My passion lies in helping students reach their full potential!
Hi, I am Oliver Harrington
Your Personal English Coach
I’m a graduate of the University of Leeds, and I’ve spent over 10 years teaching English to students from all walks of life.
I’ve had the privilege of working with renowned institutions like the British Council and International House, where I helped learners improve their English for personal, professional, and academic purposes.
Empowering Students Through Language: My Teaching Philosophy
My approach to teaching English is deeply rooted in my belief that language is more than just a skill - it's a bridge to new opportunities and personal growth. Every student brings their unique goals, and I tailor my lessons to help them achieve those aspirations, whether for career advancement, academic success, or simply gaining confidence in communication.
Over the years, I've seen the transformative power of personalized teaching, and I am committed to creating a learning environment where students feel supported, challenged, and empowered.
Key Elements of My Teaching Philosophy:
-
Personalized Learning: I adapt each lesson to meet the individual needs and learning pace of my students, ensuring their unique goals are prioritized.
-
Interactive & Engaging Lessons: I believe in active learning through discussions, real-life examples, and interactive activities to make the language more relatable and memorable.
-
Building Confidence: My primary focus is helping students build confidence in their ability to communicate effectively in English, whether for personal, academic, or professional purposes.
-
Growth-Oriented Feedback: I provide constructive and actionable feedback to help students understand their progress and areas for improvement.
-
Cultural Awareness: I incorporate cultural nuances in language learning, helping students navigate not only the language but also the context in which it’s used globally.
