An introductory lesson to find out more about you, your current level of English, your learning goals and how you like to learn. We can then plan and structure the lessons to ensure they match your needs.

I have had the pleasure of teaching English to children in both groups and on a one-to-one basis.  My experience as a school teacher (since 2006) has given me the ability to recognise and plan teaching around children’s individual learning needs and styles. My focus is always to ensure that each individual child is making progress at the same time as having fun and enjoying learning.  As with adults, I assess what the child’s current level of English is, find out what their interests are and how they learn best.  I use a rich variety of age-appropriate learning materials, including songs, games, flashcards, role-play, puppets and stories. 

From the first lesson, your child will start to learn every day vocabulary, starting with greetings and progressing to the most commonly used verbs.  Lessons are interactive and began at their current level of English.

CHILDREN

One of the difficulties in learning a new language is having the opportunity to practice the vocabulary you have learned in an environment where you feel less ‘lost’ than in real life situations and where you can go at a pace which is comfortable to you. Also, where the speaker has the time and patience to explain and repeat things if necessary and also correct your mistakes without judgement.  I am currently learning Italian so I can fully empathise with these challenges.  Our conversations will be at a speed that you are comfortable with but at a pace suitable enough to challenge you.  These lessons are about building up your confidence in speaking and developing your English language listening skills.  You can choose the topic or allow me to; or we can do a combination of both. So, if you need someone who is patient and is able to help you gain confidence in having conversations in English, get in touch and book a lesson!

LET'S TALK: CONVERSATIONS IN ENGLISH

I started singing professionally (as well as having a day job!) in 2004.   Music has taken me to several countries to perform both as a solo artist and with bands (indigoeyesmusic). I will help you with: 
Pronunciation – including correct intonation and perfecting phrasing to sound like a native speaker
Songwriting – proof-reading and advising you on writing lyrics in English or translation.
