I'm Ryan, I am a Canadian Certified English TESOL instructor.  I am a Native English speaker, currently living in Mexico.  I have taught all ages and abilities.  In the past I have taught at an English school but now I am mostly teaching online, which I enjoy al lot!  I love teaching English to beginners, intermediates and I also really look forward to helping advanced leaners prep for IELTS, CELPIP or even preparing you for your next job interview.  

In my classes we will work on conversation skills, grammar, phrasal verbs, idioms, and new vocabulary, also we can review any current English school work you have.   I know that I was talking a little fast in my video, but I promise to slow down in our class as my students ability dictates.  

Everyone learns in different ways, I'll quickly find out what's the best way to teach to you and we'll have fun doing it.  Whether you are a beginner or need some help with your conversation skills I will be happy to assist you!

Hi, I’m Liz. I’m a native English speaker and I have spent most of my life living and working in London, England.

I have a CELTA qualification for teaching English as a foreign language, and I also have a BA in English Literature from a central London university.

My teaching experience has been predominately online in 1-2-1 lessons, but I also have experience teaching in person to groups of children at language camp in the UK.

I plan bespoke lessons specifically to meet your needs. During the trial, or initial lesson I will spend time getting to know you and thinking about how I can best help you to meet your goals. This may be by working together on a structured curriculum, or perhaps you need to focus on your speaking skills so you can improve your confidence.

I use a variety of materials, including course books, online exercises and news articles.

I have also helped some of my students to prepare for their English Literature exams, here in the UK, or internationally. I particularly enjoy these lessons as I am passionate about literature.

I would love to help you on your language journey so I hope to meet you soon.

I focus on creating a relaxed, friendly, and welcoming atmosphere during my lessons. I encourage my students to make mistakes because that's the only way to master a language.

Are you looking for a native English speaker to master your English conversation with? I would love to help you fine-tune* your grammar and expand your language to a native speaker’s level. My name is Katherine. I am from London.

My focus is helping intermediate and advanced students reach a C1/C2 level. I tend to focus on pronunciation, phrasal verbs, idioms, complex grammar and conditionals. My classes are completely conversation focused. I always have a plan for the lesson and I love talking about weird and wonderful things.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

I only teach adults.
I do not teach complete beginners.
Language teaching is not my only job. Because of this, I can only commit to one class per week for new students.

See you soon!

* fine-tune = to make something perfect with small adjustments
