  • Comprehensive Teaching Experience

    I have taught English to students from many different parts of the world, whose language I speak and also whose language I don’t speak.  I have helped children to read and write; I have taught young people who struggle with dyslexia; I have assisted adults who want to be able to write better and improve their job prospects.  I have also prepared many students for their GCSE English exam.  This broad experience gives me a solid grasp of what it takes to succeed at every stage of learning.

    Alongside teaching, I am a fully trained Public Services Interpreter and offer professional translation services. This deep understanding of complex vocabulary and detailed grammar greatly informs my teaching methods, ensuring you receive the highest standard of tuition.

  • A Warm, Personalised Approach

    It is incredibly important to me to offer a highly personalised service. If you visit my home for a lesson, you can always be assured of a warm welcome, my complete, undivided attention, and a nice cup of tea!

We couldn’t recommend Elizabeth enough!

She was Taylor’s English tutor and from the very beginning they got on so well. Taylor always felt comfortable and relaxed during her sessions, which made such a difference to her confidence and attitude towards English.

The sessions were friendly, engaging and tailored to Taylor’s individual needs. Taylor made really good progress while working with Elizabeth and her confidence improved so much. She genuinely looked forward to her sessions, which says a lot!

Elizabeth was patient, supportive and really easy to communicate with, and we were so pleased with the results. We’re really grateful for all the time and effort she put into helping Taylor.

I would highly recommend Elizabeth to any parent looking for a kind, encouraging and knowledgeable English tutor.

Frequently Asked Questions

I am highly flexible to your needs. Lessons generally take place at my home but can take place in a classroom setting, at your business premises, or in the comfort of your own home across the Norwich and Norfolk area. I can also offer online lessons or a hybrid mixture of in person / online lessons.

? I teach all levels! Whether you are an absolute beginner from a different country, or a local needing to prepare for GCSE, or have any other requirements when it comes to literacy/English, I tailor the lessons entirely to you.

Not necessarily! We will work together to understand your requirements and identify a learning plan. We are free to use whatever materials we decide together, as the entire process is a collaborative partnership.

My passion for languages is vast! I hold a degree in German and Spanish from the University of East Anglia, I speak French fluently, and I am bilingual in Italian and English. I also provide professional interpreting and translation services across these languages.

As each individual learns at a different pace and wants to achieve different levels, this is difficult to determine. However, as the teaching is individual this can be addressed as you progress.
