Our trial lesson will focus on us getting to know each other and seeing if we're a good match! You will be able to practice your conversation skills and tell me your goals and expectations as a student. I will also give you corrections, feedback, and teaching if you would like me to, so that you can get an idea of my teaching style.

If you are looking for IELTS preparation, I will use this trial lesson to assess your current Speaking band score, and we will discuss your goals and desired study plan.

Please message me if you have any questions, and I hope to meet you soon! :)

Like a chat with a friend, but educational! :) We can talk about anything you'd like; if there's a particular topic/video/article you'd like to chat about, please send it to me ahead of the lesson. If not, I'll pick something myself and we'll see where it takes us. I have lots of lesson plans ready with short readings and conversation questions about topics like travel, food, age, money, beauty, as well as more specific topics.

We can also just talk freely if that's what you prefer

I give constructive feedback throughout the lesson, including corrections, relevant grammar teaching, vocabulary, pronunciation and intonation, idioms, and natural language.

Homework can also be given after the lesson if you'd like.

Conversation (Topics or Free Talk)

I offer in-depth IELTS preparation lessons tailored to your level and goals.

In our first conversation, I will assess your current band score, and we can go from there. I will provide practice papers and we will work through them during lessons while I provide all the tips, test-taking skills, and feedback you need to achieve the band you want.

Most students need the most help in the Writing and Speaking sections, so after we confirm that your Reading and Listening levels are up to the band you need, we will focus most heavily on Writing and Speaking. If you need to bring your Reading and Listening bands up first, we will start there.

I'll give you homework to consolidate what we have learnt if you would like it and you have time. If not, we will practice and consolidate in class.

Throughout your exam preparation, we will always refer to the official IELTS band descriptors so you can understand where you can still improve and why it is important.

I will be supporting you every step of the way, so you can be comfortable in the knowledge that every lesson is helping you get closer to the band you need and the life of your dreams.

IELTS Preparation (Intermediate+)

I offer Business English classes with structured lessons that cover skills from introducing yourself and accepting/declining invitations, to expressing ideas in meetings and interview skills.

I'll give you lots of opportunities to talk about your own job and role, and to discuss things happening in your company. I'll give you constructive feedback throughout, like corrections, grammar teaching, and relevant vocabulary, so that you can speak about your job and business-related topics in a fluent and natural way.

The lessons are able to be adapted to your specific goals, needs, or interests. For example, if you have an important English presentation coming up, we can practice and improve both the content and your speaking, pronunciation, and presentation skills. If you have an English job interview coming up, we can work on your answers and interview skills.

As we get to know each other, I will also be able to incorporate ways to make the lessons more tailored to you, your job/industry, and your professional goals

Business English (structured Business lessons, presentation help, interview preparation, etc.)

Although this qualification did not have an in-class component, it taught me a lot of what I needed to know about English grammar, teaching methodology, how to teach different ages, gauge and teach different ability levels, how to teach specialised English, how to design courses and materials, correct errors, and build rapport.

I volunteered to teach ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) to refugees and migrants to the UK at a local community college

I was a full-time native English teacher at a premier English academy for adults in the business district of Seoul. I taught 1-on-1 classes to CEOs, business professionals, professors, and university students, including business English, IELTS, TOEIC, and OPIc test preparation, meeting/interview/presentation preparation, and conversational English. I was responsible for all aspects of students' learning and progression, as well as consulting with other teachers and management
