English for the Arts: single or 5-lesson package- designed around your art and design interests and needs, working on speaking, listening, pronunciation, reading, writing, grammar and vocabulary

Use this option to book single lessons or a package of 5 lessons.

These conversation classes are very flexible and focus on fluency, accuracy and building confidence. 

Lessons can cover a range of topics, decided by you beforehand or on the day, to work on fluency, accuracy, vocabulary and pronunciation. However, I recommend choosing any topics BEFORE the lesson, so you can prepare a few points and/ or questions to discuss, as well as useful key vocabulary.

I correct your language where necessary, sometimes in the moment and sometimes at the end of the lesson.  We can discuss any grammar or other language points as they come up. 

These lessons are not prepared by the teacher and there is no homework.

Let's get talking!

This post involved community outreach work to reintegrate stable heroin users back into the community through education, voluntary work and fitness.  It also involved teaching literacy, numeracy and I.T. skills on a one-to-one basis.
