A thirty-minute trial lesson. An opportunity to tell me about your language learning history and your progress so far. An informal chat, in which we'll find out how I can best help you.
This lesson will be conducted on Skype or What's App, using audio only.

A relaxed lesson, focused on English conversation with grammar exercises. 

Each lesson will offer students an opportunity to focus on challenging grammar issues and to practice their correct use in conversation. 

Some grammar problems can be solved easily with consistent speaking and listening practice, or by working alone on textbook or internet exercises, but there are some topics that should ideally be practiced with a teacher and repeated in conversation, to ensure a deeper understanding of the underlying rules and prevent future mistakes. 

If you struggle to understand when to use the present perfect tense or have difficulty understanding the use of articles or prepositions in conversation, this is the perfect class for you. 

I have prepared several lessons and resources on a wide range of grammar topics, to assist my students with gaining true understanding of a range of bewildering English grammar rules, and I’ll be happy to help end your struggles in this fun, dynamic and interactive class. 

This lesson is ideal for students who wish to improve their use of any grammar concepts they may have struggled with for years. Even if you have worked your way through endless textbooks and online exercises, without success, I’m sure I can help you. My patient reassuring and supportive teaching style will help to boost your confidence quickly so that you can effortlessly correct those difficult issues once and for all.

I look forward to working with you and helping you to progress quickly on your English-speaking journey!

English Conversation Practice

I've got some great news, dear students! I am now an award-winning comedy writer. 
My sitcom, In the Spotlight, has won the award for best webisode of 2020, 
at the Fort Worth Indie Film Showcase. 

I'm looking forward to welcoming new students who wish to improve their writing skills and become more eloquent speakers and composers of a wide range of literature. 

This class is ideal for you if you would like help with writing essays, articles, blog posts or even Instagram posts in English.  Just get in touch with your requests and I'll see if I can help you. 

As a published author and magazine feature writer, I love helping others to hone and perfect their writing. I have several years of writing experience and I love playing with words and helping others to express themselves well when speaking and writing in English. 

As well as being a writer, I am a qualified TEFL teacher and I also have a PGCE and qualified teacher status here in the UK. 

If you book this service, we'll work together in each lesson, using Skype audio and google documents to evaluate, discuss and make stylistic and grammatical changes to your work. I'll help you to construct sentences full of expression and meaning, and to produce work of a standard you can be proud of, whatever your writing needs may be. 

If English is your second or third language, I know it isn't always easy to be sure that your writing will even make logical sense to a native English speaker! Let's read through your work together and make any necessary changes that will help you to present your ideas in the best possible light, for academic, literary or business purposes.
