I’ve been teaching since I was 16! So for over 14 years. What qualifications do you have? BA Honours English Language and Linguistics, MSc Education: TESOL, Cambridge CELTA. Can you teach me English? Sure! Just take a look at my website for more information // IMPORTANT Any links containing are affiliate links and I earn commission through these links. I teach using just one of many accents in the world. Please only learn it if you like it and if you are interested in learning it. I do not believe there is one “correct” accent or manner of pronunciation and I fully encourage EFL/ESL learners to expose themselves to as many varieties of English around the world to become accustomed to the beautiful variations of this world language. I focus mostly on teaching “Modern RP” (I may just say “RP” in my older videos, but to clarify, I do specifically mean “Modern RP”), however, you will hear a lovely little Yorkshire twang to my accent from time to time too. Please LOVE and BE PROUD of your accent. After all, it is part of your identity and makes you unique. 💚 Thank you Preply for sponsoring this video! :) #englishpronunciation #englishteacher #englishlesson
