I am qualified and have more than 25 years teaching experience, around the world.

My aim is for you to feel good when you use English. The class will be fun and interesting. I will listen to what you want to study and design the lesson for your needs.
I have extensive experience teaching business English, conversation, IELTS, Cambridge exams (FCE, PET, CAE).

Because I design lessons differently for each student it is difficult for me to tell you about your class structure. Recently I had an IELTS student and he just wanted speaking practice. We spent every class using topic vocabulary, practising pronunciation, comparing his answers to the marking scheme, and boosting his grades. He got an 8 in the speaking paper??

Another student was a university professor doing her first presentation in English at an international conference. We spent 3 whole weeks preparing her work, I learnt a lot about partical physics, and after the conference she phoned me to tell me it was a complete success.

Another student needed English for his job and found it very difficult to understand his boss who had a strong accent, and attitude. It took us a few months to work on listening comprehension and suddenly it clicked! He could understand everything his boss was saying and he now felt safe and comfortable at work, instead of being terrified of making mistakes because he didn't understand the boss.

It is helping students like this that makes me love my job.

I am looking forward to meeting you.
