English lessons tailored to the student’s specific requirements
The first two lessons are FREE. The first is a half-hour introductory session, and the second is a full one-hour lesson tailored to the student’s current English level. This will give potential students an idea of the type of lessons we use.
Potential students are required to complete a questionnaire to assess their current English level. This enables me to create engaging interactive lessons tailored to their standards and future requirements.

Creating a plan that works for you
Through my personalised coaching, I’ll work alongside you to develop an integrated plan to achieve your desired English language level. This could be to improve your general English for work, academic entry, conversational skills, or business English. If required, I can also tailor a planned study path for taking IELTS exams.
I do not belong to any agencies. I prefer to work as an independent English tutor. This way, I can tailor the lessons to the students and choose the most suitable lessons for them without interference.
I specialise in tutoring teenagers and adults whose first language is not English. I use a structured curriculum with lessons that are interesting and engaging for the best outcomes for my students.
