Are you ready to unlock endless possibilities? Discover the power of English with me, Teacher Des and Guru English, your friendly and knowledgeable language guides.
Whether you're a High school or University Student, a Business Professional, or simply looking to improve your conversational skills - I've got you covered!Me as a Teacher
Learning a foreign language can be a challenge, but with my expertise and more than 5 years of teaching experience, I can make it an enjoyable and rewarding experience!
I am patient, kind and focus on accuracy above all. I use a wide variety of materials and each lesson is suited to your individual needs.My lessons & teaching style
With a focus on three key areas—Grammar, Vocabulary, and Pronunciation—I'm here to help you build a solid foundation and gain confidence in your English skills.
First, let's talk about Grammar. It forms the foundation of any language, and mastering English grammar will boost your communication skills.
Next, Vocabulary. Words shape our thoughts and ideas, and a rich vocabulary is the key to effective communication. Through activities and resources, we'll expand your word bank.
Lastly, Pronunciation - It's vital for clear communication. We'll work on perfecting your pronunciation, focusing on intonation, stress, sounds, and accents.My teaching material

Des is well organised and has a clear idea of the lesson plan. However, it is flexible in making off-topics when required.

DES is really a very dedicated teacher with rich teaching experience. I know that teaching HANNAH is a very hard job. HANNAH is a very rebellious child. We can't teach her, but teacher DES makes everything go smoothly. , This is a great 60 minutes. Thank you DES teacher!
