    Business and Legal Second Language English for Professionals and Students (including Real Estate Agents)
    I offer 2 approaches to ensure that you improve the level of your Business or Legal English performance. One will be content-driven, structured lessons extending your vocabulary and brushing up on your grammar. The other will be more chilled and conversational, where I sneak in some new vocab, introduce useful expressions and correct your grammar. Either way, we will work to improve your speaking, writing, reading and listening skills to increase your confidence to use English in your daily work functions and tasks, such as formal emails, report writing, negotiations, presentations and court appearances. Confidence is key and I am sure I can instill it in you. I can assure you that once your confidence improves so will your ability to use English in whatever form is required.
