I know that two of the toughest things about language learning are grammar and speaking! This can be especially difficult when trying to learn languages online, or with a teacher you perhaps don't click with.

In my classes, I create a relaxed and safe space for you to discover your confidence and potential, to have an easy conversation and get used to spontaneous communication. Within the class, we will make sure to cover the grammar basics and tailor the session to the topics being covered at the time. The format will be conversational - an informal chat on the topic of the week, in which I ask questions including a variety of grammatical structures, tenses and techniques to get you used to using a diverse range of structures in everyday speech. Where required, we will focus on any grammar sections that are particularly tricky. We will also go through reading, listening comprehension and writing. Having done my exams fairly recently, I am familiar with exam technique and mark schemes, so we can also go through these to make sure you know how to hit those marks!
