recently completed a 2-year assignment as an English Teacher at the Oxford School of English in Lisbon. This role required me to effectively plan and deliver lessons to students varying in all ages and abilities from beginners to upper-intermediate level language learners and from nursery age children through to adult learners. I have experience of teaching nursery age children, young learners and adults in both group and one to one settings. It was my responsibility to assess the needs and capabilities of students and ensure that specific goals are achieved as a result of tailoring lessons to the requirements and needs of language learners.
