6:01 PM Experienced English tutor with 10+ years teaching all ages and levels. Conversation, exams, academic, and business English

Over a decade teaching English as a foreign language, in a school in Costa Rica, a language academy in Spain, and with refugees in Calais, plus current work as a top-rated online tutor for international students, including academics and business professionals. As a professional writer and editor, I have an expert command of English grammar, style, and usage. I'm patient, adaptable, and experienced with learners of all ages and levels, from beginners to advanced. I start by understanding each student's level and goals, then tailor lessons around them. Lessons are clear, structured, and interactive, balancing speaking, listening, reading, and writing with plenty of practice and conversation. I keep things encouraging and build confidence as well as accuracy, correcting gently and explaining clearly. I set realistic goals, track progress, and adapt my approach to what works best for each learner — whether that's exam preparation, business English, or everyday fluency.
