Hi! I’m Jackie — a native English speaker from the United States with a passion for learning and teaching languages. I currently live in the rainy but beautiful United Kingdom. ☔🇬🇧

I hold a PGCE (Postgraduate Certificate of Education) in Modern Foreign Languages and have been teaching both in the classroom and online since 2011. I love helping people from all over the world improve their English, reach their goals, and enjoy the learning process along the way!

I have a warm, friendly teaching style and want you to feel relaxed and confident in my lessons. I truly believe language learning should be fun, motivating, and something you look forward to. Every lesson is tailored to your interests, learning style, and ambitions so you can see real, meaningful progress.

✨ Accent Coaching & Pronunciation Training ✨
If improving your accent and pronunciation is important to you, you’re in the right place! I am a certified Accent Specialist and specialise in helping learners speak more clearly, naturally, and confidently. I create personalised accent training plans that focus on mouth positioning, key English sounds, stress, rhythm, and intonation — so you don’t just learn what to say, but how to say it comfortably and accurately.

In your trial or first lesson, we’ll discuss your specific goals and design a learning plan that suits you. This may include structured lessons with grammar and comprehension, conversational practice for fluency and confidence, exam preparation (IELTS or TOEFL), or targeted pronunciation and accent work.

I use a wide range of engaging materials including presentations, course books, and authentic articles and videos.

Correcting mistakes is an important part of learning, but I always do this in a kind and supportive way — without interrupting your flow or making you feel nervous. After each lesson, I send you detailed notes with key vocabulary, corrections, and guidance so you can continue improving between lessons.

I would love to support you on your English journey and look forward to meeting you!

Hi, I’m Jocelyn. I’m an Architecture student from Bristol, and I go to Cardiff University. I was previously volunteering as an English teacher at a Bilingual Academy, on my year out living abroad in Seville, and I also completed an Architecture Internship when I was there. For the last two years, I’ve been tutoring students of all ages. These have ranged from pupils preparing for curriculum exams, to learning English as their second language.

I have always made sure to be sympathetic to students' situations, and am flexible with lesson lengths and times. I make every effort to accommodate your needs and targets as a student, to ensure we approach the lesson in a way that works best for you. My aim is to facilitate your learning development with interactive lessons that you can fit into your schedule, without making you feel overloaded.

Having a family background in education has inspired me to gain my TEFL qualification, which has given me the knowledge to be able to teach a range of lessons within the subject of English. These include: Business English for a workplace setting, conversational English, grammar and preparing for curriculum exams, to name just a few.

During lessons, lots of speaking is key, as I thrive on being able to build a good relationship with my students. I’m young and enthusiastic, and always welcome questions. If this approach to learning feels like it could work for you, or you’d like to discuss your objectives in more detail, please feel free to book a trial session. I look forward to meeting you.

I’m Harriet — a friendly, experienced English teacher and native speaker with over 20 years of teaching experience.

Do you want to speak English more confidently or prepare for a job interview? Improve your pronunciation or expand your vocabulary? Whatever your goal, my lessons are designed around you.

At the start, we’ll talk about what you want to achieve and why it matters to you. Then we’ll create a personalised plan with interesting and challenging activities to help you make real progress. My lessons focus on practical communication, helping you feel more confident using English in real-life situations.

I teach general conversation, confidence building, vocabulary development and Business English. I’ve helped many students prepare successfully for job interviews, take on new professional roles, and improve their fluency both in and outside work.

My lessons are lively, supportive and varied. I use a range of materials, topics and activities to keep things engaging and relevant to your interests. We’ll also regularly review your progress, and I’ll suggest simple ways to practise outside our lessons so you keep improving.

I have experience teaching students from beginners to advanced level, from teenagers to adults. I also hold Master’s degrees in Creative Writing and Psychology, which means I can support both creative communication and more formal or academic English.

I have recently moved from Hove in the UK to Portugal and am currently learning Portuguese, so I understand how challenging (and rewarding!) learning a new language can be.

When I’m not teaching, I enjoy walking, reading, exploring new places, drinking good coffee, watching films and meeting people from different cultures.

If you’re looking for fun, structured and motivating lessons that help you speak English with more confidence, I’d love to meet you and start our first lesson together!

Please note that my lessons are aimed at adults aged 18+ and unfortunately, I am unable to offer lessons to children.

Move and Shake Your English with Jane on a language and cultural journey. 

Do you want to use real English to connect with people, explore culture and travel with confidence?

I’m an English Language Coach from Northern Ireland and been teaching English for over 20 years, in Japan, the Caribbean, Europe and now online. My teaching style is warm, natural and focused on helping globally minded learners use real-life English with more ease and meaning.

Over the years, with my CELTA qualification I’ve worked in all areas of ESL and as a Director of Studies, but I now focus on what I love most: helping people MOVE & SHAKE their English, not just speak it better or learn more grammar and vocabulary, but feel and experience English.

If you're someone who enjoys meaningful conversations, exploring different cultures and reflecting on how English can open doors in your life, this is the right place for you.

My lessons combine thoughtful conversation with practical vocabulary and lots of natural speaking practice. They’re relaxed, focused and designed to help you express yourself clearly, not perfectly.  After all, language is about connection not perfection.

Let’s Move & Shake YOUR English — together.

I am a native American from the U.S.  I have been a TEFL certified teacher since 2019.  I am also a certified speech pathologist in the U.S. (since 1992), therefore I have specialized training in American English speech sound production.  I have taught online English classes to hundreds of students from all over the world to help them improve English grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary.  I have worked with students from beginner to intermediate levels.  I always try to find out what your goals are so your lessons can be planned around those goals.  With this tactic, I’ve found students see improvement in their English skills quickly. 

I offer gentle corrections and encouragement.  You will find the lessons to be functional and fun!

I gained my CELTA in 2020 and I have been teaching English ever since, sometimes on-site at St George's International, a North London College, but more often, online, at home, which I really enjoy!

My method; I like to keep to a lesson plan, but only because that gives a class a good structure, making it simpler for students to understand the small part of the language we are focusing on. I keep it interesting by using various tools, like videos, audio tracks, images and games etc.

Aside from teaching I'm an actress and voiceover artist, - I have a strong interest in film and the arts, and occasionally it's fun reading dialogues or using stories/ scripts with students. 

I also travelled quite a lot in my twenties, and love to learn about different cultures and interests,  - I'm interested in what you want from the English language.
