Hi, I am Harriet, a native English speaker and qualified teacher with over 20 years teaching experience.

The lessons are structured around you as an individual and start with finding out what you want to learn or improve and why. We will then agree a plan of interesting and challenging activities to help you meet your goals. I teach general conversation skills, including increasing confidence and learning new vocabulary, and Business English. I have helped many students successfully prepare for job interviews or to take on new roles. I can also help you prepare for language tests and focus on pronunciation.

The lessons will be lively and varied, using a range of methods, materials and contexts. We will regularly review your progress and goals and I will suggest activities outside of class to help you practice what you have learnt. I am experienced in teaching beginners to advanced level students from teenagers to adults. I have Masters degrees in Creative Writing and Psychology and so am able to use and teach both creative and academic language skills. 

 I live in Hove in southeast England and also spend a lot of time in Lisbon, Portugal. I am trying to learn Portuguese and finding it challenging but fun.  I love meeting new people and finding out about them and what motivates them. I enjoy reading, eating out, drinking coffee, walking, exploring new places, TV and movies and talking to people. I look forward to meeting you and taking our first lesson together!

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, everyone! I'm Marissa. I've been teaching English my entire professional life, since obtaining my certification (CELTA) in 2011. I'm a native speaker of English from the U.S. who has taught both online and at schools/companies around the world.

In our lessons, I will provide you with materials to match your level and goals. We can follow a structured curriculum, focus on a particular topic or skill, discuss an article, or practice for an upcoming presentation/interview-- it's up to you. I take a communicative approach and prioritize your speaking time while correcting your mistakes and offering useful grammar structures and vocabulary.

✨ Highly qualified (CELTA & DELTA) ✨ Seventeen years' experience 🎯 Achieve the exam results you need (IELTS, FCE, CAE, CPE) 🗣️ Boost your speaking confidence✨ Enjoy your learning experience

Hello, I'm Louise and I'd be happy to help you on your English learning journey.

I believe communicative lessons are the most effective, so although we will cover all the skills in our sessions together, they will always be combined with plenty of speaking practice.

The most frequent feedback I get from my students is that I’m very patient and encouraging, and that they love the energy in my classes.

Exams - IELTS (Academic, General and Life Skills), FCE, CAE, CPE
I teach effective strategies for tackling the exams. 
My experience working as a Cambridge speaking examiner means I know what the examiners are looking for in the speaking part of the test. 
I help you to develop your English skills to push up your level and achieve the exam results that you need. 
I focus the lessons on the areas of the exam you find the most challenging ensuring you take the exam with confidence. 
In addition to this, I provide plenty of practice test materials to fully prepare you for the exam.

General English
Would you like to improve your grammar and vocabulary? I can help you whatever your level - from beginner to advanced. I explain grammar rules clearly and give you plenty of speaking practice using the new language.
I will help you build your vocabulary range; improve your understanding of phrasal verbs, and teach you effective strategies for remembering new words and phrases.

Whatever your English learning needs, I invite you to book a trial lesson with me and we can talk about how I can create a learning plan specifically designed to meet your needs.

Let me introduce myself to you, and watch my video. 

Hello! I'm Julian. I am from South Africa. I have a 420-hour TEFL Diploma (Level 5) which is equivalent to a CELTA-qualification. I specialise in Business English, Job Interview Preparation and Conversational Fluency. My speciality is helping business professionals express their ideas more clearly and confidently. 

 I am a professional and well-organized teacher who can:

✔ create lessons which are both enjoyable and challenging

✔ easily adapt to the needs of my students  

✔ immediately identify problem areas in your communication that needs improvement.  

✔ offer constructive feedback which helps you to improve from lesson to lesson.  

✔ create a learning plan to track your progress

Many of my students have shared their success stories after having classes with me. Some of these stories include being able to do a presentation in English for the first time, participating effectively in business meetings, closing a deal in a negotiation and passing a job interview. 

Active learning 👌 (= learning by doing) is the foundation of all my classes and is the best way to improve your English level. There are NO boring lectures in my classes. Some learning activities include:  

✔ Real-life simulations, scenarios, games, roleplays and case-studies to practice skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving and decision-making.  

✔ Mock job interviews that reflect the actual situation you will experience.  

✔ Conversational English targeting skills such as opinion sharing, critical thinking, fluency building and active listening.

About Me: Hello! I'm Tony. I'm from North East Scotland. I'm a TEFL and CeOLT certified English teacher and I love learning languages and helping people succeed with their goals so that they can achieve what they want from life. I want you to succeed. Together, we will make that happen! 

• Do you feel like your English is still not as good as you want it to be?
• Do you feel anxious, nervous or lack confidence when you have to speak English?
• Do you feel that it's difficult to understand people because they talk too fast or that you're missing the words you need to express yourself?
• Do you need someone to help you achieve the level of English you've always dreamed of? Then my lessons are for you!​

In my lessons I will:

• Create lessons that will target areas of English you don't have confidence in.
• Send you a document after every lesson with corrections for things you say + explanations for the corrections.
• Give pronunciation and accent reduction assistance if you want to sound more native.
• Make sure you learn something new every lesson and that you're comfortable and enjoying English!

Let's work together, so we can remove "Learning English" from your 'to do' list. 

Book a trial now and let's have fun mastering English!  :) 

Hi, I’m Rob, a native English speaking teacher from Canada currently living in Prague, Czech Republic, with 20 years of ESL and university teaching experience. I work with intermediate to advanced students (B1-C2), with most of my students interested in conversation/communication English (focusing on speaking and listening skills, including fluency, vocabulary, pronunciation and intonation, and grammar), but I’m also happy to work with students on writing and reading.

My teaching style is relaxed, friendly, and engaging—I try to make every lesson an interesting and enjoyable one. But I’m also professional, prepared, organized, and reliable. I rarely use a textbook—some students mainly enjoy having conversation, but I also often use videos and texts of various kinds and even songs to provide a wide variety of topics, new vocabulary, varieties of listening practice, etc., and lessons are individually designed to each student’s level, interests, and requirements.

I’ve taught English in Vietnam and Czech Republic since 2016 and also have 12 years of Canadian university teaching experience in cultural history and in architecture/design. I’m also a writer-artist-designer. I received a professional architecture degree in 1989 and the Trinity College Level 5 English teaching certification in 2019. I’m a native English speaker with an easy-to-understand, neutral Canadian accent.

For the last 2 years, most of my English teaching has been online, though I also enjoy teaching non-virtually. I primarily use and recommend the Zoom platform for online teaching for its reliability, video/sound quality, and support for varieties of teaching resources. Students can use Zoom from their browser or by downloading the app on your computer or phone/tablet (but use of the app on your computer is recommended for the best quality).

So, if this sounds like what you’re looking for, I invite you to sign up for a trial lesson with me, and we’ll take it from there …
