There are many different types of English teacher. In a classroom situation you are usually stuck with the English teacher you are given. When it comes to private tutoring you are in somewhat of an enviable situation as you are able to choose the English teacher to suit yourself or your child.
English teaching can cover multiple disciplines, for example:
- Creative Writing
- Composition
- Literature
- Poetry
The area and level that you or your child are currently at will dictate the experience requirements and capabilities of the English teacher you select.
Make sure you choose an English teacher in consultation with your child to ensure that they feel involved in the process and it isn't being forced upon them.
