Elizabeth T.

A qualified English Language and Literature teacher, I have over two decades of experience of teaching English, both in the UK and abroad (predominantly in Asia – Hong Kong, Japan and Vietnam). With a long-standing interest in the arts, I have a broad knowledge of world literature and media, in addition to excellent familiarity with the classics, such as Shakespeare, Chaucer, Dickens, Austen, the Bronte's etc. as well as a range of poetry. 

My MA in linguistics enables me to confidently support A-level, English Language students.

My approach to teaching is student centred, so in addition to reviewing materials, for the specified exam, I like to find out a bit about my students in terms of what they are trying to achieve, and the areas they feel they need most support in. Most of my recent tutoring experience is with English language and Literature at A'level (AQA and OCR). My masters in Applied Linguistics gave me a good grounding in textual analysis, and the fundamentals of grammar and discourse analysis etc. which I have built on in my teaching career, working at secondary and Further Education level, as well as supporting university students in the arts and humanities.
