In the trial lesson we will discuss your aims and goals in learning English. We will discuss your preferred approach (for example, textbook based lessons or speaking lessons). We will also discuss any specific requirements you have - for example to prepare for relocation or to take an exam. (Please note; I specialise in Cambridge and IELTS exams). Finally, we will also get to know each other a bit and discuss which topics or subjects you like speaking about.

English classes for adults already at B1+ who are aiming for C1/C2. I work with business people and professionals. Within that constraint I am very flexible. The programme of study will be adapted to your needs, learning style and preferences. We can work on speaking or writing as you prefer. We can work with a textbook, (I use Oxford University Press books), or use authentic materials. Some of my students like to practice presentations and receive feedback. Others prefer to focus on conversation practice. I tend to focus mostly on a lexical approach (collocations, patterns, phrases) but I also appreciate the value of clear grammar explanations. I can help students prepare for professional exams in English. Most of my students are long-term and appreciate the help I can give to their careers. The price is relatively high because of the amount of personal preparation that I put into these lessons.

English for Business and Professional Purposes

These lessons are for teenagers, 14+. They will be especially useful for teenagers who need to improve their English grades at school as well as for students who are aiming for a place at a UK or European University. The programme can, optionally, include preperation for specific exams: IELTS or Cambridge.

I'm a UK native, with huge experience in UK Summer Schools, Language Schools, and a Cambridge International School.

I look forward to speaking with you.

Taken together with my CELTA, I am in an exceptionally strong position to teach Business English based on my extensive real world experience in global corporations.
