Approach |
Approach:
Before planning my lessons, I like to sit with my students, assess their needs, and create a plan that will enable them to achieve their goals. Each lesson is then specifically tailored to the needs of the student, and therefore adaptable to any changing needs that they may have. As an experienced language teacher, I’m skilled in teaching students of all ages and nationalities, and pride myself on building a rapport with my students so that they feel comfortable and confident in my presence. Games and activities are an integral part of the learning experience which particularly helps younger learners or learners who are tired of traditional teaching methods. This means that my students not only look forward to their lessons, but also feel safe making mistakes and asking questions, which I consider to be an integral part of the learning experience! I am also adept at building mature students’ confidence using support and encouragement to create a comfortable and positive learning environment. Student progress is continuously assessed so learning outcomes can be adjusted to meet the needs of the student to ensure they are meeting their personal goals.

Very good teacher, Masha Allah
Miriam tutored my two sons their age are 1 and 6 respectively. She is AMAZING English teacher and really helped them improve. My boys always enjoyed their class. We are very happy with the excellent progress they made with her teaching. Both of their school teachers in school said about how good they are doing now. Thank you.
Miriam helped me to edit and complete my final year thesis. Although the thesis subject was finance. She wouldn't do any writing herself but helped me with the work I had created. She worked closely with the university guidelines I was given to ensure that my thesis met the requirements. This included citations and referencing. As I live in Ireland, she created a flexible package of online classes and editorial sessions. Miriam's support and confidence helped me during a stressful time. With her tutoring, I was able to get the grade I needed for my thesis. I highly recommend Miriam to anyone who needs support in university writing.
Miriam helped to encourage and motivated me to write up my research proposal. She is very knowledgeable with academic writing and help guide me. She is very supportive and was undeterred by any obstacle that came up during our sessions. I am so glad I came across her and her support was instrumental to my completion of my university research proposal. Many thanks.
Worked with Dr Miriam two years ago when I needed writing support for university. She really helped me organize, write and edit my essays for my modules. She also really helped me with referencing and understanding how to use sources fluidly in my writing and reference them correctly. My university course was business, but her help was invaluable to helping me do well and achieve my degree. She is very knowledgeable, caring and friendly. She is the best English teacher/tutor I have ever worked with.
Miriam was recommended to us by another parent. We were initially hesitant because her prices are a little higher than some English tutors. But after one lesson it was clear to us that she is worth every dirham. She is the best English teacher.
Very dedicated, passionate, well planned and monitors progress closely. Helped my son meet his goals. Fantastic English teacher.
Excellent English tutor. She helped my daughter (Year 6 – British Curriculum) immensely, and we have seen improvement in her marks and confidence. Miriam worked closely with the school topics to ensure that she supported my daughter in their lessons. She really helped her understand her schoolwork and was able to explain concepts in a way that my daughter was able to understand and use when in school. My daughter always enjoyed her classes with Miriam. She is a very approachable and kind teacher; my daughter always felt comfortable and happy to learn from her. My daughter loved her lessons and always told me how fun they were. As a parent, I appreciated how communicative Miriam was. The day before the lesson, we would inform her of topics my daughter was struggling with in school, and she would cover them in class the next day. Miriam would always send me detailed feedback explaining what she taught in the class, how my daughter performed and other important information. Miriam is a very special teacher, and I can recommend her highly enough.
Miriam has been helping my child with phonics and early reading. She is a fantastic teacher who teaches in a fun and relaxed way. My child really responded to Miriam, and there has been an enormous progression in her English. Miriam always tells me how to help my daughter and what needs to be practised from their lessons. She is a lovely teacher who really cares about her students. Thank you, Ms Miriam, for not just teaching but also caring.
Ms. Miriam is an excellent English teacher. She is very helpful and accommodating. Under her guidance, I was able to achieve a score of 8.0 in the IELTS exam.
Ms. Miriam is an amazing teacher who likes her job and really works very hard. I mostly like the way she prepares for the classes and the way she uses to deliver the information. She is one of my best teachers.
Dr Miriam has been helping me with my academic writing skills from my postgraduate course. She has been invaluable in helping me achieve high grades, teaching me how to write academically, how to structure an argument and how to site my research correctly. She is extremely patient and I always enjoy learning from her.
Miriam was my son’s teacher when she lived in Ireland and I can say she is one of the most caring and hard working teachers he has ever had. He always looked forward to her lessons and I saw amazing progress when she was teaching him. She specifically catered for his needs and made sure to build his confidence in English. I definitely recommend Ms Miriam’s classes for any age group.
Very prepared, specialized plans and lessons. Helped me meet my goal. Highly recommend.
Miriam has been tutoring my son for the last few months, and what I love most is the energy and enthusiasm she brings to each lesson. She really took the time to get to know my child, and to assess the areas he most needed work on. My son looks forward to his lessons with her, and her wealth of experience and qualifications help to assure me that my child is receiving the highest quality tuition.
Ms Miriam Walsh is an amazing English Teacher. You never realise you’re learning with Ms Miriam, she makes learning English fun. She always takes the time to correct my grammar and as an EAL person, this is very helpful.
