# My Approach to Private Tutoring
I believe English lessons should be **practical, engaging, supportive, and built around the individual student**. My teaching is student-centred: I first identify your goals, current level, strengths, and areas where you need support, and then adapt each lesson accordingly.
As a **TEFL-qualified teacher with experience teaching children and adults**, I combine clear instruction with conversation, guided practice, real-life situations, and personalised feedback. My experience includes working in Montessori education, teaching in my own cottage school, supporting homeschool learning, and working with different age groups and learning needs.
I offer lessons in **English**, including:
* General English
* Conversational English
* Grammar
* Vocabulary
* Reading and writing
* Pronunciation
* English for work and professional communication
* Interview preparation
* IELTS preparation
I am a **native English speaker** and teach my lessons in English.
# What Can You Expect?
Lessons are structured but relaxed. We may begin with a short conversation or warm-up before moving into the main lesson focus. Depending on your goals, we might practise through discussions, role-plays, reading activities, pronunciation exercises, vocabulary building, grammar practice, or real-world scenarios.
I believe mistakes are a normal and necessary part of learning, so I create a supportive environment where students can speak without fear of being embarrassed. I provide clear corrections and constructive feedback while encouraging students to become more confident and independent.
# Who Are My Lessons For?
I teach **beginner to advanced English learners**, including children, teenagers, and adults.
Whether you want to improve your everyday communication, strengthen your grammar, expand your vocabulary, become more confident speaking English, prepare for an interview, develop professional English skills, or work towards an IELTS goal, lessons can be adapted to your needs.
**Your goals are the starting point, and your progress is the focus.**
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
I highly recommend Simi as an English tutor. She is patient, kind, encouraging, and genuinely cares about her students’ progress. She creates a calm and supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable, confident, and motivated to learn. Her lessons are well-prepared, engaging, and adapted to each student’s level, goals, and learning style.
What stands out most about Simi is her ability to explain things clearly and make learning feel less intimidating. She has a warm teaching style, but she also brings structure, consistency, and professionalism to every lesson. Whether a student needs help with speaking, grammar, pronunciation, reading, or overall confidence in English, she takes the time to understand their needs and help them improve step by step.
She is the kind of teacher who truly wants to see her students grow, and I would confidently recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and supportive English tutor.Simonne is a highly experienced teacher. She has been involved in the education of numerous children over the years. These children have grown to become effective in the community at large due to having the skills to achieve their personal goals. I believe that her experience will benefit any learner who wants to improve their proficiency in the English language.
