ABOUT
Hello! My name is Jamie McGeorge and I'm an English language consultant living in Schiedam, the Netherlands. I'm originally from Jefferson City, Missouri (USA) but have been living and working abroad for most of my adult life. I've been involved in ELT for nearly two decades through teaching, examining, examiner training, education management, test items writing, teacher training and syllabus/course/materials design.
I hold a B.A. in English Literature as well as a Cambridge CELTA and DELTA. I am a Cambridge Main Suite Examiner as well as an examiner and examiner trainer for another renowned English language exam. Besides exams and examiner training I'm also a CELTA main and assistant course tutor (face to face, online and mixed mode; intensive and extensive courses) as well as a DELTA local tutor. I was a CELT-P and CELT-S tutor before those courses were discontinued.
Having taught and assessed a variety of learners and levels in the US, Asia and Europe, I have an understanding of language based not only on global standards, but on an appreciation of the subtle ways that different cultural and professional backgrounds affect motivation and communication. With extensive experience in assessment and materials design, I aim to deliver engaging courses, classes and materials tailored to the needs of individuals or groups of all sizes, levels and ages.
