My name is Lorraine and I look forward to working with you to ensure that you can speak easily, comfortably and have flow to your conversation. For me, talking comes naturally so conversational English is my focus. Together, we will work hard at making sure that you can use your English as soon as possible. If you looking forward to improving your English go ahead and book a trial session. I was born in South Africa so Afrikaans is my second language. For the past 29 years I have been living in Toronto, Canada (a bilingual city) so I have learned basic French and American Sign Language. A few things that I enjoy in my leisure time are hiking, reading, sewing, knitting and swimming.
Me as a Teacher
For the past 35 years, I have worked in health care treating patients affected by breast, lung and prostate cancer. Instructing radiation therapy students in a hospital setting is part of my daily practice. Teaching students comes naturally to me and I coach them in communication skills to help them deal with sick patients, team skills and their technical skills.
My lessons & teaching style
Remember everyone learns differently so your needs will be assessed on an individual basis in order to progress and achieve your goal. Activities will include everyday discussions, poetry, short stories and games using learning tools such as flash cards and quizzes.

Lorraine is not just a very good teacher, but also an amazing person to have a human connection without judging your mistakes with impatience. That’s why I really recommend her classes 🙌

I really enjoyed the class today. The use of real-life examples helped make the idioms easy to understand. Can’t wait to complete our discussion on the next lesson.
