Unless you would like me to help you with a specific grammatical point, this class will be an informal chat to get to know each other. From the trial I will be able to understand your needs and formulate a plan, and you will see how I like to work.

We will practise conversation with an emphasis on correcting grammatical mistakes, learning new phrases, phrasal verbs and idioms. You will be speaking a lot but we will also be working hard! I will correct your errors and write them down for you in a document every time we meet. I suggest you review this after each lesson as a positive way to improve your English, as your own personal record of your weaker points. 

If you need English for work purposes, I can help you practise your presentations. We can work on interview technique if you are looking for a new job or university place. If you have recently moved to an English-speaking country, we can work on daily conversations, small talk and specific role plays. Anything you need, please just ask. 

These classes are well-prepared and designed to help you feel more comfortable in English and gradually achieve fluency. All elements of learning the language are covered, according to your needs.

* Please note, unfortunately I am unable to teach children under 15 years old. Thank you. *

CONVERSATION - Grammar, learning idioms, phrases and new vocabulary

I have a neutral "Queen's English" British accent and have done voiceovers for radio and film. 

Let me show you how to make some of the key sounds and rhythmic patterns that will make your English understandable and clear. Audio files are supplied so that you can practise between classes. 

This course is usually for upper intermediate-advanced students and is usually combined with a little conversation during the class, as pronunciation work is tiring. Please note: you will not end up speaking like me! This course is to make you feel more confident with your pronunciation, not eliminate your accent. 

PLEASE BOOK A TRIAL or 30 MINUTE CLASS FIRST FOR AN ASSESSMENT.
