These classes will be enjoyable and may include games or quizzes. If a student needs additional resources it will be messaged before the class.
All we really need to start is a pen, pencil and a book for writing.
Students are welcome to join at any time, and previous writing skills will be helpful but will not be necessary.
Each student will set a small reachable goal for writing each week giving them confidence in their writing experience.

As a teacher, I will also give some examples of writing and stress some ways to improve their own writing skills.

We will include vocabulary, comprehension, grammar and punctuation.
The only requirement to join is a willing attitude to write.


About Me: 
David Teacher of English Language - Reading, Writing and Presentations.

My teaching ethos is to inspire and motivate individuals, dignifying and educating them about the benefits of nutrition, cooking, music, and especially English, very special gifts of life. 
My classes are so much fun, relaxed, enjoyable and educational.
As a teacher, I like to get the families involved in the learning process if that is their preference.
I also teach food and nutrition classes for all ages, music classes, English classes and Individual Flute or guitar lessons too. 

My learning environments are innovative, interesting sometimes inspiring but most of all a joy to learn. 
For one year I taught English to Russian children at an international college in Marbella Spain, the students were able to use their English skills and join the mainstream classes in order to understand many other subjects in the school including my Food and Nutrition classes I also taught in the college.

I have also taught children from the age of 5 to 12 including adults the benefits of English in Granada, Spain both at a school and in the local town hall.

Presently I have been teaching English to children in China online for almost two years and have many progressive students in my classes due to my teaching methods.

When I am not teaching I love to play the flute, classical guitar and cook nutritionally exciting meals in my chef's outfits.

I look forward to joining you in class.
Try a lesson and enjoy!

    Profile
    Teacher expertise and credentials
    I have been teaching over 6  years and have an excellent reputation for inspiring students to improve either in Food and Nutrition, Music but especially English. I have taught in international college students from numerous cultures and languages. I was nominated at a high school in England as having a positive influence on the school and students. I have been teaching English online for a while and have a TESOL certificate qualifying me for teaching students English as a second language. My personality is always patient and kind to all my students and this has often resulted in bringing out the best in those I teach. English is my native language. I have also taught privately in Spain in a local school, students from the age of 4 to 8, English and Adults as a second language too. I love to teach English as this is an important aspect of global education today.
    My ethos in teaching is to inspire, encourage and motivate students as they learn so that they enjoy their lessons and have fun too.
    
    Additionally, I teach how to play the flute and guitar and teach this in a unique way tailor-made to every individual student needs and sense of fun.
