Passionate English Tutor with Proven Results
I'm Julia, a native English speaker from England. I have a neutral accent which helps people understand me and learn.
I am an experienced Coach of English as a Foreign Language, and qualified to coach Adults.
I am qualified to Post-Graduate level and have classroom, face-to-face and online experience of coaching Adult Learners.
I love helping people to grow their confidence speaking English. I am supportive, and I encourage people to speak without worrying, as I know what it is like to be a learner of another language and to try to speak to people in their own language – I have lived in Germany, Turkey and Spain.
