In our trial lesson:
- Introductions
- Talk about your English language goals
- I will assess your English level
- I will make some recommendations for how we can work together in future

This lesson style is perfect for adult learners who can already speak good English and would like to practice speaking, listening and conversation skills... and maybe even learn some new vocabulary!

Conversation lessons are interactive, often topic-based and fun! This type of class is perfect for adult learners who wish to learn useful new vocabulary, expressions or phrasal verbs, while practicing speaking and listening skills. During the class I will suggest alternative vocabulary or expressions that might be more commonly used in spoken English, which will help you sound and feel more natural when speaking. 

The aim of these lessons is to make you feel more comfortable and confident when speaking English, and I will also provide feedback on vocabulary and pronunciation.

**Conversation-style lessons are not recommended for children under 12 years old. Please choose a 'Learn English with Pip' lesson for children**

Conversation & Speaking Practice

Learn English, improve your skills, pass your IELTS English exam, and get to the next level with your language. English lessons with Pip are designed especially for you and each class will be personalised for you and designed to help you reach your specific goals!

During the lesson, we will focus on conversational skills (speaking & listening), grammar and vocabulary. We can work from any textbooks you are already using in your studies; or I can provide textbook materials. I will also supply you with reading, listening and visual materials to work from.

These lessons are also suitable for students preparing for English language exams, such as IELTS General & Academic; or for school and university interviews.

*This lesson style is suitable for children, younger learners and adults.

Learn English with Pip

As a professional language and communications teacher, I coach many students for job interviews and presentations, and how to communicate successfully in an English-speaking environment. 

Maybe you are working in a global company, or working with international clients and need to communicate in the global language of English to do your job effectively. Or maybe you are looking for a new job, updating your CV or preparing for a job interview. This type of lesson is perfect for you!

I have a business background, having worked in communications and journalism in London over a 20-year-period. I have years of managerial experience, and experience interviewing potential employees across all levels. In Business English lessons I will bring together all aspects of my past experience to help you succeed using English for your job. 

In our Business English lessons we will discuss business cases, marketing and general workplace topics. I have worked with lots of different professions - from doctors, professors and bankers, to IT professionals, administrators, lawyers and engineers - so I will adjust the topics based on your profession and experience. 

I offer professional coaching to improve your job interview skills, and I am pleased to say that all of my students have gone on to secure the new job or promotion they want!

We could also look at specific business English language for certain situations, such as holding effective meetings.
