Carla

Hi, my name is Carla.

I am a TEFL certified teacher with a background of working in education for over 15 years. I have worked with students of all ages from 10 years old up to adults. I also have a lot of experience tutoring learners with disabilities and learning difficulties. I am fluent in British Sign Language.

I like to tailor my teaching to each learners specific needs. I also strive to make lessons fun and engaging.

In my spare time I like to go for long dog walks, crochet and bake. I am also learning German so I understand what it is like to be learning a new language!

Thank you for looking at my page, please get in touch if you are interested in a fun and engaging style to improve your confidence and language skills.
