This is an introduction to what you can expect from my general English course. 

In these 30 minutes we will get to know each other, you will learn some new vocabulary and receive some practical tips on how to improve your English and get some all important speaking practice!

This course is designed for advanced ESL professionals who use English in presentations, meetings, pitches, lectures, or public-facing roles — and want to feel more confident and polished when they speak.

You may already communicate quite well 

But public speaking requires a different level of control, structure, and presence.

In these sessions, we focus on three key areas:

Skills & Structure

Learn how to organise ideas clearly, guide your audience, and build persuasive, well-shaped presentations.
We work on:

Opening and closing with impact

Signposting and clarity

Storytelling techniques

Handling questions confidently

Speaking concisely under pressure

 Natural, Professional Vocabulary

Expand the language you use when presenting — so you sound precise, flexible, and natural rather than memorised or scripted.
We refine phrasing, transitions, emphasis, and persuasive language in real speaking practice.

 Accent Softening & Delivery

The goal is not to lose your identity — but to increase clarity and ease for your listener.
We work gently on:

Sentence stress

Intonation

Rhythm

Reducing unclear sounds

Speaking pace and pausing

You’ll receive thoughtful, constructive feedback in a supportive environment. 

This course is about helping your English reflect your expertise — and allowing your message to land clearly and confidently.

Because strong ideas deserve strong delivery.

English for Public Speaking

This is for students who are planning academic study or would like to take an exam at some point in the future and want to uplevel all aspects of their English before doing so. 

We will look at reading, writing, advanced speaking skills as well as key vocabulary and grammar to get you to the level you want. See this as your English bootcamp. 

Please note, homework is an essential part of this course, so please set aside between 1-3 hours a week of study alongside your lesson :)

English for kids!

Want to practise your English but you have very little free time? Or you just want to practise your conversational skills with constructive feedback on your language, grammar and pronunciation?

I taught a range of different learners and levels (3-adult) by creating a fun and dynamic environment and always responding to learner needs. 

I taught a combination of exam classes (CAE, FCE, IELTS) and general English 

Had regular CPD training sessions (once fortnightly)

I teach multilingual classes (students from South Korea, China, Japan, Europe, South America and the Middle East) So I have excellent intercultural communication skills. I teach students communication skills, Grammar and receptive and productive skills in general and Exam classes. Over the last three years I have mainly been teaching exam classes (IELTS, FCE, and CAE) and I have been developing my own materials to ensure students get the maximum benefit from my classes.
