Depending what the student prefers, we can use this time to chat and see which areas of the language the students needs to focus on.   Alternatively, we can cover something specific at the students request or just have a casual conversation.

This class will be tailored to your needs, we can decide from week to week what you would like to focus on.  You will be given Podcasts and or New sites to visit in order to prepare for classes the following week.

Upper Intermediate to Advanced Mixed Class.  Conversation/Grammar/Pronunciation

We can design this class to your needs.  You could decide to to 100% conversation, or maybe 50/50 grammar and chat or you may like to dedicate some time to pronunciation.

60 minute Conversation & Correction/pronunciation (Lower Intermediate to Advanced level)

This class is similar to a regular class in that I correct your pronunciation and grammar, and suggest ways of improving both.  On top of your language learning, you are using the time to explore your life and how to improve it.  Improvements to be made in the work place, at home, your physical & mental health or in how you interact with the world in general.  
If you would like the English class to double up as a coaching session, please announce this at the start of class.

Life Coaching through English

This class is for all students who were taking classes with me prior to January 2025, while the description says conversation C1, naturally it will cover your specific language needs irrespective of your level.
