Everyday Conversations with Confidence! (B1/B2)

I previously worked as an NVQ Assessor and Trainer, teaching adults how to start and grow their own businesses. This included classroom-based training in business fundamentals like planning, marketing, and communication. It gave me valuable experience in guiding adult learners—many with no formal education—through practical, real-world learning they could apply immediately.

Hello and welcome to your free trial lesson 😀
This will be a relaxed and personalized lesson at your own pace, where I’ll introduce myself and get to know a little about you. 
Together, we will have a casual conversation for practice and enjoy a short activity. This will help me assess your language level and better understand your English language goals, including what you would like to learn or improve. 
This class is open to all children and adults, from beginner (A1) to mastery (C2) levels. 
I look forward to meeting you all 🤗

This lesson is designed to help you develop fluency in the English language and communicate with confidence. 
Our sessions will involve open conversations on interesting, informative, or specific topics of your choice. These will take place in a relaxed environment, where I will provide support and feedback on your sentence construction, pronunciation, and grammar. 

In this class, there's plenty of room for self-expression and making mistakes, as I believe learning is a process of trying, growing, and improving.

Conversation Practice in English

In these lessons we will concentrate on developing and improving key English skills such as vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, reading, and spelling. Lessons will be customized to the student’s current level, so you’ll feel confident as you build your vocabulary, learn how to pronounce words, and put together sentences effectively. We’ll also focus on reading and writing, making sure you progress step by step.  The goal is to create an enjoyable and engaging learning experience using educational and structured activities.
