Frequently Asked Questions

What are your qualifications?

I have a Post Graduate qualification in Teaching and a specific  qualification in Teaching English as a Second Language, Business English and Pronunciaiton. I also have a masters in Creative Writing and a masters in Psychology.

How do you customize lessons for each student?

I personalize lessons by finding out what you can already do, what you want to learn and why. I then tailor the lessons and homework to your goals and interests. We will use a mix of materials and methods, including real texts, video and audio. I also encourage students to bring real-life situations to the class for us to practice, for example job interviews or specific conversations or texts.

Will I need to do Homework?

Yes! it is always a good idea to practice between sessions. How much you do depends on your time and motivation. Homework can be as simple as listening to a podcast or audio for 5 minutes, recording and practising new vocabulary. It can also include more specific skills such as writing or exam preparation tasks. It entirely depends on your goals and interests.

Harriet is incredibly patient and kind, with extensive experience in teaching pronunciation, grammar, and speaking. Not only do I have great fun learning with her, but I also feel I’m on the right track to improving my specific weak points in English.
