*This is not a planned lesson*

We will chat to discuss your learning goals and to practise your speaking skills :)

The Conversation Practice session is a speaking session based on spontaneous topics and informal conversations.

"Why practice speaking?" you might ask. Speaking activates ALL linguistic elements of grammar, punctuation and vocabulary at the same time.

Speaking is also the fastest way to REVEAL the gap between what you think you know, and what you actually know!

In our sessions I will help you reformulate your sentences to make them sound more natural and ask you many questions relevant to the topic so that there is the chance of recycling vocabulary and keeping your mind on one topic.

We will look at any major grammatical errors and we will inevitably learn new words as they emerge naturally.

With my regular students we read blog articles, watch YouTube videos and movie clips, analyse song lyrics, poems and enjoy other authentic and really interesting material tailored to YOUR individual interests and needs.

With me you will feel relaxed and you won't be afraid to make mistakes. 

I am a friendly, patient and kind teacher and I have lots of experience in knowing which kind of areas you need to improve on.

You can also book this session if you are preparing for an interview or you're doing a presentation at work and you'd like me to check for grammar and pronunciation errors and to add my own personal suggestions.

⭐ 🗣️ Conversation Skills ⭐ Gain confidence through speaking ☀️

If you would like to improve your grammar or enrich your vocabulary, this is the lesson to book.
I use English Grammar in Use, a very popular book, and I also use English File Series Grammar which explains grammar very clearly and with exercises to practice.
For vocabulary I use a wide range of materials, with the focus on making sure that you find the content interesting - this is the most important aspect. 
The vocabulary can be from: Articles from various websites, YouTube mini-documentary videos, vlogs, book suggestions, graded readers, and so on.

I will also be able to answer ANY grammar questions that you have and I'll MAKE SURE that you fully understand.

You will have work to do before, during and after the lesson.

If you prefer the traditional language learning approach and want to make huge progress in a structured way with a lesson plan then this is the lesson for you. 

If you have any questions about this lesson, please get in touch!

*** IF YOU WOULD PREFER A CASUAL, RELAXED CONVERSATION WITH SOME ERROR CORRECTION THEN PLEASE BOOK BY CONVERSATION PRACTICE CLASS ***
