Right from childhood I have loved English language and this love always led to scoring high grades in my English language and Literature-in-English exams. I was always the best in my class. It was not... surprising then when I decided to take a degree in Linguistics and English at the university of Ghana where I completed with a first class honors. After my studies at the University I gained employment as English Language tutor at a secondary school. I taught English language and Literature-in-English for ten years at the Senior High School level. Those years were very exciting for me because of the joy of seeing my students pass their English language final exams each year! During this period , I was also involved in marking the final exams of students. Working as an assistant examiner, I assessed scripts of students at the national level. When we moved from my home country-Ghana, to the Netherlands, my first job was a volunteer teacher in an organization called English Academy for Newcomers,Groningen. During my one year teaching period there, I gave lessons to refugees from countries like Syria and Ukraine, who were preparing to write their IELTS exams. Aspects covered by this teaching program included Reading, Listening, Writing and Speaking. I am glad to mention that our students successfully passed the IELTS exam and were able to move on in life. I wrote the IELTS exams last January and passed with an overall band score of 7.5 and CEFR of C1. read more

Hi, I am Diana Amon-Armah and I live in Groningen in Netherlands. I am originally from Ghana in West Africa. I have always loved tutoring since my days at the university. I was involved in tutoring co... urse mates who were having a hard time understanding what was taught during lectures and explaining the concepts to them in my own way. What was unique about my tutorials was the ability to explain things in the way they would be able to grasp the concepts easily! The tutorials were usually informal in settings, very relaxed and yet very effective in achieving the desired results. My course mates always loved these tutorials. My tutoring philosophy is that teaching must be both fun and yet effective and of course engaging. What I love about tutoring is the joy it brings me at the end of the day, seeing that I have contributed to increasing someone’s knowledge of the subject! When I am not too busy with work or family, I love to sing and make new clothes for myself and loved ones!read more
