Jocelyn S
TEFL-Certified English teacher with two years of online tutoring experience
Hi, I’m Jocelyn. I’m an Architecture student from Bristol, and I go to Cardiff University. I was previously volunteering as an English teacher at a Bilingual Academy, on my year out living abroad in Seville, and I also completed an Architecture Internship when I was there. For the last two years, I’ve been tutoring students of all ages. These have ranged from pupils preparing for curriculum exams, to learning English as their second language.
I have always made sure to be sympathetic to students' situations, and am flexible with lesson lengths and times. I make every effort to accommodate your needs and targets as a student, to ensure we approach the lesson in a way that works best for you. My aim is to facilitate your learning development with interactive lessons that you can fit into your schedule, without making you feel overloaded.
Having a family background in education has inspired me to gain my TEFL qualification, which has given me the knowledge to be able to teach a range of lessons within the subject of English. These include: Business English for a workplace setting, conversational English, grammar and preparing for curriculum exams, to name just a few.
During lessons, lots of speaking is key, as I thrive on being able to build a good relationship with my students. I’m young and enthusiastic, and always welcome questions. If this approach to learning feels like it could work for you, or you’d like to discuss your objectives in more detail, please feel free to book a trial session. I look forward to meeting you.

Qualified, TEFL/TESOL teacher, more than 30 years of teaching experience
Me as a Teacher
I am a professional English teacher with more than 30 years of teaching experience mainly in US - NYC and UK - East Midlands. Initially as a college English and Maths teacher, these days I teach online. My learners are students who tend to improve their school grades, students who are preparing for international exams, business professionals who work or intend to work for international companies or people who learn English for pleasure. For every individual I usually prepare some tasks for a free talk, grammar practice or a role-play situation with targeting vocabulary and phrases. There is always a summary, a given feedback at the end of the class which helps my learners to make progress highly visible.
My lessons & teaching style
I believe that every learner is different and teaching them should be personalized. I like to apply different teaching methods to see which one would be the most productive. Of course, I need to meet student several times to be able to find out his/her learning style and be able to create a teaching strategy. In my experience, an individual approach, a personalized topic and mutual effort definitely bring some fruit.

Real English for Global Minds and Culture + Travel Lovers
Move and Shake Your English with Jane on a language and cultural journey.
Do you want to use real English to connect with people, explore culture and travel with confidence?
I’m an English Language Coach from Northern Ireland and been teaching English for over 20 years, in Japan, the Caribbean, Europe and now online. My teaching style is warm, natural and focused on helping globally minded learners use real-life English with more ease and meaning.
Over the years, with my CELTA qualification I’ve worked in all areas of ESL and as a Director of Studies, but I now focus on what I love most: helping people MOVE & SHAKE their English, not just speak it better or learn more grammar and vocabulary, but feel and experience English.
If you're someone who enjoys meaningful conversations, exploring different cultures and reflecting on how English can open doors in your life, this is the right place for you.
My lessons combine thoughtful conversation with practical vocabulary and lots of natural speaking practice. They’re relaxed, focused and designed to help you express yourself clearly, not perfectly. After all, language is about connection not perfection.
✨What is Move and Shake Your English?✨
It’s my personal approach to English learning that blends language, culture and self-expression. It’s for curious, open-minded learners who want to grow, connect and share through English.
In my classes you will find:
- Engaging, conversation-based lessons
- Interesting real-life and cultural topics
- Natural, everyday English
- Optional preparation tasks
- Personalised feedback and tips
- Support and encouragement every step of the way
Let’s Move & Shake YOUR English — together.
