Improve Your English Through Conversation Practice

From 12 £ /h

In this class, we practice conversational English by diving into the stories we love. Instead of dry grammar drilling, our focus is entirely on natural discussion centered on books, writing, and cinema. We will chat about character psychology, narrative themes, and storylines. We can even read and analyze short book excerpts or script pieces together, depending on what makes your heart beat faster.

As a writer, I'm especially interested in how language creates emotion, reveals personality, and brings stories to life. Together, we'll explore not only what characters say, but why they say it that way, and how you can use those same natural expressions to sound more confident and natural in your own English.

Don't worry—you don't need to be a literary critic to enjoy these lessons. We use stories as a starting point for conversation, not as an excuse to overanalyze every page or scene. Whether you enjoy discussing your favorite novel, breaking down an unforgettable movie scene, or simply chatting about fictional worlds, the goal is to create a relaxed environment where English feels alive and enjoyable.

It's all about enjoying the language instead of seeing it as something intimidating. Yes, I will correct your mistakes, but mistakes are one of the most valuable parts of learning. They show us what to improve and help build lasting confidence. My goal is for every lesson to feel engaging, encouraging, and something you genuinely look forward to.

This is an open, friendly space for anyone who wants to build real-world speaking confidence, expand their vocabulary, and share their enthusiasm for books and movies. Every lesson is tailored to your interests, goals, and pace, because I believe we learn best when we're genuinely interested in what we're talking about.

MULTILINGUAL LISTENING SUPPORT:
To make your lessons completely stress-free, you are welcome to use your native language whenever you get stuck. I have a strong passive understanding (listening and reading) of several languages, which means I can easily understand you if you speak or write in:

•English (Fluent - MA Degree)
•Serbian (Native)
•Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese & German (Listening & Reading comprehension)

Note: While I mostly understand these languages when you use them, our actual conversation and explanations will be conducted in English or Serbian.

TECHNICAL DETAILS FOR ONLINE LESSONS:
I conduct my lessons via Google Meet (the easiest option—no installation required, you just click the link I send you) or Microsoft Teams, depending on your preference. During our sessions, we will actively use screen sharing, digital learning materials, and interactive notes to ensure your learning experience is highly effective and engaging.

Extra information

To ensure high-quality preparation and seamless material selection, all session bookings must be requested at least 48 hours in advance. Upon booking, please send a quick note sharing your favorite genres, movie preferences, or book interests so we can tailor our reading and excerpt analysis exactly to what you love!

About Me

Hi!

I am an English teacher and a writer with an MA in English Language and Literature and a TEFL certification. More than anything, I am a massive books and movies enthusiast. And I mean MASSIVE. If I could, I would spend all my time reading books, writing books, and watching movies.

I believe that the best way to learn and practice a language is through the stories we love and the characters that are close to our hearts. Stories present English in context. Instead of memorizing isolated vocabulary lists, you'll discover how people naturally express emotions, solve problems, joke, argue, persuade, comfort one another, and build relationships. Learning vocabulary through meaningful situations makes it easier to remember and much easier to use in real conversations.

In our sessions, we focus on natural conversational English by exploring various stories and their effective use of the English language to make us feel something, even if it’s bad.

Depending on your interests, we can:

• Read and analyze short book excerpts

• Break down script pieces and dialogue

• Discuss compelling character arcs

• Engage in casual, creative conversations

• Watch short clips about vocabulary or stress usage

My lessons are ideal for intermediate and advanced learners who already know the basics of English but want to sound more natural and speak with greater confidence. They're also a great fit for people who love literature, films, television series, or storytelling and want language practice that feels engaging rather than repetitive. Beginners are equally welcome. If you're just starting your English journey, we'll use carefully selected materials and adapt the pace so you can learn through stories from day one instead of relying solely on traditional exercises.

My classes are an open, friendly space for anyone who wants to build confidence, expand their vocabulary, and genuinely enjoy the learning process. It's not about avoiding mistakes—they're one of the most valuable parts of learning. Whether you're learning English for work, travel, university, or simply because you love books and films, every lesson is tailored to your interests. I believe the best conversations happen when we're discussing something we genuinely care about.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.
