Take a trial lesson with me and discover what we can do together! I welcome your input on what your goals, target areas, weaknesses and strengths are, when it comes to learning English. I can provide feedback, a structured curriculum, homework, tests and quizzes...whatever you need to reach your English goals. Together we can identify the right type of lessons and lesson structure that will work for you, and soon you'll be winging your way to English success! :) 

This trial lesson can be a simple exercise in getting familiar with each other, or it can be a structured mini-class. Whatever you prefer! If you have a specific goal, test, business requirement etc., please let me know before the class. I can tailor my classes to your needs and learning style. I'm so looking forward to helping you on your English language journey!

These classes are aimed at children from ages 5-50. Yes, parents are welcome (even preferred) to attend the class along with the student, particularly younger students. In this class we will cover conversational topics ranging from our favourite foods or animals, to what we did that day, to our hobbies and aspirations for the future. If your child has a particular interest (e.g. space exploration, fashion, dancing, nature and animals) we can focus on these areas. The class will focus on correcting and improving conversational english, including pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary (and writing where needed). For younger students, we will play games and other fun activities. For those with a more advanced level of English, we can use these conversations to identify and target areas for improvement, and potentially choose other types of lessons which might benefit the student. I can tailor the classes to your needs and interests, and for those extra enthusiastic students, I offer homework and lesson plans! :)

KID'S CONVERSATIONAL ENGLISH

Have you found yourself with more time to improve your secondary research skills? Have you always wanted to improve your spoken or written English for use in presentations and publications. With over 10 years of experience in academia, including writing, correcting and editing publications, I can help you sharpen your English skills for your next peer-reviewed paper or conference presentation. This lesson will focus on spoken English, but we will use this to identify topics, expressions or sentence structures which have been causing you problems. As well as feedback on your English, I provide examples, exercises and even a structured plan should you require one. I can also read some of your previous work in order to identify challenges and strengths in your writing style. Together we can quickly hone your academic English skills!

ACADEMIC ENGLISH/EDITING

This lesson is for all ages (>10 years old) and focuses specifically on the bones of the English language, the structure on which all the vocabulary hangs - English grammar! In this lesson we will cover specific grammar points, how they are used, and how to use them as building blocks in the construction of your English. Because these building blocks are broken down into compact, digestible parts, it is possible to build a tailor-made curriculum to suit your needs and goals, as well as to take only one lesson at a time and propose a grammar point that has been causing you particular difficulty. In this sense, we can tighten or broaden the scope to suit you. I provide examples, homework and a structured syllabus if required.

ENGLISH GRAMMAR

This class is for all ages and all levels of English proficiency, as the aim is simply free talking as you would in an everyday conversation. It is particularly useful for practicing the kinds of everyday conversations you might be finding challenging right now (about the news or current events; about what you did at the weekend or on your holiday). To tailor the conversation to your needs, you can choose the topic/s, and I will provide the feedback on your English directly during the class. If you prefer to cover a wide variety of different topics (this is advisable at the intermediate level, in order to expand your vocabulary), I can provide a diverse range of different topics as well as discussion formats. At the end of the class we will identify some grammar, vocabulary or pronunciation points to work on. If you send me the topic in advance I will send some useful grammar structures, vocabulary and expressions for you to practice in advance or follow up on during the class.

CONVERSATIONAL ENGLISH

This lesson is targeted specifically to your needs. Together we will create a curriculum and a timeline for learning, focusing on strengthening your strong points and addressing your weak points. Let me know what your test date is and we can custom make a lesson plan, including extra exercises and resources for practicing outside of class time. This lesson is not limited to state organised exams, we can also prepare for your school or university exam, no matter what your level or age.

TEST PREPARATION

Whether you work in English every day and have identified areas of your English that you need to improve, or you have occasional interactions with English-speaking business associates and want to feel more comfortable in those interactions, this lesson is the perfect lesson for you. The class is designed to identify your sticking points in English and to help you target these areas, but also to identify your strengths, expand your vocabulary and improve your confidence. You will practice speaking English proficiently, but also assertively, focusing on particular language that helps you communicate more effectively in a business setting.

