In this 30 minute lesson, you can tell me all about yourself and your goals for learning English.

You'll have some speaking and listening practice with me, and I will check your level.

I look forward to meeting you!

Practise speaking English with a friendly teacher! 

No preparation, no homework, just bring a coffee and let's practise speaking and listening in English.

General English course

Personalised lessons for your specific goals - for example, exam preparation, academic skills, a focus on pronunciation or, English for specific jobs and professions.

For these lessons I will spend around 1 hour preparing for each hour of teaching, so the price of the lessons reflects this. For cheaper lessons with me, please take a look at my Conversation and General English lessons.
