Introduction:

Advanced and professional English Language instruction

Hi, my name is Matthew. Thank you for taking the time to read my introduction.

I am a committed and passionate teacher of English who has taken many steps to become effective at instruction. I have studied teaching at post-graduate level and completed a CELTA certification course.

I have over three year's classroom teaching experience gained in three different countries to date. I realize that we are all individuals and have our own needs with regard to life and learning. I aim to address each learner of English as an individual with their own specific requirements. Someone told me one time to make yourself invaluable you must specialize in one particular aspect in your field. I have made it a mission to specialize in exam preparation.

I have studied a foreign language before myself and understand it can have a positive impact on your life, career prospects as well as gaining access to another culture.

I sincerely wish you all the best with your language progress and hope to see you soon!
