Mr Jeff

I have been teaching for 17 years. Most of my teaching career has been spent in England, but I have also worked in China and Russia.

I became a teacher because I fondly remember those educators who managed to instil in me a love of learning. Language and literature are fascinating subjects! The key is for the teacher to choose the right texts. I have worked in a variety of schools: state, private, and for children with autism. These diverse experiences have helped me become a better teacher and realise that people have far more in common than differences. I have also worked as an English language examiner and now share that experience with my students. Learners appreciate teachers who help them feel successful!

BA English; QTS; DipTESOL; Diploma in Teaching Learners with Dyslexia, Specific Learning Differences and Barriers to Literacy (Distance); SCEP UCL

I am most proud of my family.

I play guitar, I like reading, and going on long walks. As far as memorable travelling experiences go, I was fortunate enough to see Lübeck in the snow.

My ambition is to learn some Russian :)
