So I am going to tell you exactly what this lesson is all about. First things first, General English mainly focuses in engaging in conversations. These discussions can range from everyday topics to specific subjects of your choice. It's entirely up to you.  Of course, I tailor the lessons to your preferences, needs, strengths, especially areas that require improvement.

In this lesson, we'll cover pronunciation, flow (or fluency), vocabulary, and grammar. Now, some may argue that grammar and sentence construction are one and the same, and I do agree to an extent. However, it's important to note that improving your English isn't just about learning complex or advanced vocabulary. You can use impressive words, but if your grammar isn't on point, it can be a stumbling block.

For instance, an intermediate student might say, "I work hard so I am exhausted and want to hit the sack." whereas an advanced student could say say, "I work tirelessly, so it's only right that I take care of myself and get some rest." Notice that I did not add any bombastic vocabulary in the advanced sentence however, the sentence serves it's purpose by communicating the message well. The key distinction lies in the flow, fluency, understanding and the way the sentence is structured.

So, while you can certainly expand or memorize advanced vocabulary, it won't automatically elevate you to an advanced level. It's all about understanding language.

Now, circling back to what we cover in these General Conversational lessons, we'll look into various aspects, including spelling and those in-between moments. These are some of my favorite elements, as they indicate your progress. When you ask questions related to the topic at hand, it proves that your mind is actively engaging with the material, connecting ideas and solidifying your understanding. This signifies real growth in your learning process. Give this lesson a shot!

Business English is not only about formal and professional communication but also about creative and persuasive writing. 

There are two main types of businesses: those that provide a service and those that sell a product, and some businesses do both.

This could involve presenting PowerPoint slides, discussing new products, conducting audits, or handling various other aspects of business communication, including writing emails, memos, reports, business letters and more.

With boundless experience working with business English learners in different industries and being an entrepreneur myself, I'm well-equipped to guide you in excelling in the realm of business English.

BE- Business English

While previously, examiners could've questioned you about memorable life events, now they may be more straightforward, like asking about everyday habits such as carrying a bag or smiling in photos which may sound easy but more is required on your end as a candidate.

As someone who has taken the IELTS exam, I am well aware of what is entailed in it and what is required from you as a candidate. I am also in constant communication with other teachers who specialize in IELTS and students who have taken the IELTS exam recently. When I say IELTS, I'm speaking about IELTS speaking because that's what I specialize that's what I specialize in. However, if you do need some help just to refine some of the finer details with your IELTS reading, listening or even writing, I am here to help with that too. But going back to IELTS speaking, I am fully aware of what is required from you as a candidate and what examiners are looking for. 

What I do in class with my IELTS students is practice using recent exams and from the responses they give I find how they can get the score they are willing to work for. We then move on to the mock exam just to are sure they are fully prepared. Over the past 3 and a half years of helping IELTS students, I have created a flexible formula on how YOU can actually score a 7 or above. This formula didn't only work for me but many of my students who have done well in IELTS. Some say it is a formula but I look at it as a habit that will simplify your learning process and take you to the next level.

If you're taking the exam and actually want to get great preparation suitable to your needs then book a lesson and give it a shot!

Many of you have reached out with questions about how group lessons work, and I'm here to explain.

Group lessons are designed for those who want to learn alongside friends, family, colleagues, or peers. These sessions are highly interactive, emphasizing group activities. Since there will be multiple students in the lesson, interaction and collaboration will play a significant role. We'll engage in English games like my specially crafted 30-second challenge, tailored to enhance your English proficiency.

Rest assured, even in group settings, the lessons are personalized to cater to the specific needs and dynamics of your group, be it friends, family, peers, or a mix of language exchange partners. In terms of payment, you'll make a single transaction from one account, and you can then divide the cost amongst your group members as you see fit.

I'm particularly excited to introduce this new format, as it's a delightful way to learn English while enjoying the company of your loved ones. Laughter and fun will be abundant, but remember, it's still an English lesson, and you'll be making significant progress.

One important note: for group lessons, all participants need to be in the same location and using the same device. This ensures a seamless learning experience. Whether it's a late-night session after dinner, a pre-lunch gathering, or a morning meeting, you can choose the time that suits your group best.

Even if you're primarily taking one-on-one lessons, you're welcome to join these group sessions from time to time to experience the joy of learning English together. This complements the focused approach of one-on-one sessions with a fun and interactive group dynamic.

If you are looking for an innovative way to learn English with your loved ones then this is it, it really does not get better than this! Gather up your group and give it a go!

Learn English as your FL (First Language)

Imagine this- You've just got back from work/school/university and you have had a bad day and you really want someone to talk to, someone who is not judgemental but understanding and will still help you feel productive because you are improving your English. Sounds too good to be true right? I know it does but I have been doing this with my students to the point where I thought to make a separate lesson that is dedicated to all the English learners who are just having a bad day, want to vent but still be productive.

In this class you can be cosy in the comfort of your own space, sipping some coffee, tea or wine. Of course this is still a lesson so I'll still teach you English as you express yourself. This lesson is not only useful for you emotionally but it will definitely help you be more expressive. It is known to man that we are more expressive when the emotions are real and raw and we learn better with association which is exactly what you will experience in this lesson. 

So book this lesson and lets unpack today.

Expressional English

With a 300-hour TEFL certificate from i-to-i, I obtained the necessary qualification to teach Business English, General English, and specialized exam preparation for IELTS and TOEIC. This certification empowered me to teach both young and adult students, guiding them to improve their language skills. It enhanced my job prospects, enabling me to offer comprehensive English instruction for academic and professional success.

During my first year, I studied introduction to psychology, political science, and sociology. These courses provided a broad understanding of human behavior, political systems, and social structures. It was a fascinating journey exploring the complexities of the mind, analyzing political ideologies, and examining the dynamics of societies. The knowledge gained in these subjects laid a strong foundation for my academic and intellectual growth.