BUSINESS ENGLISH

This certificate was awarded on the completion of all coursework and assessments related to teaching young people. This certificate is evidence of my proficiency in teaching English in a fun and engaging way, making the language more accessible to young learners.

This certificate was received after completing all coursework and assessments relative to the teaching of Business English. This certificate enables me to teach adults the facets of every day English used in business situations.

Before receiving this certificate an understanding was required of the challenges and opportunities posed by teaching with limited resources. This certificate is evidence of my ability to meet these challenges and benefit from the opportunities.

The basic requirement for this certificate was attendance at an intensive teacher training course. As well as this, it was necessary to complete the required in-class tasks and assessments. Crucial to acquiring this certificate was the design and implementation of a lesson plan with a class of 5 or more students, aimed at teaching a particular grammar point. I received excellent marks and feedback on all activities but particularly my lesson planning.

Requirements for this certificate included completion of all tasks and assessments. The content covered in this course equipped me with a knowledge of TEFL/TESOL theory and practice and enables me to competently teach students of English, from course design to lesson planning, through to assessment.

This certificate was awarded after completion of all course requirements, including coursework and assessments. This course equips me to teach larger classes, managing many people, younger and older, and holding the attention of all students, regardless of differing abilities in understanding and speaking English.

This certificate was awarded after completing coursework and assessments aimed at increasing understanding of English grammar structures. This enables me to teach grammar in a way that makes the structure of English understandable and digestible for non-native speakers.

TEFL/TESOL Certificate - Teaching Business English

This is a great opportunity for us to speak about your learning goals and get to know each other a bit.

We can speak about a topic that you choose, or I can choose a topic for us to speak about. This is a great opportunity for you to build up your confidence and work on your pronunciation.

English conversation (adults only)

I have 3 children of my own and I also have a lot of professional experience of teaching children of all ages online and in person, so my lessons are fun and varied.

English lessons for kids

We can work on a specific grammar point or topic if you let me know beforehand, work through a textbook, or I can plan a lesson to suit your language goals.

General English lesson

A structured course for beginners, using the New English File Elementary/Starter course books with extra resources.

English for beginners

I studied German, French, Spanish and linguistics. I did modules on syntax and phonetics, which has been invaluable in my teaching.

I taught EFL at Newcastle college for 5 months, teaching students from A1 to C1 level in group classes, focussing on all different aspects of the English language.

Alongside my other jobs, I have been working for several years as a private language tutor, mostly of English but also some French and Spanish. Some of this work has been online, and some in person. I have taught both adults and children.

For 6 months I  taught ESOL at Newcastle College, helping my students to improve their English language skills to work towards the Skills for Life qualifications and also to help them to learn the English they needed for their everyday life in the UK. Initially this teaching was in person, but then due to the pandemic we moved to online teaching. This experience helped me to understand the importance of tailoring my lessons towards the needs of my students.

I took my CELTA in 2017 and have been teaching English to children in-person and online since 2019, including 1902 lessons for children on italki.

It usually feels very scary to book a first lesson. Maybe you have had bad experiences with English learning in the past. Perhaps it feels strange to meet a stranger on a computer. And of course - trying something new is always scary! And I'm a new person and learning English this way - may be a new thing for you! 

But please don't worry! You're not alone. Nearly EVERYONE feels this way. It was the same for me when I had my first online class. 

I will bring care and empathy to every lesson, and especially the first one. In the trial lesson, I won't be evaluating you. I will not correct your mistakes on our first call together. 

Instead - my intention is that you feel comfortable and relaxed. I want you to see what I am like as a teacher, and I want to get to know you! 

I know your abilities are better than they will appear in this first class, because you will probably be nervous. That's totally normal! We're humans! 

I will listen without judgement and offer a lot of empathy. I will let you speak. I will give you the opportunity to really be heard.

This will allow us to see if working together makes sense. If we decide to continue with another class, what you share in the trial lesson will help me design personalized classes for you - based on your interests, lifestyle needs, goals, strengths, and challenges. 

I hope this makes sense. If you don't understand anything, or if you have any questions - please message me!!!

