In every lesson you can expect different topics. First, you will read the text and I will correct your mistakes. After that, we will discuss about your opinion, experience, about your hometown, situation in your county, weather etc. So you will be the one who speaks more because that's the best way to practice foreign language. Basically my lessons are about improving conversation skills.

I offer discounted trial lessons because I'm confident you'll really enjoy working with me.

This is a trial lesson to get to know each other and see how we can work together. I'll ask you some questions about yourself and your English language goals. 

I'll then discuss what type of lessons might work best for you. I'll take detailed notes and provide feedback for you at the end of our session.

I enjoy learning about my student's goals so I can ensure I provide useful lessons for them.

This class is designed for students who are preparing for a presentation, pitch or public speaking opportunity.  You will be able to deliver your presentations confidently after this session.

I help students prepare for presentations of any kind by helping them prepare their material in a clear and concise way and deliver the presentation with confidence. I have helped people in many different situations, from founders pitching to VC's to business executives presenting to their boards. 

We'll review your material and practice going through the presentation to improve everything from the introduction to the conclusion of your pitch and work on key phrases that can help you get your message across to your audience easily.  If you need help with your presentation, this is the class for you.

⭐️⭐️⭐️Presentation, Pitch & Public Speaking Practice and Preparation ⭐️⭐️⭐️

This lesson is perfect for students who want to improve their conversational skills.  Whether you want to get more comfortable introducing yourself or speaking with colleagues, you will be able to speak with confidence and avoid misunderstandings after taking this class

Topics can include recent news and world events as well as business discussions about the latest trends in economics, technology or global politics.  

This lesson is best for students with at least a basic understanding of the English language who are able to express themselves.  Conversational practice is a great way to sound more like a native speaker, avoid misunderstandings and portray a professional attitude in business conversations.

🎙️🗣️Conversational English Practice & Business English Practice 👩‍💼💼👨‍💼

These lessons are designed for students who are looking to interview with an English-speaking company.  You will be prepared to answer all types of interview questions after this session.

This is a great chance to do a practice interview with a native English speaker with management and hiring experience and get feedback before you interview with a company.

I'll start by reviewing your CV and the job description of the company you are applying for.
Then, I will ask you a few questions about the company and the specific role you are applying for.  Then we'll discuss potential interview questions based on your industry and role.  I'll work with you to ensure you have strong answers as well as examples from your past experience to help you answer the most common interview questions.  

I'll make sure that you're comfortable explaining your answers in English and that you are delivering them in a clear and concise manner.

I'll also coach you on proper interviewing etiquette, including before, during and after the interview. My goal is to make sure you feel comfortable and confident before your interview.  

I was a hiring manager for three years and have interviewed hundreds of potential candidates in the past, so I know what types of questions companies and hiring managers like to ask and how to best answer these questions.

We can also discuss salary negotiations and job expectations.

You will feel more confident and prepared for your interview after this session.

Interview Preparation and Coaching 💪💪💪

Do you have an interview in the next few days or even the next few hours?  This class will help you get ready for your interview in as little as one hour.

This class is designed specifically to help you prepare for an interview in a short amount of time.  We will discuss the most common interview questions and make sure you can talk about your work experience clearly.

I'll review your CV and the job description of the position you're applying for to give you an idea of what types of questions the hiring manager is most likely to ask.

🚨Last Minute Interview Preparation🚨

This is class is specifically for resume/CV review, editing or creation.  You will have a better resume and/or cover letter after this session.

Resumes should be tailor made to showcase your best skills and accomplishments related to specific jobs you are applying for.

If you don't have a resume yet, we'll discuss your academic and professional career and create a standout resume together.  (Please note, creating a resume from scratch may take more than one class.)

I have helped dozens of people improve their resumes to improve their effectiveness and increase the likelihood of getting an interview.

The trial lesson as implied is just the beginning of any of the above, or more likely a meeting to discuss shared aims and goals. I'd like to add the possibilities of working off a translation-based approach (which is working fine for my Georgian and could be extended for any ambitious student r e a l l y interested in how languages differ from each other) and the option to have an 'Open Lesson'

Many students find themselves in a new context where English is needed for themselves or their children. Sometimes, too, the family has a rich and interesting cultural background. Having worked in number of different foreign countries I am sympathetic to this situation and can streamline courses accordingly.

1 Expats, Multiculturals, Relocating

You have some competence in English but want exposure to a variety of sources to develop up-to-date and correct usage. You maybe have some questions about correct punctuation and usage, and can define some favourite topics and areas of interest. We will look at suitable high-quality texts and take the discussion in any direction which develops.

2.  Flight Path

You would like to perfect your pronunciation and to study how to sound like a native! There are many ways to attempt this; but it requires a certain patience and a good ear. Different elements of phonetics, rhythm, speed and pitch will be discovered. For example, did you know that there English words short or long, slow or fast?

3. Close Analysis

The easiest story seems to be Robinson Crusoe, but we can progress to Round The World In Eighty Days, The Secret Garden, and adapted Sherlock Holmes. This can be linked to grammatically based work if desired. The attraction of a similar weekly routine is something children find attractive and compelling.

4. Stories Mainly - Children

Project Gutenburg takes care of most classic stories (e.g. Sherlock Holmes, The Lost Stradivarius) while newer items are also possible, along with first chapters from Amazon.co.uk where 'Look Inside' provides a generous insight into good writing. We should not forget short stories. A recent discovery has been the Australian Elizabeth Harvester - surely a modern classic!

5 Classic Stories - Adults

By negotiation - here you may make your own proposals to me e.g. job interview, CV, letter, document, thesis, presentation - anything at all! Recently I have worked on a research presentation in the social sciences, a legal document and various letters of motivation.

6.  Polishing and Rewriting Your English

This letter - in terms of great generosity - details my achievements in 2015-2016 and thus can encourage students to book me as an innovative online teacher.

This was at Master's Level, but I completed three months and was awarded the 'Certificate in Linguistics for the Teaching of English' - sufficient for my needs at the time. The attachment also includes shorter courses I attended in later years.

History of Western Art - preceded by Theology and Oriental Studies (A Cambridge BA carries Master's Status after two years) First Class Honours

Depending on the level of the student (A2 to C1), this course is more generalized and geared towards activities which don’t have exam preparation as an objective. I prepare all the necessary didactic materials which often include theme-based activities e.g. current affairs, news articles, etc which give practice in reading, writing, speaking and listening as well as some grammar explanations and use when necessary.
