Teacher Loz
Profession: Tutor
Education
I've spent around 3 years tutoring English, Irish (gaeilge), and science ( biology and chemistry) to primary and secondary level students on a one to one basis, and Irish to adults too.
Intérêts: I was born and raised in Ireland and so I have a neutral, clear English accent. I'm currently a final year medical student in Bulgaria who really enjoys tutoring along side my studies. By moving to Bulgaria and having to learn a new language from scratch I understand the importance of conversing with native and fluent speakers in order to gain confidence and a good command of using a language. I feel that my own experience in learning new languages has given me skills and a desire to help others in their wish to learn and speak English. I love travelling, exploring new cultures and meeting people from around the world, and I really can't wait to learn more about you and where you're from!
