There is one main reason why you should have English lessons with me – I am a qualified native English specialist and I will help you to develop confidence and skills by tailor-made English lessons targeted at your individual needs and weaknesses.

I offer all different levels of English courses in individual, private lessons. I also teach groups.

My goal is to prepare you to develop skills in English to function more effectively in academic, professional and social settings. Using an individual approach will help you to achieve fast results as soon as possible.

In order to ensure the most appropriate help, all students are given an intake assessment and interview in order to find out their precise needs.

Conversation course contents

Many of my students need to improve their speaking skills in order to be able to study in English. Others need to be able to speak in English for business purposes or for leisure travel. Whatever your need, I will tailor a course specifically for you.
