Carl Halford

My lessons are designed to be engaging, purposeful, and truly learner-centred. Whether you’re preparing for a big exam like IELTS or OET, building confidence in speaking English, working through the Cambridge iGCSE curriculum, or improving your Business English for the workplace, I’ll tailor each session to your goals, pace, and learning style.

Lessons typically include a mixture of real conversation practice, targeted skill-building (reading, writing, speaking, and listening), and structured feedback—always designed to keep you progressing and motivated. I also integrate exam techniques, practical vocabulary, and plenty of opportunities to use English in meaningful, real-life contexts.

You won’t find rigid or one-size-fits-all teaching here. I bring over 20 years of experience in international education and leadership to the classroom, along with a genuine love for teaching and helping others grow. My goal is simple: to help you feel more confident, more capable, and more equipped to use English in ways that matter to you—whether that’s passing an exam, thriving in your studies, or communicating powerfully in your career.

Above all, I aim to create a relaxed, friendly, and respectful learning space where you feel safe to ask questions, take risks, and make real progress.

If you’re ready to take the next step with your English, I’d love to work with you.
