About Patrick
Experienced English teaching with a flexible, student-centred approach
Patrick is currently studying for a Secondary English PGCE at the University of Manchester and has three years of experience teaching English Language.
He previously taught English as a second language in Spain and Italy, supporting students with exam preparation, structured writing, reading comprehension, listening and grammatical accuracy.
Patrick's approach is organised, adaptable and built around the needs of the individual student. He believes that strong rapport makes lessons more productive and helps students feel comfortable asking questions and engaging fully with the work.
Welsh or English
English tuition delivered in either language
Patrick can deliver lessons in both English and Welsh, giving students and families greater flexibility over the language used during tuition.
This can be particularly useful for learners in Wales who are more comfortable discussing ideas, asking questions or receiving explanations in Welsh while continuing to develop their English subject skills.
English-language lessons
Full English-language tuition is also available for students across North Wales, Wales and the wider UK.
Teaching experience
Three years teaching English internationally
Patrick's previous teaching experience has involved supporting learners with both their wider English skills and focused preparation for examinations.
Spain & Italy
Patrick has taught English as a second language in both Spain and Italy over the last three years.
Exam preparation
Lessons have included focused preparation to help students understand what examinations require and communicate their ideas effectively.
Structured writing
Patrick supports students in organising their writing, improving grammatical accuracy and developing clearer, more effective responses.
English support
Building the skills students need to communicate confidently
Tuition can focus on the specific areas a student finds most difficult rather than treating English as a single, one-size-fits-all subject.
Writing
Improve structure, clarity and accuracy when developing written responses.
Reading
Strengthen comprehension and the ability to understand, interpret and respond to texts.
Listening
Develop stronger listening comprehension and confidence understanding spoken English.
Grammar
Improve grammatical accuracy and build confidence using English more precisely.
Teaching style
Positive rapport with clear organisation and structure
Patrick considers his ability to connect with students one of his strongest qualities as a tutor, regardless of their age, level or background.
He prepares carefully before lessons so that tutoring time can be used effectively, while remaining willing to change direction when a student needs a different explanation or approach.
Build rapport
A positive relationship helps students feel comfortable participating and asking questions.
Well prepared
Lessons are planned and organised in advance to make effective use of tutoring time.
Adaptable
Patrick listens to the individual learner and changes the approach where necessary.
Student focused
Tuition is shaped around what each student actually needs rather than following a rigid lesson formula.
