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.

Improve your English fluency outdoors and one-to-one.

I can meet you anywhere within Cambridge, Trumpington or the Shelfords to meet, walk and talk.

I'll help you improve your fluency in English, as well as building and expanding your vocabulary.

I am an enthusiastic, committed teacher - with more than 12+ years experience.

I'd be very happy to help you on your language learning journey!

Just get in touch and we can arrange a session.

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.
