I have 5 lesson types:

2: I also have a very popular Express Intensive Business English course for fast results.
3: General English: I analyse your ability then improve your general English grammar, vocabulary, understanding, accent & speed.
4. Job Interview training: I use my experience hiring to train you to succeed in your interview.

I give feedback towards & tailored homework for every lesson so that you understand exactly where you are at on their journey to learning English.. My lessons & teaching style
I teach students of all different abilities from all over the world. I believe that individual tutoring means that you will have an individually tailored program. We will work towards this with exercises and conversation, all the time having fun but achieving.
