In our first lesson, we'll take time to get to know each other. I'll ask about your goals, your current level, and what you find most challenging — so that every lesson after this one is tailored to what you actually need.
You'll also get a feel for how I teach: my pace, my style, and how I give feedback. No pressure, no tests — just a relaxed, honest conversation about where you are and where you want to go.
By the end, you'll have a clear picture of your next steps, and I'll have everything I need to make our work together count.

Built around your actual workplace — your meetings, your presentations, your negotiations, your pitch. We start with your goals and your real-life scenarios, then work through the language and communication skills you need to handle them with confidence. Includes structured lesson planning and targeted homework between sessions.

Business English That Gets Results

A complete interview preparation programme in English. We unpack your CV together, build your professional story, practise mock interviews, and prepare your STAR answers for the questions recruiters actually ask. You'll leave every session knowing exactly what to say — and how to say it. For professionals who are serious about making their next career move in English.

Interview English Land the Job

The best way to get better at speaking is to speak. In these sessions we have a real conversation — your topics, your pace, your goals. No heavy grammar drills, no stacks of homework. We talk, we watch, we reflect, and you progress. Ideal if you want to feel more comfortable and natural in everyday English without the pressure of a formal course.

Real English Conversation Practice

The Teaching Knowledge Test is a Cambridge University qualification covering the core foundations of English language teaching. I completed all three modules:

Module 1 — Language and background to language learning and teaching
Module 2 — Lesson planning and use of resources for language teaching
Module 3 — Managing the teaching and learning process

Band 3 awarded in all three modules.

CELTA is widely considered the gold standard in English language teacher training. A grade B pass puts me in the top tier of candidates — most people who take it pass at grade C.

Over eleven years at Learnlight, I built 17,000+ hours of teaching experience working with professionals across industries worldwide. I led EU grant-subsidized language projects and Oxford Aspire-funded courses, which meant being trusted with programmes that had real institutional weight behind them. I also ran language and culture workshops for senior leaders and teams — the kind of work that goes well beyond grammar and into how people actually communicate across cultures.
