Claire Ellis

Are you a professional who finds it difficult at times to hold a conversation with friends or colleagues in English? If so, I am here to help you to build to a level of confidence that will enable to you to be respected in your field of work whether you are speaking to other Europeans or to ‘native’ English speakers. If you join me, we will discuss your goals and any fears you may have with speaking and then how to bring you to the next level.

I teach using maaterials from Off2Class. When choosing to study with me, all students receive a private Student Account from me. You can log in to your account to view your ESL Lesson Plans. Off2Class is a professional learning platform, that will help you improve your English:

Don’t waste time studying things you already know. All new students can complete a comprehensive ESL Placement Test to identify your personal strengths and weaknesses. The test will generate an English Gap Analysis and Language Level. Using the Gap Analysis, we will make a unique English Learning Plan for you. Log-in to your private account to review lesson resources and complete homework or tests. You can access your account from your laptop, smartphone or tablet.
I have an extensive library of professional English lessons that match your learning needs. We can cover speaking, reading, listening, grammar, business English, idioms, IELTS and much more!

I am a qualified teacher and have many years of experience in teaching. How can I help you to improve your fluency in English? It seems hard at the moment, but it will get easier as we work together. Where do you need some support? At work, with studying, chatting to people, for travelling – or for children, in the school setting? When we meet, we will discuss your goals and how I can help you to meet them. One-on-one personalized lessons are the best way to go about this and we will work together as a team, using a selection of excellent teaching materials, depending on whether the classes are for a child or an adult. I offer a programme of personalized lessons to cover your needs – we can work on conversational skills, grammar aspects, report writing, preparation for the IELTS exams or any other skills to ensure you are clear and coherent in all forms. A lot of the learning is achieved through guided conversations where you can tell me about topics that interest you, in English.
