This is your chance to meet the teacher and find out more about the classes offered. Discuss your goals for learning English and see my teaching style and materials. Bring any questions to this session and we can discuss them in class!

*You may be asked to complete a placement test to accurately grade your level of English.

Conversation is the best way to practice your speaking and listening skills in English. In this class, we will practice conversations based on random topics. If you do not wish to choose random topics, you can bring topics to the class or message me before lessons if there is something in particular that you would like to practice.

To decide the topics, a random topic will be selected from a list. If you do not like the topic, a different one can be selected. However, practicing conversation on whatever the topic is a great way for you to test your listening and speaking abilities in English!

I also send out some articles and videos every 1-2 weeks, which gives us a topic for discussion in the class. Normally, one of these will be a topic for debate as I believe that it is a really good way to practice your language skills!

Conversation Practice - Become more confident!

In these lessons, we will cover grammar concepts and test your knowledge on their use. The grammar can either be taught in a way to increase your fluency, or I am able to teach you the syntax explanation and the linguistics that explain the concept.

Grammar can be difficult for many of us to learn, but it doesn't always have to be boring! I make sure that we are doing exercises and getting you actively involved in your own learning so that you can have a much easier time when studying grammar.

IMPORTANT: Please contact me before booking this class as I will need to know your level, goals for learning English, and how you would like to learn grammar before the session.

Grammar class

In this class, we will practice speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills that we be based on the level of English that you are at. This class is closer to the more traditional teaching of a classroom, where you will be given material in the lesson, then homework after classes. This will include quizzes and tests to prepare you for any assessments that you may have.

IELTS focused classes, where we can learn about taking the test and practicing your language skills for this, are also included in this class. Please make sure to let me know about what topic you would like to practice before you book the class!

There is a wide range of topics available, so you learn all kinds of new skills and vocabulary!

General English Skills (Writing, Reading, Speaking, Listening)

Do you want to learn to speak with a British accent? Would you like to know how to achieve more native pronunciation? Would you like to learn more about pronunciation and accents?

This is my favourite class to teach, where I really get to put my linguistics background to good use. If you take this class, you can expect an introduction to linguistic terms and to phonetic transcription, but it will not be the only focus of our class.

I speak English with a neutral southern accent, which you have likely heard in TV shows and movies. If this is something you would like to achieve in your English, this may be the class for you. For these classes, I use my knowledge of phonetics (part of my degree) and experience working with students from around the world to aid in your accent development. There is the added option of learning the IPA chart and how this may help you learn other accents or dialects.

Please contact me before booking this class so I can assess whether this is the right class for you!

I look forward to seeing you in class :)
