About the tutor

Hello! I’m Lu, an experienced and passionate English teacher with a strong background in teaching English as a Second or Other Language. With over five years of experience, I’ve taught learners of all ages and backgrounds, bringing enthusiasm, adaptability, and expertise to every lesson. I hold a Master’s degree in TESOL from the University of Liverpool and a CELTA certification from International House London. I am currently pursuing a PGCE in Primary Education at Durham University, further expanding my skills in teaching and classroom management. My teaching experience ranges from leading summer courses at EF Claire College to teaching K-12 students in China. As a full-time ESOL tutor offline and a part-time ESOL tutor on Preply, I have taught students aged 3 to 65 from diverse backgrounds, including Ukraine, Hong Kong, and Germany. I tailor lessons to meet each student's unique needs using communicative teaching methods and differentiated instruction. I focus on creating engaging, student-centred lessons that build confidence and practical language skills. I integrate speaking, reading, writing, and listening activities to ensure well-rounded language development. Whether you want to improve conversational English, prepare for exams, or boost your professional skills, I’m here to help. I’m passionate about fostering an inclusive, supportive learning environment. I look forward to guiding you on your English learning journey! Feel free to reach out to schedule a trial session – I can’t wait to connect!

Teaching methodology

My teaching methodology is student-centred, fostering a supportive and engaging environment where learners feel confident to express themselves and grow. I believe in tailoring lessons to meet individual needs and using differentiated instruction to accommodate various learning styles, abilities, and goals. I incorporate communicative language teaching (CLT), encouraging students to participate in discussions actively, roleplays, and real-life scenarios to build fluency and confidence. I design lessons that integrate speaking, listening, reading, and writing to ensure well-rounded language development. Creating a positive, inclusive atmosphere is essential in my classroom. I emphasize collaboration, allowing students to share their experiences and perspectives, enriching the learning process. I also use ongoing assessment and feedback to monitor progress, celebrate achievements, and adjust lessons to maximize growth. By making learning interactive, relevant, and enjoyable, I aim to inspire curiosity and a love for language that extends beyond the classroom.
