Hi my name is Roisin, but please call me Rosh and I am a native English speaker from Northern Ireland, UK.
I was a childrens nurse for 20 years and spent the last 10 years specialising as a nurse teacher. I have lots of experience teaching nurses from many different countries and I have a Postgraduate Certificate in Teaching and Assessing.
I have lived and worked as a nurse in Manchester & London for 20 years, spent 6 months in Guernsey in the Channel Islands and 3 years in Doha, Qatar. I returned to live in NI in 2021 and have been teaching English online for the last year. It's been a big career change, but I'm delighted to do a job I thoroughly enjoy!
To continue to improve my teaching skills I successfully completed a CELTA course in July 2022. I am a passionate teacher and will make sure the learning environment is relaxed and friendly. I like to ensure you have lots of opportunities to talk and never worry about making mistakes as this is how we all learn.
Here are some direct quotes from my previous students:
"It's always great fun. And today was also fun. Thank you very much."
"Thank you for taking my English and work concerns seriously and giving me some advice! I'll put it to good use."
"The teacher's pronunciation was beautiful and fluent."
I offer mostly conversational classes on general English, business English and medical/healthcare. During my career I have given a lot of presentations, written policies and interviewed numerous staff so I am able to help with any questions you have in these areas.
Finally, I love travelling and have been to around 30 countries, I even done some solo trips! In my spare time I love reading, watching crime detective shows, walking, going to the gym (on good days) and going to bars/restaurants with friends. I also enjoy cooking, I will try anything. I don't play sports but I love to watch Ireland in the Rugby.
I am looking forward to chatting with you!

It was the third time to take her lesson. We could talk various topics, and enjoyed much with her. I recommend to take her lessons. I think any level of people can enjoy her lesson.

She gave them very naturally and at the end, from her, I noticed that I did not send her any material for conversation topic, although I had said her to send them. Like this, she is a person easy to talk with. I would like to continue to take her lessons.
