Dear Prospective Customer,
Thank you for your interest in my one to one lessons in English language. My name is Matthew, aged 54 and I am a well-qualified teacher.
English is of course an extremely broad faculty, but my experience enables me to select key areas, plan a course for you and guarantee advancement in any student.
Prospective customers first arrange either a paid consultation (or a briefer no cost interview). The more I know in advance the better!
My teaching of English is usually one to one. I can however welcome as many 4 adults in a sitting.
At first, we will simply “speak”. I teach from an Academic Aural position [listening/ speaking English]. But I of course include written, grammatical, and technical elements (in less measure, unless requested otherwise).
* Diction & Elocution are so ‘melted’ down now, that I might demonstrate multiple pronunciations – for the same word. So, your effort to listen to my pronunciation, will be important. I was taught well in both England & Canada, and at home!
I’m also qualified to guide anyone through their professional English exams. This is a separate stream to general English. But invariably, you should start with general English.
I might look at the interpersonal & visual faculties, which you’ve built up in decoding speech. My technical foundation here, will really benefit you.
But you may be asking “Who is this guy?” Well, you’ll have to meet me to find out. Over 2000 students in the last decade already have.
Matthew Hodgins Dip, BA (Hons), PGCE (UCL), QTS (DfE)
* Diction focuses on word choice and language use, while elocution focuses on the skill of speaking and delivering those words effectively.
