I gained my CELTA in 2020 and I have been teaching English ever since, sometimes on-site at St George's International, a North London College, but more often, online, at home, which I really enjoy!
My method; I like to keep to a lesson plan, but only because that gives a class a good structure, making it simpler for students to understand the small part of the language we are focusing on. I keep it interesting by using various tools, like videos, audio tracks, images and games etc.
Aside from teaching I'm an actress and voiceover artist, - I have a strong interest in film and the arts, and occasionally it's fun reading dialogues or using stories/ scripts with students.
I also travelled quite a lot in my twenties, and love to learn about different cultures and interests, - I'm interested in what you want from the English language.

Polly is the best tutor I have ever met! I would be happy to have an all-day lesson if possible. I have tried many tutors on this platform and others; I could not have imagined she would have such a great teaching style.

As usual Polly manages to gently challenge my (decent) language knowledge with suitable tests and exercises capable of pushing me to the next level. I really enjoy her way to teach

Polly is a very motivating and challenging teacher. She is an absolutely bubbly personality. It's an English lesson with a lot of fun and a great structure. The time flies far too much. Everythime I'm looking forward to the next lesson.
