Lessons built around the English you actually need
Rather than following the same course for every student, I plan each lesson around your current English, your reasons for learning and the areas in which you most need to improve.
Some students want to feel more comfortable in everyday conversation. Others need to handle meetings, interviews or emails at work. Many are living in the UK and want to understand and be understood more easily in daily life.
Whatever your reason for learning, we'll identify what is holding you back and work on it directly. Your lesson isn't divided between ten or fifteen students. The entire lesson is yours.
And because I also speak Spanish, I have a particularly good understanding of the difficulties Spanish-speaking and Portuguese-speaking learners encounter when learning English.
What we can work on
Most students combine several of these. We'll decide the balance together in your first lesson.
Listening and understanding
Getting used to real British English at natural speed, including accents, everyday expressions and the language you hear at work and in the community.
Grammar and vocabulary
Fixing the recurring mistakes that hold you back and building the vocabulary you need for your life, your work and your interests.
English for living in the UK
Practical language for daily life: appointments, services, neighbours, forms and the situations that come up when you settle in a new country.
English for work
Meetings, presentations, interviews, phone calls and emails, with a focus on sounding clear and professional.
Confidence
For many students the biggest obstacle is fear of making mistakes. Regular, relaxed practice with a patient teacher changes that.
How lessons work
Lessons are online, one-to-one and 60 minutes long. Most General English students take one or two lessons a week, but the frequency is up to you.
