I am an English native speaker with 30 years experience teaching English. BA Honours degree in Eng Lit. Oxford

A language is learned through speaking, so my lessons involve a lot of speaking practice where you will have the opportunity to express your ideas and gain greater confidence and fluency.

Our aim is for you to become bi-lingual. This will involve some reading and listening homework assignments and a lot of speaking time during the lessons.

We can design a series of lessons that will fit your needs. Our initial introductory lesson will give me the opportunity to assess your level and your specific language requirements.

For Business English students, we will work on the specialised language needed in communication, negotiation and diplomacy. We will cover all aspects of communication, developing verbal and non-verbal skills such as accent/ body language/ tone of voice.

The lessons are friendly, and I like to develop a real and trusting connection with my students, where you will soon be able to express yourself and your ideas with ease.

The breakthrough happens when you start thinking and dreaming in English. Then you will know that you have truly mastered it. It might not take you as long as you think to get there. I'm here to support and encourage you on that journey.

Lessons are weekly and if possible twice weekly. They can be arranged at a time that fits into your work or after work schedule, but it is important to keep it regular. Consistency is the key.

The lessons are 55 minutes in length and I will send you a short summary of your personal targets at the end of each lesson.
