This is a no pressure trial lesson. Let's have a nice chat and get to know each other. You can tell me your needs, I can give you some guidance and you can get a feel for my style and see if it matches with what you're looking for. I'm looking forward to meeting you. See you soon :)

If you're studying to pass your IELTS then you'll know that an important part of the test is speaking. These classes are ideal for those of you who are at any stage of your IELTS journey and even for those of you who want some last minute practice before your upcoming test.

I will give you valuable tips, improve your fluency & coherence, lexical resource, grammatical range and pronunciation. I'll do my very best to help you get to the point where you can pass the test with confidence while getting a good score in the process. 

Materials will be provided along with a document to keep track of our lessons to help you review and practice what we have learned.

I look forward to teaching you!

IELTS Speaking Test Preparation

This course is designed to help you improve your overall communication skills in English. In this course, you'll receive engaging, interactive, relevant and thought-provoking materials to help you build your active vocabulary, fluency, pronunciation, intonation and confidence in English. While the emphasis is on speaking, you will also develop your reading and listening skills. If you'd like to spend some time on writing, we can do that too.

Primarily, our classes will be all about giving you the opportunity to practice speaking on a wide variety of relevant and interesting topics. I will guide and prompt you when needed, always listen carefully, take notes, provide feedback and support to help you overcome any hurdles and build on your English.

In addition to the live class sessions, I'll provide you with pre-class activities, post class review material, and I'll also be happy to answer any questions and give feedback, advice and tips outside of class hours.

Whether you're an intermediate or an advanced English learner, these lessons will help you develop the skills you need to communicate confidently and effectively in English. 

Join me today and take the next step towards mastering English!

I'm looking forward to our first class together :)

Structured English Conversation Course for Adults (materials provided)

I hear it a lot..."I think my English reading, writing and listening are OK, but when I try to talk I can't think of the right words and I start making mistakes." This is most likely because you don't have a chance to speak English regularly. You spend most of your time studying, watching videos, reading books, listening to music and podcasts, but very little time actually speaking English. 

The solution: Spend at least 30 minutes, as little as 2 or 3 times a week (the more the better), chatting in English with me.

In this class, you will have the opportunity to talk with me on anything and everything.  I'll encourage you to speak as much English as possible, while giving you useful feedback and corrections during our lessons, in a supportive and constructive way.

For this class I will not prepare or give you any materials, however, you are welcome to prepare and provide your own. It's therefore more of a show up and chat style class. If you want me to provide you with materials then please choose my structured English course.

I welcome and encourage you to take the next step forward and start improving your spoken English here with me.

I'm looking forward to our first class together :)

I look forward to working with you!

English For Professionals: Business English

Is your kid learning English? Are they spending most of their time studying grammar? Do you want them to improve the most important part of a language skill; speaking? 

I have plenty of experience working with children. I used to teach at a Montessori school and at some private children's language schools. I'm playful and can motivate your children to speak more. Children are like sponges, they soak up a language so quickly. All they need is to be immersed in it. 

I will create an immersive, interactive and fun conversation class for your child. We will learn and enjoy ourselves at the same time. 

No homework, no pressure, just learning a language in a fun and natural way, the way it was intended.
