About Derrick
Hi! My name is Derrick, and I’m excited to be your English tutor. Before coming to France I spent 11 months helping refugees improve their English at my local library. It was very a rewarding experience, and I hope to create a similar environment with you!
My personal hobbies include reading, fishing, and video games, so feel free to ask me about them anytime! Personally, I believe in a give-and-take approach to learning, where we both contribute to the experience. Besides English, I also have knowledge in History, Science, Politics, and some math topics.
Together, we'll embark on an exciting learning journey. I’m here to support your growth in English and beyond. Let’s make our studying fun and engaging by sharing our interests. I can’t wait to explore and learn with you!

My Teaching Approach and Techniques
As an English language tutor, my approach is centered on making learning both engaging and effective by tailoring lessons to each student's specific needs and goals. I believe in the power of personalized instruction, where lessons are designed to build on your current abilities while challenging you to improve.
My teaching techniques include:
Communicative Language Teaching (CLT): Emphasizing real-world communication and practical language use, ensuring you can apply what you learn in everyday situations.
Task-Based Learning: Using activities like role-plays, discussions, and writing tasks to practice language skills in context.
Grammar in Context: Teaching grammar as part of meaningful language use, rather than as isolated rules, to help you understand and use it naturally.
Listening and Speaking Focus: Prioritizing listening and speaking exercises to build your confidence and fluency in real-life conversations.
A Typical Lesson Plan
Each lesson is structured but adaptable to meet your individual learning style:
Warm-Up and Review (10 minutes): We start with a brief review of previous lessons and a warm-up activity, such as a short conversation or a quick writing exercise, to get you thinking in English.
Introduction to New Material (15 minutes): I introduce new vocabulary, grammar, or language skills using real-life examples, visuals, and interactive activities.
Practice and Application (20 minutes): You’ll engage in activities designed to reinforce what you’ve just learned. This might include role-playing dialogues, writing short texts, or listening to and discussing audio clips.
Feedback and Correction (10 minutes): We’ll review your work together, focusing on what you did well and areas for improvement. I provide constructive feedback to help you progress.
Recap and Assignments (5 minutes): I summarize the key points of the lesson and assign practice tasks, like reading, writing, or speaking exercises, to reinforce learning until our next session.
What Sets Me Apart as a Tutor
What makes me stand out as an English tutor is my commitment to understanding your specific language goals—whether it’s improving conversational skills, preparing for an exam, or mastering business English. My lessons are highly interactive and customized to your interests, making learning not just effective but also enjoyable.
I bring enthusiasm and creativity to each session, using a variety of resources such as multimedia, authentic materials, and real-life scenarios to keep lessons fresh and relevant. My focus on building confidence and providing ongoing support ensures that you feel motivated and capable throughout your language learning journey.
My English language lessons are ideal for:
Non-native English Speakers: From beginners to advanced learners who want to improve their speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills.
Students Preparing for Exams: Those aiming to excel in TOEFL, IELTS, or other English proficiency tests.
Professionals: Individuals needing to enhance their English for work, including business English, presentations, and email communication.
Travelers and Expats: People preparing to travel or live in an English-speaking country who want to improve their practical language skills.
In essence, my tutoring is for anyone eager to enhance their English language abilities, tailored to meet your unique learning style and objectives. Together, we'll work towards making you confident and proficient in English.
