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.

✨What is Move and Shake Your English?✨
It’s my personal approach to English learning that blends language, culture and self-expression. It’s for curious, open-minded learners who want to grow, connect and share through English.

In my classes you will find:

• Engaging, conversation-based lessons
• Interesting real-life and cultural topics
• Natural, everyday English
• Optional preparation tasks
• Personalised feedback and tips
• Support and encouragement every step of the way

Let’s Move & Shake YOUR English — together.

Hi there, 

My name is Vicki and I am a CELTA-qualified English teacher for speakers of other languages. CELTA is the teaching certificate issued by Cambridge University. I specialize in Business and Academic English but I also teach general English classes as well. I have been teaching both group and private lessons for about two and a half years. I have an academic background (a Ph.D. in Social and Political Thought and a Bachelor of Arts with First Class Honours in Art History and Political Studies). My time at university has developed my understanding and use of the English language to an advanced level. I have taught students from all over the world and of all ages. I highly enjoy getting to know people from all around the world. 

I am a New Zealander living in Germany, and as a language learner myself (German and Maori), I know how important it is to enjoy the learning process and to feel safe to make mistakes. I am a very friendly and encouraging teacher and I strive to adapt my lessons to my students' specific needs, wants, and interests. I am also always upskilling as a teacher, participating in webinars and further training opportunities whenever possible in order to learn new teaching techniques. 

Students that take lessons with me also gain access to the Expemo App at no extra charge, enabling them to easily practice the new vocabulary after class as well. In my lessons, I use audio clips, videos, and readings. I also use authentic materials, such as news articles. You are also welcome to bring your own material to class to work on - for example an email you are preparing for work. 

In addition to language lessons, I can also help with editing texts such as scripts and emails.

Please note, that while I can understand a lot of German my spoken level is B2. 

Please also note that we can use Microsoft Teams if you prefer that to Google Meets.

Hopefully I will speak to you soon,

Vicki

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! I'm teacher Dio and I have been a teacher for over a decade. I love what I do - I am passionate about languages. I speak 3 languages (Portuguese, Spanish and of course, English). I've lived in Germany, Ireland, and I just recently moved to Spain. I am telling you this because that means I KNOW how learning a language works.  

Something that is important to know is that you DON'T need to live in an English-speaking country to learn English effectively. Everything really is all about you taking some minutes of your day to study and to surround yourself with the language! I am a certified teacher and my experience over the years shows that you don't need to be brilliant, you just need to be committed in order to learn another language.

Some other info about me:

I am certified by the Cambridge University (CELTA), and I also hold a TEFL Certificate. I have been teaching English for over 10 years, and I have helped students from all around the world. Currently I offer two main courses:

- CONVERSATIONAL ENGLISH - This course focuses on fluency, pronunciation, learning a lot of new vocabulary and preparing presentations about different topics! - There are lots of different topics and you can choose from!

- IELTS & FCE/CAE EXAM PREPARATION - I have a 25-lesson course that will teach you EVERYTHING you need to know to pass the IELTS/CAE exams with flying colors! - In addition to that, I have a lot of extra materials you can use to improve your grammar and writing skills!  

If your English level isn't very high, we can also discuss a course that will be aimed to give you a solid base so that you feel confident to express yourself in English.

Thank you so much for reading through this page and I look forward to meeting you!
