All my lessons are online via Zoom and can be up to 1 hour and 30 minutes long. I think it’s better to do short and frequent sessions to help you every day; maybe even just 30 minutes to practice memorising words and phrases.
I will begin with good conversation starters and build a structured short paragraph that you can remember off by heart about who you are and what you do. You can refer back to this any time you need.
I will get you to repeat write and speak essential joining words like “and” “with” “without” “for” “because”, ensuring your spelling and pronunciation is strong. We will use them in different situations. During each lesson you will have opportunity to ask questions and we can use translation apps to help you. If you get stuck, just say so and I can repeat a word or sentence. I will patiently take you through each lesson step by step. It doesn’t matter what stage of English learning you are at, I will be able to help as someone who speaks native English. I can help you discern accents within the English spoken language. Most of all we will make it fun: You will learn a bit about English culture and our sense of humour, for example, why we always complain about the weather! This will encourage you to keep going even when it is difficult. Tell me why you are learning English and I can choose relevant topics of conversation so you can learn phrases you need to feel confident! So come on, let’s talk and happy learning!
