Description: Helen is a qualified English (TEFL) tutor with over 10 years’ experience of teaching both adults and children of all ages and of varying levels. Here’s a snippet of her tutor profile.
Teaching online has several advantages for learning. I type all the corrections during the lesson which flash up on the screen. This works really well for visual learners. I can quickly share definitions of words or phrases along with their phonetic spellings to aid pronunciation.
As it is possible to access the chat history on the go, the lessons can be reviewed from anywhere. Additionally, I record the corrections from the lessons, so you can listen to all previous lessons. Repetition is key in learning a language, and utilising these methods enables the learner to go over the same lesson as many times as they’d like.
Every person is different, and I tailor the lessons to the student’s particular needs and interests to help the individual reach their goals.
