Hi,

I am a qualified tutor, and I am here to help you improve your English skills. I have been tutoring for nine years. My absolute passion in life is teaching, and every student (child, teenager, adult, university, ESL, dyslexic, intellectually impaired) that I have worked have all improved dramatically. I make the learning process interesting and enjoyable.

Please read my student reviews, and you will see the difference a good tutor makes. You will get results.

I have helped hundreds of students improve their grades and gain confidence. No assignment is too hard to tackle. I have tutored early learners, primary and high school students, University students, adult learners, ESL, General Managers and I have assisted several dyslexic students and intellectually impaired students with my specialised phonic programme.

Help is at hand.

If you require a quick edit on your original piece of writing, or essay help, I can assist you by email. I am very quick to respond. Email editing help is only $35 per hour. My face to face rate is $64 an hour and I teach live by Skype, Zoom or any other platform you wish to choose.

With weekly tutoring, you will see solid progress. My teaching style incorporates a multi-learning approach. In our first lesson, I will establish your learning style and conduct an English test. Knowing your learning style (there are three ways we learn) makes a huge difference to school, work and beyond.

The English test is a quick quiz. I can discover your weakness, and we tackle that first. You will get on-going, step by step support in spelling, grammar, writing and comprehension. Many of my long term students have been on my programme for 1-2 years and even moved countries, and we still maintain weekly tutor sessions online by Skype.

My lessons are innovative and fun. I am a patient, kind and engaging teacher with a good sense of humour. I teach you all the tips and tricks and get you practising.

Dyslexic Students: I am specially trained in working with dyslexia and offer a phonics-based programme. Phonics builds a lasting foundation. Understanding phonic principles and knowing how sounds and words go together will decode English in an easy and understandable way.

Meeting Place: As we are currently in various states of lockdown, I offer private tutoring sessions in real-time on Skype. I can help with assignments, essays, writing techniques and ESL support with conversational English and practical English lessons - writing, comprehension, grammar, spelling, oral, visual.

My promise to you is always to provide invaluable feedback and action steps for improvement week by week.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Experience

9 years tutoring an age range from 5 years to 50 years. I have taught early learners, primary and high school students, University students, ESL students, adults and General Managers, who struggle with email correspondence and general writing, primary and high school students, university students, and early learners who have a need for solid phonic principles and a good foundation. Whether its adult learning, business and management up-skilling skills required or a programme for dyslexic students, I can tailor a programme to suit you. I tutored a student who lost her ability to read and write after a car accident. She made excellent progress with a solid 3 month programme with sessions 3 times a week and regained her confidence and is now back to work. I hold a TESOL Certificate, Quantum Phonics Certificate and completed my Certificate in the Fundamentals of English (University of Qld). I have strong skills in ESL teaching methodology and above all, I have a passion for teaching and helping you improve. Please reach out to me by email - stephtravelwriter@gmail.com