I look forward to meeting you soon!

A language coach is like a personal trainer in the gym. 

As your coach, I will help you discover the tools and practices that help you stay confident as you improve your English. 

You will learn to recognize your strengths and the ways of thinking that keep you motivated.

Booking a trial lesson is the best way to see if language coaching is right for you.

Feeling nervous is completely normal. When we meet, my priority is to help you feel relaxed and supported.

All you need is the courage to show up.

If you’re here, you’re ready.

I can’t wait to meet you!

GROUP Language Coaching Sessions

Some people like to talk about the weather. Others like to talk about their feelings, experiences, and ideas.

Many people need a safe space to share what they think and feel in English. These classes are designed for honest, kind conversations about whatever interests you.

What topics fascinate and inspire you? What thoughts and ideas are on your mind?

Let’s connect and talk about what matters to you—in English. 

I’m here to help. That’s my job. 

All you have to do is try. You can do it!

Conversing About What Matters (to you)

podcast

For your first lesson, you can sign up for a strategy session. We can talk about your language learning goals and how I can best help you achieve them.

In these classes I can help you to read and think critically in English and work on  communicating your own thoughts in a clear, coherent, direct way. Critical thinking is a fundamental basic for high school and college education, and is the foundation for clarity of thinking at higher levels in almost every subject. Improve your ability to do it all in English!

Deepening Conversation

The secret to good writing is that it is closely linked to good thinking. As a professional philosopher, this is one of my special talents. I will help you bring logical clarity and coherence to your writing, as well as nuance and style, in order to best help you articulate your ideas.  The course can serve you in a number of ways:

1) Work on a personal statement, grant application, book proposal, or conference presentation. If you want to persuade someone of the importance of your project, your career, or your candidacy for an academic program, its worth taking the extra time to make the best case possible. Especially if the words count are limited, you will need to say a lot in a little space: let me help you structure your thinking!

2) If you are a high school, university, or graduate-level researcher, I can help you with every stage of the writing process, from brainstorming to bibliography. 
In particular, you will learn:
-Brainstorming tactics and thesis formation
-Introductory hook
-Paragraph structure, coherence of ideas
-Writing style and grammar
-Citing sources: footnotes, paraphrasing, bibliographies

3) Other: blogging, diplomatic emails, personal reflections, advertising content (philosophers have a knack for persuasion!), or even creative writing. I can help you improve style, grammar, or content, or guide you in communicating across cultural nuances.

Academic Writing, Personal Statements, Grant application

Learn English by taking a one-on-one course in Philosophy with a university professor. Let's talk and read about the big questions together: 

What is philosophy, and what does it mean to love wisdom?
What is truth and how can we distinguish truth from falsity in a "post-truth" world? 
What is art and how can we understand its place in a world so dominated by scientific thinking? 
How can we understand our roles as individuals within a larger community?
How can we determine if something is good or evil? 
What or who is God, and why do people believe in his existence, or not? 
What is phenomenology? 

These are just a few of the questions past students have been interested in. Together, we can plan a reading list and set of questions that meet your interests and needs.

Independent Study in Philosophy

This class is a more philosophical approach to critical thinking. Improve your logic and critical thinking through one of two methods:
(1) Learn to slowly and carefully read philosophical texts that discuss these issues. through how to improve critical thinking through particular texts. We will begin with Platonic dialogues. 
(2) Work through a textbook of Informal Logic, which will train you to think more clearly by training you to recognize and eliminate common patterns of errors, or logical fallacies. We will use Damer's "Attacking Faulty Reasoning" (6th or 7th edition).

Attacking Faulty Reasoning, Logic, Fallacies

For your initial lesson, feel free to sign up for a half-hour strategy session. We can talk about your language learning goals, and how I can best help you achieve them through my course offerings. (Please note that I do not offer hour-long courses for first-lessons.)

Note: you may also book this course again for your first full lesson (of 30 minutes or 1 hour). With a lower trial rate, you can have a stress-free experience of what a lesson with me is like to help you better decide if it is a good fit for your learning needs.

