About Thornton

Hello! I have a strong academic background, including a First Class BA Honours in English Language and Literature (Trinity College, Dublin), an MA (scholarship, USA) in English and American Literature, an M.Litt for my postgraduate work at Oxford University, and more recently a second MA in Communication and Library Sciences. This obviously informs my teaching and students benefit from my range of experience as well as crucially correct standard English pronunciation which they often comment on! I have extensive experience teaching a wide varitey of adults online (10 years) as well as sound classroom experience.

I mention my qualifications mainly for transparency and reassurance — not because I believe prestige matters more than individual enterprise. What matters most to me is creating a space for each individual student's learning journey, where they can feel comfortable and become increasingly enabled expressing themselves in a variety of real life contexts whether through speaking or writing, formally or informally. I welcome their making mistakes as a fundamental part of this process. I tailor classes to each individual student's needs. I have lived abroad in the past and understand the challenges of mastering a second language!

My approach is tailored to the needs of each individual student.

However, I believe that language is best learnt by using it. My lessons are based on meaningful ground work followed by personal discussion assisted and supported by appropriate grammar, vocabulary and phraseology. A typical lesson with me involves working on topic/s and in environments that is/are currently central to your English learning needs and interests, and then diving deep into this topic's correlations and applications in English supported by a range of English language tools. I may ask a student to prepare for this, either a small written or verbal piece, or to conclude and assimilate by watching a short video for homework.

I already work this way successfully online with a wide variety of students and have done so for many years. I find that student based learning like this allows the student to take ownership of the language tools s/he needs while personalising and therefore embedding them in their psyche. I am now expanding beyond a single platform to work more independently with students who value depth and personal attention.
