Nicola Proctor

My lessons are friendly, engaging and designed around your individual goals. Whether you want to improve your conversational English, prepare for a Cambridge exam, strengthen your grammar or feel more confident using English at work, I will create lessons that suit your level, interests and learning style.

A typical lesson includes a clear objective, an introduction to the topic, guided practice and plenty of opportunities to use English independently. I use authentic materials, visual resources, conversation, role-play, listening activities and practical examples. I explain grammar clearly and show you how to use it naturally—not simply memorise rules.

I am a native British English speaker, CELTA-qualified and have more than 20 years’ teaching experience. I have taught children, teenagers and adults at all levels, including students preparing for Cambridge KET, PET, FCE, CAE and CPE examinations. I also have experience supporting students with different learning needs.

My approach is patient and encouraging, but lessons are always purposeful. I provide constructive feedback, correct mistakes sensitively and help you recognise your progress. Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable speaking, asking questions and learning from mistakes.