Introduction: Choosing a Learning Strategy

What is Freedom? This idea is central to human life, and it is of course a major part of the "American dream." But what does this word mean? Is freedom about external circumstance, or internal state? And how has it so shaped our popular imagination? This course will give you a mini-version of what we call in English a "great-books" course: an introduction to classic texts that have shaped the history and culture of the anglophone world, in America and beyond. 

*READING*: Each session will feature a selection of works from a variety of genres and from across different periods, to improve your range of literary comprehension and to give you new angles to think from - from literature to poetry to political philosophy.*

*WRITING*: Each session will include an assignment of a short response paragraph to the readings to work on your writing skills.

*SPEAKING*: Each session, come with questions or reflections, and we can work out these themes together, as you expand your English and learn to think about big ideas!

[*Too busy to write? Too busy to read? That's ok! The advantage of one-on-one tutoring is that we can adapt to your needs and schedule.]

Let's work on polishing your English skills while reflecting on important themes together!

Classic Texts:  What is Freedom?

Two years of teaching seminar before and during my university course, which I designed and taught to 30 students over fall and spring semesters. (We were not given a separate certificate, but you can see this training listed each semester on my transcript)

When you book a trial lesson, please provide information about yourself or your child/children and your learning requirements. That way I will be able to serve you better and guide you in the pursue of your goals. Pease keep in mind that we might want to have materials available such as food, toys or printables to make the lesson more interactive and fun for your kids. Adult learners might want to prepare in advance in order to take full advantage of this lesson.

Juntos diseñaremos tus lecciones de acuerdo a tus necesidades e intereses. He trabajado con estudiantes desde 6 meses hasta 60 años en todos los niveles y tengo varios idiomas de apoyo para facilitar la comunicación incluso si no hablas una palabra de español.

Welcome to my immersive English program for families with kids from 2 years old. I promise lots of fun, music, games, hands on projects to create the right environment for family learning. Regardless of your English level as an adult, what matters is that you can connect with your children and share your knowledge or the experience of learning and playing.
Once you have booked a lesson, I will send you a list of possible topics for your child to choose from. Depending on that decision and on the things your child likes to do (I might ask you a few questions), I will send you materials such as songs or stories to help everyone prepare vocabulary or simply connect with the topic at an emotional level prior to the class.

Español para familias (Spanish for small children and their families)

Pre-teens are a very special age group. Their brains still have some of the plasticity of smaller children, which supports them to learn from the environment. And at the same time, they are ready for more systematical and logical ways of learning, as well as literacy exercises. My lessons are designed to respond to their specific ways of leaning as well as their interests and psychological needs (pre-teen are very self aware ;). On these lessons, you can expect some games, cooking, science experiments, singing, dancing, crafts and research, depending on your child's interests and level.

Los pre-adolescentes son un grupo especial. Sus cerebros todavía conservan mucho de la plasticidad de un niño pequeño, lo cual es permite absorber conocimiento del medio ambiente, y al mismo tiempo están listos para aprender de una manera lógica/sistemática y trabajar su lecto-escritura. Mis lecciones están diseñadas para responder a estas maneras de aprender, al igual que a sus intereses y necesidades psicológicas (los preadolescente son extremadamente conscientes de su imagen). Trabajaremos con juegos, cocinando, haciendo experimentos y manualidades, cantando, bailando, investigando, todo de acuerdo a los intereses y nivel de tu niño.

Español para niños grandes (Spanish for children aged 7-13)

I will tailor an individualized lessons plan for each student, depending on their level and interests. What all lessons have in common is the use of creativity and play as the gate of entry to the student's best potential.

English for everyone

This is a practical consultation space for parents and educators raising children in more than one language.

Each session focuses on designing or strengthening a bilingual environment at home or in learning spaces, based on where you are right now.

Together, we create a clear, realistic plan using ready-made activities, routines, games, songs, and materials you can use immediately — no need to search or design resources on your own.

You’re welcome to bring real questions, everyday challenges, or ideas you’d like to explore.

My approach is grounded in lived experience and practical application. This is not a language class, but a thoughtful conversation  and ongoing support for bilingual life, learning, and connection.
