During the course, we will read short books or articles, ask and answer comprehension questions, and develop the student's vocabulary based on their level, age, and interests. Additionally, it is my goal to increase the student's output, so I will expect and encourage students to speak in complete sentences. As mentioned before, lessons will be adapted depending on the student's level of English, their age, and their interests. As appropriate, I will use props and gestures both to help the student understand and to engage and reward the students. I am patient and kind to all my students. 

Lessons are 25-28 minutes long to allow for transitions or 55 minutes for hour-long lessons. 
Feedback is usually provided once a week.
For students under 6 years of age, I ask that an adult be present.

English for children A0-B1

quiz

This introductory lesson is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and establish a preferred learning style. I will asses your level of English and develop a personalised plan to help you improve your English speaking skills.

This lesson is for relaxed, natural speaking practice. We talk about any topic you are interested in, build fluency, and remove hesitation. The goal is clear, comfortable communication without pressure. You speak freely, and I correct you when needed so your English becomes more natural over time.

• Choose any topic you enjoy
• Improve fluency through natural conversation
• Get clear feedback on pronunciation and grammar
• Build confidence in a calm, comfortable setting

Conversation

This is not a typical IELTS speaking lesson.

The focus is strategy. You learn how to stay calm, think clearly, and respond to any question, even when the topic is unfamiliar. The aim is to help you speak fluently and logically, instead of freezing, memorising answers, or forcing ideas that do not feel natural.

Of course, I will correct your grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. But the main work is learning how to handle questions properly so your speaking stays clear and controlled throughout the test.

I regularly help students improve by about 0.5 to 1.5 bands by changing how they approach IELTS speaking. In each session, we work with realistic questions and focused feedback so you know exactly what to improve and how to do it.

How to Answer Difficult IELTS Speaking Questions

This lesson is for students who want to perform clearly, confidently, and naturally in English job interviews. I help you shape your experience into strong, professional answers without sounding scripted. The focus is on clear communication, confident delivery, and speaking like someone who understands their own value.

We practise real interview questions, refine your structure, and build the skills needed to express achievements, responsibilities, and challenges effectively. You also learn how to avoid long explanations, unclear answers, or memorised responses. Many students notice improvement in the first session.

If you want focused interview preparation that gives you real confidence, this lesson is the right fit.

Job Interview Preparation

This lesson teaches you how to turn messy thoughts into clear, natural English. Many students know what they want to say but struggle to shape their ideas into clean sentences. In this lesson, you bring sentences, ideas, or feelings that you find difficult to express. We break them down, rebuild them, and practise creating clear English that matches what you mean.

You learn how to express feelings and complex ideas, and how to avoid unnatural phrasing. We work with short thought building tasks that strengthen clarity, structure, and precise communication. Each session builds your ability to think and speak in English without translating.

This is a focused lesson for improving clarity, accuracy, and natural expression. If you want to speak in a way that is sharp, controlled, and easy to understand, this lesson is the right choice.

Build Better English

We work with realistic professional scenarios. Meetings, negotiations, difficult conversations, giving feedback. You practise handling them while I correct both your English and your communication.

You learn how to soften a message when you need to, how to be direct when the situation calls for it, and how to word things carefully when the wrong phrase changes everything. Each scenario is different, so you practise adjusting your tone, your language and your approach depending on who you are speaking to and what the situation demands.

These scenarios come from real experience. I spent years in senior management, leading teams of over 40 people, running meetings and interviewing candidates. I correct how you speak, but I also correct how you interact.

Soft Skills in English Communication

One hour of intense, varied English practice under real pressure. I give you scenarios, switch topics without warning, challenge your responses, and push you to think and speak in English with no time to prepare.

You will read short texts and summarise them within a time limit. You will look at situations, analyse them, and explain your thinking clearly. You will respond to unexpected questions, defend your opinions, and handle pushback.

I correct your English, but I also test how clearly you communicate when things get difficult.
After the lesson, you receive written feedback on what I observed and what to work on.

For those who want to be tested.
