Chirne D - Tutor in Faerie Glen

English is a funny language! I love it. Academic development is my passion and I can help you achieve your goals. I have a BA (Hons) in Creative Writing in English and have experience as an English lecturer for Home Language as well as FAL. However, I am able to assist learners of any age to master their language skills. I believe that teaching is about understanding the learner's individual needs and learning style. I can create learning material and lesson plans that will help you learn and develop at your own level. No challenge is too daunting, and no lesson too difficult, when you approach it the right way! Learning can be entertaining, interesting, and enriching - I can prove it. Ready?

    I have experience as an English lecturer. This included all aspects of the role, from curriculum design to lesson plans and assessment. I am able to create learning material for you as an individual to assist you with learning in your own unique style. Additionally, I understand assessment and the importance of not only knowing the content, but also how to answer questions and to use that knowledge for academic development and achievement.
