25 minute trial lesson for us to get to know each other, and for future lessons to be fully tailored to your individual needs and interests!

Fully individualised lessons where the student will choose a book or subject that interests them, and we will set a text for us to read together and discuss.  

I really do have books on nearly everything, so whatever you child is interested in, we can learn about!

Any relevant grammar points can be learnt and practised if required, and any pronunciation issues will also be worked on.

Lessons can also follow graded reading and discussion programmes.
