About
Sylvia Guinan
I am a professional English Language teacher, with a Degree in English literaure, a higher Diploma in Education, and T.E.F.L qualifications.
I've been teaching English for fifteen years in Ireland, and mostly in Greece.I've been running my own offline tutoring business for seven years.
Over the years I've taught people from many walks of life, and pride myself on my ability to understand my students and lead them on their path to success.
I've taught at primary and secondary school level. I've taught literacy skills to adults, and have a great interest in dyslexia and learning disabilities.
In the private sector I've taught doctors, university professors, university students, engineers, housewives, kids and teenagers of all ages.
I also specialise in exam preparation, and have had great success with students in Cambridge proficiency, Cambridge first certificate, ielts, toefl, toeic, michigan, etc.
As I live in Greece with my Greek husband and four bilingual children, I also teach my own kids English and have a great interest in bilingualism. As you can see, teaching is not just a job for me, it's a way of life
.As a teacher I believe in giving students the tools to create their own success.
