About Esther
My name is Esther and I am from the UK
I enjoy delivering interesting and engaging lessons to motivate my students and to help them to learn effectively. My aim is not only to teach English but to help my students progress in the English language and to help them reach their goals.
I have had many years of experience in teaching English. I have taught children from the age of 4 to 15, professional adults, business English (B2B and B2C) and I have also helped students to prepare for their IELTS exam.
I am patient and an excellent communicator which I believe to be essential qualities in a teacher. I am also very adaptable and cater to the needs of each individual student.
In conversation with Esther
Could you tell us a little about yourself?
Of course. My name is Esther and I am from the United Kingdom. I have had many years of experience teaching English, and it is a career I have always found genuinely rewarding.
Who do you typically teach?
A real mix, actually. I have taught children from the age of four right through to fifteen, as well as professional adults. I have worked in business English, covering both business-to-business and business-to-consumer contexts, and I have also helped students prepare for the International English Language Testing System examination.
What is your aim when teaching a student?
For me, it is not just about teaching English as a subject. My aim is to help my students genuinely progress in the language and to support them in reaching their own personal or professional goals, whatever those might be.
How would you describe your teaching style?
I try to make my lessons interesting and engaging, because I think motivation is just as important as method when it comes to learning effectively. I am also very adaptable, and I make a point of catering to the needs of each individual student rather than taking a one size fits all approach.
What qualities do you think make a good teacher?
Patience and strong communication, without question. I believe those two qualities are essential, particularly when you are working with students who range so widely in age and ability, from young children to business professionals preparing for a formal examination.
What can students expect when working with you?
A lesson that is tailored specifically to them. Whether someone is a child just starting out, a professional needing English for their career, or an adult preparing for the International English Language Testing System exam, I adjust my approach so that it genuinely suits their goals and the way they learn best.
