QUALIFIED NATIVE ENGLISH TEACHER (UK)

I am a highly qualified English teacher, with 15 years of experience teaching in England and MADRID.

I started the DailyStep audio email lesson service because I so often notice that, when starting their English course, my students’ speaking and listening skills are much weaker than their reading and writing skills. In my view, this is because education in school does not focus enough on communication skills. DailyStep is designed to remedy this situation by improving speaking, listening, and vocabulary. I use it in my own classes and the language and ideas included in the audio lessons often directly reflect the questions that my students ask in class.

I love teaching English and I am passionate about the English language. It is a real pleasure for me to see the development of my students’ language skills, and how a broader vocabulary and knowledge of grammar allows them to express and understand increasingly complex ideas.

My qualifications:

Cambridge CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults) from International House, London.
Bachelor of teaching - 2nd class Honours
English A-Level - Grade A
Business and Professional English - Grade A
English Language O Level - Grade A
English Literature O Level - Grade A
