 It is more intense, and I give a lot more in this type of lesson. In this lesson, you might be required to read texts and listen to movies that may challenge you a bit, depending on your needs and requirements.

I do not do any formal teaching of grammar - but I do teach grammar that comes up in conversation.

You might need/wish to do a little homework and write some short essays on occasion in order to ensure that you are focussing on conversational grammar and working through the subtleties of the meaning of words. 

Any texts that we use will help you to improve pronunciation and fluency, whilst increasing vocabulary. Homework, if you wish to do it, also includes watching and discussing Youtube/TEDx videos - series or films.

Remember that 3/4 hour lessons and packages are even more of a bargain!.

Build vocabulary, improve conversational grammar and pronunciation, distinguish word subtleties.

Have you ever engaged with different cultures, and wanted to understand them better?  We work through the English associated with different cultural approaches, and how to understand others from the point of view of aspects such as:
- honour/shame cultures
- time-based versus people-based cultures
- efficiency versus community
And so much more. 
This lesson will give you the tools to handle conversation with other cultures in a meaningful manner from someone who is proficient in cross-cultural engagement.

Cultural Expertise

Start at the very beginning with pictures, videos, fun activities and reading to rapidly reach A2 level. Know nothing about English? No worries! I'm here to make learning easy for you.

Beginners English

A primary course on pronunciation, without using confusing phonetic symbols. Improve your English pronunciation in any area of life: business, medical, general conversation, or just for your own interest. I will focus on RP - or something close to RP, which is clearly understood by people all over the world. 
We will read, converse, and listen, but you have to be prepared to have more than one lesson a week, and to work outside the lesson time on your pronunciation.

English Pronuciation (British RP)

I studied the treatment of people who had physical, mental and perceptual difficulties. Throughout, we had extensive practicals, and much supervision.

I studied Greek, Hebrew and the dissection of texts, as well as marketing, philosophy, psychology and counselling and far more.

I took a TEFL certificate through TEFL Training, and gained my certificate after having stated teaching English to others.

I worked with students of English in the UK and in South Africa, both in formal and informal settings. I taught general conversational English and business English, drawing on a wealth of experience in the business arena.

I worked in the business arena for many years, training many in soft skills. There after, I started a business of my own, and ran it for three years.  It was a holiday company, so I have experience in starting and running a business. What I don't have is specific, high-level IT or accounting experience. However, I can teach Business English from the point of view of experience and further learning.
