Michael Harris

As the founder and managing director of TalkingEnglish121, I am proud of what we achieve. We have seen time and time again the improvement in the level of our students as we teach English classes, and see people find the confidence to deliver presentations with ease. All this is done by working with students teaching English online and presenting skills.

One-to-one
All our English classes & Personal skills classes are carried out one-to-one. This allows you, the tutor, to help you with the things you struggle with and helps to build a professional working relationship with your tutor helping you to relax more. We teach English online offering an educational service, we also help people with their presentations, and interview skills. Even just as simple as learning how to attend a virtual meeting on platforms like Skype, Zoom, Teams, etc. Without being terrified.

Rule 1 - Relax this is not school
This is not a school if you make mistakes, that is not seen as a bad thing, but a good thing, it allows us to learn. We learn far more from what we do wrong than from what we do right. Your tutor will NEVER get cross with you, no matter how many errors you make. That is key to the success of our English classes.

Rule 2 - Stop us as many times as you need
All our tutors are trained to keep calm, so you can interrupt, and ask them to repeat things as many times as you need. Once you understand we will move on. use your brakes!! Remember we teach English online.

Rule 3 - Have Fun
We firmly believe that you do not learn more when you are bored. We, therefore, aim to make our English classes entertaining. It is okay to laugh, and to share with your tutor how you are feeling. This is conversation training, and sometimes in conversations, we will just want to talk, other times we may want to do more listening. The English classes are yours, so ENJOY them.
