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.

Hi! I’m Sue and I live in beautiful South Africa.

I’m a TEFL certified English teacher and I specialize in business English, conversational fluency, and pronunciation. I also have about 35 years’ experience in the business sector, including 25 years in education.

Do you lack confidence when you have to speak English? Do you wish you sounded more fluent? Do you have to keep repeating yourself because people can’t understand you? Frustrating, isn’t it?!

I want to help you achieve your English-speaking goals and to feel natural when you speak English. As you become more fluent, you will feel more confident. I want you to feel just like a native English speaker. That’s my goal for you!

I’ve taught hundreds of students – just like you – from beginners to advanced.

I’m a fun and patient teacher and my classroom is a relaxed, safe space where it’s okay to make lots of mistakes, because that's how you learn.

My passion is helping people who struggle with pronunciation – those tricky English sounds that are so difficult to say. Every language has unique challenges and I really believe my techniques can help you. Let me work with you to transform your English!

Learning happens in a fun and positive environment and when we experience language in different ways. I use a variety of learning methods: videos, podcasts, interesting texts, role-plays, real-life conversations and simulations. There’ll be lots of opportunities to practice – to build your speaking skills and your confidence. I’ll teach you tips and techniques that you can use, and I’ll give you practical tools to help you improve your English fluency.

Our trial lesson will be mostly conversational, where we’ll talk about your English goals and what you want to achieve. Then, I’ll create a tailored learning plan. We’ll focus on YOUR unique learning needs and I’ll work with you to help you achieve your goals.

If you'd like only conversational classes, we can do that too!

I believe in patient correction and constructive feedback – so that you know what you’re doing well, and areas you should work on. 

In my spare time, I love learning Italian (Yes, I’m a student too!!), so I understand the challenges and frustrations that come with learning a language.

I’m excited to go on this journey with you. Let me help you speak naturally, sound professional, and feel confident.

Book a trial session with me and let’s get started!

Are you looking to improve your English language skills and sound more like a native speaker? Look no further! As a professional English Language Teacher from the UK with both CELTA and TEFL certification, I've been teaching English online full-time since 2016 and have helped countless students achieve their language goals.

My lessons are not just informative but also engaging and interactive, providing you with the personalised attention you need to succeed. I understand that each student is unique, so I tailor each lesson to your needs, learning style and final goal, ensuring you get the most out of every session.

When you take professional lessons with me, you're guaranteed to receive authentic and customised materials that will make your lessons fun and engaging. You'll receive feedback after every lesson, giving you insights into areas you need to work on and hints and tips on how to study for international exams like the IELTS.

Whether you need to work on your speaking, listening, reading or writing skills, I'm here to help. We can discuss a range of topics or review structures you struggle with. Each lesson is designed to improve the skills you need to develop and improve your English overall.

To make your lessons even more engaging, we'll use an interactive document that converts into a feedback form, allowing you to download, print and study it at your convenience. We'll review some aspects from it at the beginning of the following class.

Take the first step towards English language success and book a lesson with me today. Please note that my lessons are aimed at adults aged 18+ and unfortunately, I am unable to offer lessons to children.

Hello! My name is Tim, I’m from England, and I’m a professional English teacher. I trained at International House in London where I gained the Cambridge CELTA qualification, and I’ve worked with students of all levels and of many different nationalities. I’m also a Spanish student (B2-C1 level) so I know how difficult it can be to learn a foreign language!

I use the ‘communicative approach’ to English teaching, which means that you will have lots of opportunities to practise your speaking skills in a relaxed environment and receive helpful feedback. During a lesson, you have many options; for example, you can follow a structured course (like in a language school), you can develop your speaking skills by having conversation classes (if your level is B1+) or I can help you to prepare for an exam such as IELTS. Depending on your goals, I will adapt to you because you are always the protagonist! What’s more, I know how important it is to learn grammar and vocabulary that you can use in the real world, and I also enjoy helping students to improve their pronunciation by exploring how the different sounds in English are produced. I use a variety of interesting materials (such as articles, audios, modern textbooks, and videos) and we can talk about any topic that is of interest to you.

If you want to book a trial lesson, we can start by getting to know each other, I can assess your current level, and then we can create a plan to ensure that you achieve your learning goals. I hope to meet you very soon!

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.

My classes for adults cover:

• Pronunciation
• Comprehension (listening and reading)
• Conversational English (e.g., hobbies, travel, nature, social media, culture, and more.)
• Functional English (e.g., at the supermarket, at the doctor's, at a hotel, at a restaurant, and more.)
• Grammar
• Exam preparation (IELTS and TOEFL)
• Idioms
• Writing 
• Business English

My classes for children cover:

• Vocabulary (e.g., daily routines, animals, hobbies, sports, family, jobs, food, emotions, weather, and more).
• Comprehension (listening and reading)
• Pronunciation
• Basic grammar
• Games (e.g., wordsearches, spot the difference, guessing games, and more.)
• Exam preparation (IELTS and TOEFL)

I believe in tailoring each lesson to meet the students needs. I believe that the student is the most important person in any lesson and that the teacher should focus their material on the students’ goals, interests, and aspirations.

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 have taught all levels of English and all ages. I currently teach 100 percent online and I highly enjoy getting to know people from all over the world. I am also a cross-cultural communication specialist. As a result, I can help you improve your English skills and guide you in how to communicate in culturally appropriate ways. I also 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 developed my understanding and use of the English language to an advanced level.  

I am a New Zealander living in Germany, and as a language learner myself (German), 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. 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. 

Areas that I specialize in are:

Academic English: i.e. learning appropriate vocabulary, practicing writing academic essays, and undertaking reading comprehension tasks.  

Business English: i.e. preparing a presentation and writing an effective email. 

Conversational English; many students have a strong understanding of English grammar and vocabulary, but struggle to hold everyday conversations with native speakers. Conversational classes focus on improving students' abilities to speak more naturally and spontaneously about a range of topics.   

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 B1 and my lessons are normally held completely in English. 

Hopefully I will speak to you soon,

Vicki

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.

About me:

I’m Diana, a friendly and patient English teacher from the beautiful city of Cape Town currently living in Portugal. In 2017, I completed my TESOL and TEYLT trainings and since then I have worked with students from all around the world both in language schools and online. I have lived and taught English in 5 different countries (Spain, Portugal, Indonesia, Turkey and South Africa) to students of all levels (beginners to advanced). In 2021, I became certified to teach Ielts and have thus helped numerous students with  their exam preparations too.

I'm passionate about learning and teaching languages and have studied Portuguese, Spanish, German and Turkish. Through my own language studies, I have learnt that an active conversational approach is the best way to master a language! Some of my other passions include yoga, travel, food and art!:)

My lessons:

My approach to teaching depends a lot on the level and goals of the student. Each student is unique with different necessities so I don’t have a one size fits all proposition. Lessons are tailored to you and are adapted as you progress.Expect to receive a lot of feedback, corrections and if you would like, homework activities.

In our first class, we will have an introductory lesson where I do a speaking evaluation, we get to know each other and we discuss a future learning strategy. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to send me a message :)

I hope to see you soon!
