Bel J

Bel qualified as a teacher of English in 2003 after a succesful career in Occupational Health. Bel has experience teaching English learners of all ages and levels. Bel teaches General English, English for Business and Professional purposes and Young Learners. Bel has also tutored students in preparation for a variety of examination courses such as IELTS and Cambridge.

Bel lives with her husband Bill in a charming and comfortable house. When not teaching, Bel is involved in charity work in her local area. Bel's husband, Bill, is a computer analyst and together they provide a warm welcome for their students. Bell is in her fifties and has three children who have grown up and moved away from home.

Bel prepares a personalised English language study course for her students, set at the correct level – elementary, intermediate or advanced – and clearly focused on the key areas students want to improve. For example, students may want intensive practice of their speaking and listening skills, or they may wish to improve their grammar, pronunciation, writing or some other area. One to one home tuition sessions with an experienced tutor like Bel produce excellent results in improving students’ English language skills in those areas that need attention.

The Homelingua experience also has the great benefit of offering students total immersion in the English language during their stay, with plenty of opportunities for conversation practice and the use of everyday English outside lessons. Students find themselves joining in mealtime conversation, going on shopping trips and sharing social occasions in a very natural way. The combination of intensive one-to-one home tuition and extensive exposure to real spoken English enables students to make excellent progress in their English language and communication skills in the shortest possible time. It also offers a warm and in-depth experience of British culture and traditions.
