What English course is best for you?
Do you want to generally improve your English and feel more confident about using English in everyday situations?
Do you need a Cambridge exam (eg IELTS, Cambridge B1-C1?) to get into university or for a new job?
Do you need help with Business English at work?

What happens in lessons?
1. Most classes follow a course book that gives structure to each lesson, however, I will also provide additional material.
2. The first part of the lesson will often be conversation either about the lesson or student’s own lives and experiences. This is to encourage natural conversation with the guidance of a native speaker.
3. The course book focuses on specific topics and covers the 4 key skills (speaking, reading, writing and listening) grammar and punctuation.
4. Homework will be given after most lessons.
Online lessons:
I use Zoom for my online group lessons. This is very easy to use and access.
Small group classes:
Face to face & online
My small group classes are lots of fun as everyone has the chance to join in, ask lots of questions and make friends with some amazing students.
When the groups are small, students feel more comfortable, confident and willing to participate and share the lesson with the others in the group.
Face to Face lessons:
During COVID-19 I have naturally been unable to offer face-to-face lessons. Since, I restarted very small groups (5 or 6 students maximum) in my old house in Twickenham in south-west London*, for those students who lived nearby.
As of January 2022, I moved to Chobham and will now be offering group face to face lessons here.
Are you living and working in south-west London or Surrey?
Have you moved to the area for work or your partner’s work?
Then come and join me for lessons in Chobham or Twickenham* – it’s a great way to improve your English and make new friends!
*I will be offering limited face to face lessons in Twickenham.
One to One:
Face to face & online
If you prefer to have your own private lessons, either in your home or online, then we can arrange that too. One-to-one lessons can be arranged and I will prepare each lesson specifically for you and your needs.
