My teaching style is as conversational as possible for your level.

I teach grammar from the ground up, but once you understand the basics, I focus on your specific mistakes in conversation. I remind you why we say things in English the way we do.

New vocabulary flows naturally from the conversation. I like to choose topics that interest you. If you like the topic and know something about it in your language, you're more likely to stay engaged and remember the English vocabulary.

Pre-intermediate and intermediate students will typically spend 30% of the lessons working on grammar.
I teach upper-intermediate students and above in a more organic way, with grammar making up only a small part of most lessons.

I enjoy getting to know my students and learning what they like and don't like. It's not just the student who is learning; it's the teacher too!

I always remember that I'm teaching not just a language, but also a culture. Culture strongly influences the way we speak.

Although I am a native Londoner, I lived for a period in the US and some time ago I lived for a short period in Spain.

My English is standard English, and my accent is Received Pronunciation.
