Good day. My name is Alex Morrison. Prior to becoming an English teacher, I was an Instructional Designer and Learning Management System developer and, as with most good things in life, I stumbled onto my passion for teaching when I was asked to tutor a few South African students during the COVID pandemic. I immediately fell in love with teaching but my passion has always been the English language. As a result, I subsequently decided to bite the bullet and obtain my 420-hour, Level 5 TEFL Diploma, which I successfully completed in April 2022. I have been a full-time English teacher on ClassGap since the end of April 2022. I was completely caught off guard by the enquiries that I received and I have been blessed with many bright and eager students, especially from all over Spain, which enabled me to complete 1100 successful lessons within my first year and almost 2500 in two years. My methodology is to focus on each student's individual needs and objectives and to customize my lesson plans accordingly. I am proficient in assisting students in improving their Business English, fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, and most crucially, their self-confidence. I also assist in exam preparation for Aptis, Cambridge First Certificate, Advanced Certificate and IELTS (Academic and General) and I am proud to say that I have been privileged to assist many students in passing their exams. Two of my biggest passions in life are interacting with people from different origins and walks of life, as well as helping students learn and grow. My career choice has not only helped give me these interactions but also gives me the joy of seeing students realise how much they've progressed in their choice of language. I have found through experience that people learn more effectively when they are actively engaged in creative activities that ensure learning comes naturally. To enable this, I have a thorough conversation with each of my students and their parents (if applicable), to find out exactly what their aims, goals, hobbies, likes and dislikes are so that I can ensure that all the content and activities are truly centred around the student and their individual wants, needs and learning styles. Before I started teaching on ClassGap, I was tutoring my students in person in one-on-one lessons. Unfortunately, that restricted me to my current geographical area, limiting my contact with people from different cultures or countries. I believe that a teacher can, in some respects, learn almost as much from a student, as the student can learn from the teacher. I believe this enables me to connect with more students than I would otherwise have been able to. So if you are eager to improve your English, or, if you feel that you or your child will benefit from extra tutoring, please do not hesitate to contact me for further information.
