    My specialties

    Conversational English

    I've taught many students who* Want to talk freely with a native speaker on an interesting topic because they never get the opportunity* Want to be more confident when speaking in social situations, or when travelling, meeting new people or in online forums* Want to be confident and fluent in meetings, interviews and in the workplace generallyI'll give you the opportunity to speak, and provide feedback without interrupting the flow of your speech.

    Business English

    I've taught many students who need English at work to speak to clients and colleagues, to hold meetings or participate in meetings, to negotiate, to market and sell products or to have a successful job interview.

    IELTS

    I've helped many students to prepare for the IELTS speaking test to study abroad, to improve their career or to live and work abroad. There are many useful tips and strategies to learn that can improve the final result, whether you're aiming for 6, 7 or 8.

    British English

    My grandparents were from the UK, so we only spoke British English at home.

    English for traveling

    I've taught many English courses that help students to communicate better when travelling. You need to use the specific vocabulary that might be required in different situations, from talking to airline staff, to changing currency. You might even have to help a tourist who asks for help!

    ESL

    I've been teaching ESL for more than 25 years. I've taught Elementary, Intermediate and Advanced levels to college and university students as well as working professionals who need more of a business focus.

    General English

    I've taught general courses from Elementary to Intermediate to Advanced for many years. I've taught teens and working professionals who need to improve their English reading, writing, listening, speaking, vocab or grammar for study or work purposes.

    Business & Work

    I've taught many students who need English at work to communicate with clients, colleagues and suppliers, to hold meetings or participate in meetings, to negotiate, to market and sell products or to have a successful job interview.
