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!

Hi there! I’m Debbie and live in South Africa.

I’m a qualified teacher with a bachelor’s degree and a CELTA qualification from Cambridge - for teaching English as a foreign language. I have over 30 years of experience teaching English in classrooms and online to ALL levels of learners.

I specialize in improving fluency and confidence in daily conversation at home and at work. My approach is holistic which means we will use relevant topics and speaking tasks to learn new words and practice language skills.

My goal is that you improve!

I understand that speaking English fluently and naturally is YOUR goal and that you might need help in a particular area – like grammar accuracy or pronunciation and intonation, or a wider set of active vocabulary. You may struggle with listening or reading or writing. These are all areas I can help you improve – once we have identified what you need.

We’ll use a shared document to record your growing vocabulary and highlight areas you need to fix. You will have a written record of every lesson with notes and tips that I will provide. Lessons will be conversational and fun but also informative. After every lesson you will get detailed and constructive feedback from me, so you know exactly what to work on.

On a personal note, I enjoy travelling with my family and spending time in nature. We have a dog, a few goldfish and 2 adorable guineapigs that keep us company at home. I love connecting with people from all over the world so meeting you is something I’m really looking forward to! 

Book a lesson and let’s get going on your language journey!

Hi there! My name is Alessia and I'm a certified English teacher from Canada. I've been living in Lucca, Italy for the past seven years and I love it! 

I've been teaching for over seven years now. In 2016 I completed my TESOL certificate and shortly thereafter began teaching at a private elementary school. I've worked with people ages 5-55 and my favourite thing about teaching is getting to know people from different cultures and learning all about their customs and traditions. My second favourite thing is seeing my students succeed and achieve their language goals! 

My approach to teaching depends on the individual needs of my students. Each lesson is customized to the unique goals of my students. That being said, you can definitely expect homework in my classes! For conversation lessons, we'll focus on using media to expand your vocabulary and spend the entire lesson speaking about different topics. For those who need a grammar brush-up, we'll use various books to support your learning but still focus on conversation to help you fully integrate what you've just learned! 

I also have experience preparing students for the IELTS exam for both immigration and academic purposes. I absolutely love the IELTS exam in that it provides students with a real challenge and something to aspire to. I have a wide variety of resources that I use to help you prepare which cover everything from grammar and vocabulary to the actual "how-to's" of writing the exam. If you are interested in working with me on exam prep, I suggest AT LEAST 3-6 months to prepare properly for the exam since you'll not only need to improve your language skills but also your exam-taking skills. 

I'm looking forward to getting to know you and supporting you to reach your language goals! 

Hi there! I'm a Native English Teacher from the Unites Sates, with over 12 years of experience teaching students from all over the world. Not only a teacher, but a lover of languages, I speak 3 languages fluently and 5 languages in total. I grew up speaking English and Spanish, and after completing my studies, I decided to move to Hong Kong, where I learned Cantonese (southern Chinese) and taught English for 9 years.

In Hong Kong I taught conversational English as well as English in theater, with an emphasis on natural flowing speech and emotional expression within the dialogues, erasing those old monotone/ robotic style of speaking habits a lot of students picked up in school (no disrespect to the schools! They’ve served their purpose!) I've also taught poetry for students to balance the very technical, Left-brain dominant grammar based lesson with a more expressive, Right-brain dominant and playful form like music and poetry, and theater.

One thing that sets me apart from most English teachers is that I know what it’s like first hand to work and live in a foreign language environment as I've also performed staged dramas in Cantonese! I certainly do know what it’s like to be on stage with all eyes on you, a bunch of native speakers listening to me, who has just learned to speak it a few years ago only! It’s nerve racking at first, but then once you do it, it’s one of the most liberating things you could ever do for your speaking confidence. You really see that communication goes way beyond words! In this era more than ever, communication is key. 

To me, learning a language is like a combination between singing a song, practicing a sport, and getting a new passport! It truly opens up a whole new world of opportunity and self expression. Being able to express yourself calmly, confidently, accurately and most important – creatively, this is the gift I wish to give all of my students.

Hello!

I also love learning languages and have experienced some of the challenges you may be facing now. I truly believe that language learning should be a fun and rewarding process, and I want to transmit that to my students through lessons.

Professional English lessons for adults who need to communicate clearly and confidently at work.

I specialise in Business English, Legal English, interviews, meetings, presentations and professional communication. Lessons are individual and built around the situations you actually face, rather than generic course material.

I have been teaching English since 2010 and have worked with professionals from companies including Siemens, Oracle, Volkswagen, BNP Paribas, AirFrance, PepsiCo, Itaú and JPMorgan.

Before teaching, I worked in law, sales, IT and telecommunications, so I understand the communication demands of professional environments.

My lessons focus on practical improvement: fluency, accuracy, vocabulary, pronunciation and confidence under pressure.

A trial lesson gives us the chance to discuss your goals and identify exactly what you need to improve. From there, I create structured lessons based on your work, your level and your priorities.

I was born in London and have lived and worked in Brazil. I also speak Portuguese, which helps me understand many of the specific challenges Brazilian learners face.

If you need English for your career rather than just English classes, I can help.

Hello, my name is Nicoletta and I am a certified native English tutor from the small island of Cyprus. However, both my parents have British roots and I have grown up speaking English as my primary language. As a person who has always been interested in other countries and cultures, I have embarked on learning new languages myself in the last few years. Most recently Korean! Doing this, I realised how important it is to have someone guide you and support you on your language learning journey. I hope to be that person for you, to aid you and support you with your experience of the English language.

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.
