I specialize in tutoring English as a second language for all of you who want to learn English or want to maintain your skills. We can have an informal chat or we can review grammar...it's up to you!
If you have any particular requests do ask.

I have 27 years' experience and I specialise in tutoring English for adults who are taking Cambridge or TOLES examinations, or who are using English for university preparation or studies.

Courses are flexible but challenging; everything we do is agreed between the student and the teacher so that the student's goals can be met.

Do you want to have fun while learning English? Join me for dynamic, applied English classes that will help you speak, read, and write with more confidence and accuracy. With my lessons, you can expect individually-tailored materials, friendly conversation, and supportive feedback.

I bring a wealth of English teaching experience to my classes, having worked with learners aged 5 to 70 in contexts ranging from tutoring elementary-aged language learners to leading dynamic conversation classes for working professionals. I'll make sure you have fun and learn a ton, whether you need a basic English refresher, intensive test preparation, or practice improving your grammar and pronunciation.

Do you feel that people have problems understanding you? Or perhaps you feel less confident at work due to your accent. As it is not phonetic, English is a tricky language to pronounce!

I am a Native British CELTA qualified English teacher with over 8 years of experience. In the last 5 years, I have helped dozens of students to improve their pronunciation and even develop a British accent.
During these classes, I can help you to do the same!
This takes place through studying sounds, phonics, mouth placement, listening and lots and lots of practice. All classes are tailored to your own pronunciation and accent needs. Learning pronunciation is really fun and can even help you to sound better in your native tongue!

I have had great success with students in helping them to speak much clearer and more authentically. After a good amount of training, some students are even able to pass as native speakers!
Although I am a British English speaker, I do have knowledge of American English accents and can help you to develop a more 'international sound' which may be more suitable for your needs.

I currently have hours available for classes online due to COVID-19 restrictions. Working online via Zoom is great! We can use lots more media tools, focus directly on mouth formation and I have had lots of success with it.

English for interviews and academic presentations plus every day social interaction with staff and colleagues.
7-12 year Students welcome to discuss homework in any subject.
12-18 Students welcome to ask for help with their English.
18-Adults students welcome to improve conversation English of Interview prepeartion of public speaking

Do you need to improve your English language skills for study or work purposes. Or do you just want to develop more fluency and be more confident in using English appropriately for a range of social and professional situations?

Whatever your English language learning goals, I can work together with you to devise a program that will make you feel more confident about your English language performance. I have many years of teaching experience, as well as experience in assessment and preparation for IELTS, and Cambridge qualifications from level A2 to C2.

I offer individually tailored lessons in English, drawing on my extensive experience researching and teaching the subject at the University of Cambridge — from which I am about to obtain a PhD, have an MPhil, and where I have for the past almost four years also provided instruction and dissertation supervision to undergraduate students across a wide variety of modules (including both more general courses within literary and linguistic history, theory and analysis, such as 'Practical Criticism & Critical Practice I' and 'II', and more specialist courses within texts and contexts of the period 1830–Present, such as 'English Literature & Its Contexts 1830–1945', 'English Literature & Its Contexts 1870–Present' and others) and assessed applicant entrance examinations (including as part of the 'Cambridge English Language Aptitude Test' and 'Cambridge Modern Languages Aptitude Test').

I am especially capable of not only teaching within the subject (or for the purposes of written and/or oral examinations within it), but also improving students' critical and analytical capabilities, and ensuring they can effectively read, analyse, research and write about texts in the arts and humanities, whether for the purposes of examinations or coursework (having assisted across a number of MA dissertations, BA dissertations, papers and assignments, EPQs, EEs, IAs, and other extended pieces of independent work — from those in literature and language to those in political and social studies, with essential academic skills being, after all, highly transferable).
