Adults

I have gained much experience in training, teaching, and coaching adults with English as a second language.  

I am skilled and experienced in teaching and coaching adults in the following areas:

  • SELT
  • TOEIC
  • ESL

in the following levels (based on The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR)):

  • Beginner (A1)
  • Elementary (A2)
  • Pre-intermediate (B1)
  • Intermediate (B2)
  • Higher- intermediate (C1)
  • Advanced (C2)

SELT

For visa or citizenship applications, you may need to prove your knowledge of English by passing a Secure English Language Test (SELT).  

A SELT is a Secure English Language Test – a term used by UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) to describe the English language tests they'll accept as evidence of your English Language level for your visa application.

IELTS is accepted as evidence of English language proficiency for study, work and migration in UK, USA, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

TOEIC

TOEIC is the Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC) and is an international standardised test of English language proficiency for non-native speakers. It is intentionally designed to measure the everyday English skills of people working in an international environment.

Employers worldwide use the TOEIC test to determine who can communicate effectively in English across borders and cultures with coworkers and clients.

I assist adults in the TOEIC:

  • Listening & Reading Test and
  • Speaking & Writing Test

ESL

Teaching adults in improving and gaining confidence in:

  • Speaking
  • Listening
  • Reading
  • Writing

Testimonials

MU

I am originally from Poland and I have lived in UK for last 10years. I have mainly worked with Polish speaking people so there was very little opportunity for me to speak English and improve.  

Sheila was highly  recommend to me by friend.  Before our lessons I found it difficulties to express myself. I really enjoyed our lessons.  Sheila is very open, friendly and a very nice person. 

From our first lesson she offered help with my daily issues with the language.  She helped me to improved communication with my customers: texting, invoicing etc. 

We had a lot of fun discussing varieties of topics, food being our passion! 

Sheila encouraged me to practice my reading, writing and speaking. 

Highly recommend!

When l met Sheila l was looking for a teacher who could assess my writing skills to help me  prepare for the writing task of a C1 exam. 

She analysed my writing skills and identified different points l needed to improve. In only a few classes l could see a huge change in the way l was writing my essays. She was fantastic and thanks to her support not only l passed the task but l was  awarded a Distinction.
