I have an undergraduate degree in Linguistics and a Master's diploma in Teaching English as a Second Language. In spring and summer, I normally teach and host for 3 different Language schools in the UK. I can teach and prepare my students for their Cambridge English exam. I can also help to enrol them at the exam centre. I can arrange to meet my student at the airport or train station of arrival and departure. The fee stated above is for both journeys.
