*** PLEASE NOTE I DO NOT TEACH CHILDREN OR STUDENTS BELOW B1 LEVEL. ***

This is an opportunity for you and I to meet each other, discuss your learning goals, and for you to experience how I work as a teacher.

⚠️ Please Note: these classes are for adults - please see my other classes for 'Teenagers' if you/your child is over 11 years of age. 
These sessions are fun, intensive, and highly interactive. One student described them as “like running a marathon with your mouth!”
Will you sound like Emma Watson or Hugh Grant afterwards? Possibly — but more importantly, you’ll sound more British, more precise, and more confident. You’ll also learn clear, effective techniques to practise on your own between sessions.
I’ve taught British pronunciation, phonology, and linguistics for many years — both in person and here on Italki.
✅ These sessions are suitable for adult learners at B2 level or higher.
✅ You will need a laptop (not just a phone) so I can share my screen.
✅ Be prepared to occasionally speak loudly — you might want to book your sessions for when you will have privacy!
⚠️ Please note: these classes are not suitable for everyone so please book a trial lesson to see if they are right for you.

• For students aiming for Band 7–8
• Includes speaking mock tests, writing structure drills, and homework to which I give detailed feedback. 
• Bonus: My feedback is examiner-style: specific, direct, and strategic.
