About Heidi

With over extensive experience in English language training, I am a British Council certified IELTS trainer and a TEFL/TESOL qualified English tutor. I specialize in helping students develop confidence, clarity, and accuracy in English through structured yet engaging lessons tailored to individual needs.

My teaching approach is practical and student-focused. I combine strong foundational learning in grammar and vocabulary with active speaking practice, real-life communication tasks, and exam-oriented strategies. This ensures that students not only understand the language but are also able to use it effectively in everyday situations, academic settings, and professional environments.

Each lesson is typically 60 to 90 minutes long and is carefully planned to include revision, new learning, guided practice, and feedback. I place strong emphasis on interaction, correction, and continuous improvement so that students can see steady progress in their skills and confidence.

I have experience teaching Spoken English, IELTS, OET, SAT preparation, and general communication skills to learners of different ages and proficiency levels. My students include school and college learners, working professionals, and adults seeking to improve fluency or achieve specific academic and career goals.

I design my lessons to be practical, interactive, and results-focused so students don’t just learn English but actually start using it confidently in real life.

My teaching approach blends clear structure with active speaking practice. I focus on building strong foundations in grammar and vocabulary, but the main emphasis is always on communication. I use guided conversation, role-plays, pronunciation training, exam strategies, and real-life scenarios so students can apply what they learn immediately. For exam students (IELTS, OET, SAT), I also include targeted strategies, timed practice, and detailed feedback to improve accuracy and scoring.

A typical lesson lasts 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the student’s level and goals. Each class usually includes a quick review of previous learning, introduction of a new topic, interactive practice activities, and a short speaking or writing task with corrections and feedback.

I am a British Council certified IELTS trainer and TEFL/TESOL qualified English trainer, with experience in teaching Spoken English, IELTS, OET, SAT preparation, and general communication skills. I have worked with students from different age groups and backgrounds, helping them improve fluency, confidence, and exam performance.

Details

My tuition fee is €10 per hour, kept intentionally affordable to make high-quality English language learning accessible to a wide range of students, while still maintaining a structured, professional, and results-driven teaching approach.

Each lesson follows a clear, well-planned structure designed to ensure steady progress and maximum practice within the time available.

A typical lesson includes:

1. Warm-up & Revision (5–10 minutes)
We begin by revising previous learning to reinforce retention. This may include quick speaking questions, vocabulary recall, or short grammar reviews to build confidence and continuity.

2. Introduction of New Topic (10–15 minutes)
A focused explanation of the day’s topic, whether it is grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, or exam strategy. Concepts are explained in a simple, practical way with real-life examples to make understanding easier.

3. Guided Practice (15–20 minutes)
Students actively apply what they have learned through structured exercises, speaking activities, or writing tasks. I provide step-by-step support to ensure correct understanding and usage.

4. Free Practice / Communication Activity (15–20 minutes)
This is the most important part of the lesson where students use English more freely through conversation practice, role-plays, discussions, or exam-style tasks depending on their goals.

5. Feedback & Correction (10 minutes)
Detailed feedback is given on pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structure. Mistakes are corrected in a supportive way, with clear explanations on how to improve.

6. Wrap-up & Homework (5 minutes)
We summarize the lesson and set small, focused tasks to reinforce learning between sessions.

This structured approach ensures that every lesson is purposeful, interactive, and designed to build fluency, accuracy, and confidence step by step.
