During this Trial Session we will get know each other. We will be able to talk about your interests, expectations, your language learning needs and your goals. If you prefer, I can also offer you a free, online placement test. This will enable us to identify your strong areas and the areas which you need to build on in order to achieve your language learning goals. Shortly after the trail lesson you will receive lesson activities and materials for our first full lesson.

Hi. 
I like to plan my lessons based on your interests and your goals, so, whatever your level of English, it is my aim to work with you and to help you grow in confidence and ability and enable you reach those goals. You may just want to improve your conversation or you may need to take an examination that includes all aspects of English such as pronunciation, grammar, speaking, listening, reading and writing. I can help you achieve these by providing you with a variety of resources that are engaging and interesting such as online activities, visual materials, reading and comprehension activities, worksheets, podcasts, games, interactive activities, recent news articles and more. In preparation, I will provide you with an activity to do prior to any lesson. If you wish, I will also supply you with homework after each lesson in order for you to reinforce what you have learned.

General English: Whatever your level!

These lessons are perfect for Kids at Key Stage 2 (aged 7 upwards) or Teens who are either new to the English Language or already have a fairly good understanding of English but may be working to grow in confidence and improve their English, or they may be following a syllabus towards an examination such as National Curriculum SATs KS2, KS3, 11+, 13+) or a school entrance exam.
 In order to help your child improve their English, I will design lessons that meet your child's needs, interests and abilities. I use a variety of resources in order to make lessons fun, enjoyable, engaging and interesting such as online activities, visual materials, reading and comprehension activities, worksheets, podcasts, games, interactive activities and more; again, depending on age and ability. I will supply your child with homework after each lesson in order for them to reinforce what they have learned and I always go on to give a student feedback once their work has been assessed. Prior to any lesson, I will provide your child with an activity to complete. 
 I look forward to meeting you and your child and will contact you before the lesson to discuss your child's level and plan the lesson accordingly.

English for Kids (KS2 & KS3: Ages 7 - 19)

During these sessions, we will cover a variety of topics in a conversational way in order to encourage you to explore and use your knowledge of English and to enable you to grow in confidence. 
Please note that no materials and activities will be sent to you prior to or after these conversation only sessions. However, material of interest will be supplied during the lesson to generate discussion.

Conversation Practice

In these lessons, we work with past exam papers, students build on and revise their current knowledge of General English, Grammar, Comprehension and Verbal Reasoning (English). They are able to put learning into practice and prepare for a SATs style, 11+ or a School Entrance, English paper. 
These lessons are more expensive than other lessons that I have available due to the cost of preparation, resources and the time spent (in addition to the lesson) assessing any mock exam/test papers that they have completed.

English Exam Prep. SATs, School Entrance exams, 11+ English and Verbal Reasoning

IELTS specific lessons in all four areas of Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing.
Materials will be provided both before and after each lesson so that the student can go on to practise and reinforce what they have learned during the lesson.
Assessment and Feedback will be given for any activities.
This all sounds very formal but lessons will be fun, using a wide variety of resources.
