Qualified and experienced teacher to help you use English in life and work

I'm a professional Londoner who really enjoys seeing students get better at using English.

I have a Cambridge Celta qualification from International House, London. This helps me to really understand the areas that students find difficult and use techniques to explain the language in a way that makes sense.

I focus on teaching English in a way that will help you practically (for example, in work, studies, social life).

I've taught classes of students from all over the world. As I've worked in many different offices and businesses, I can also help you understand how to communicate in English speaking offices.

Lessons are fun and focused on the key elements of speaking and pronunciation, listening, grammar and reading.

All you need to bring is enthusiasm to learn!

I am qualified as a teacher by the International House in London, and I hold the CELTA certificate. This is my approach in classes with you...

1. Talk, talk, talk (and talk even more): you'll do 80% of the talking in class. It's the only way to gain confidence, to improve understanding, to identify errors and to learn quickly. It helps us to make sure we suggest new vocabulary, ways to express yourself more naturally and concisely in English and with accuracy. I get you to express what you think and what you feel about lots of different daily topics.

2. Homework: I will suggest things to focus on in between classes. But, you are an adult and it's not school. It's up to you whether you do it or not, and I understand learning a language on top of a job and other responsibilities isn't easy. But, it's possible!

3. I focus on context a lot: It's the way to give life and meaning to learning English if you want it to stay in your mind.

4. Reading and meaning: you'll read materials aloud related to the language you are learning to ensure you understand the meaning and also to practice pronunciation.

5. Listening and meaning: you'll listen to different accents via materials which will help you understand how different people speak and reinforce meaning and context.

6. Writing and clear expression: depending on your ambitions and goals, I'll guide you on writing short texts on topics you've already been learning, and can help with structure.
