Living on the south coast of England, only 2 hours from London, I was trained to train 35 years ago, and have been helping people improve their English on a private one-to-one basis for more than 25 years.
I have a clear speaking voice, with no regional accent – which learners find easy to understand, and a friendly collaborative approach, rather than a dictatorial teaching style.
Learning a new language can be challenging. Sometimes we feel we have reached a plateau and feel disheartened. In these situations, we need somebody who will be patient and take time to help us. I also know how frustrating it can be when we find it difficult to find the nuances that help us to express ourselves fluently. I understand. I will help you progress.
It is natural to be nervous when learning to speak another language, but I promise not to scare you! I will help you overcome those nerves and develop confidence & competence in the areas that you need it most.
I have the necessary pedagogy to help you with grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, listening skills and the varied styles of writing. (TEFL qualified with Distinction, 150-hour course). I also have more than 30 years’ experience in public speaking and giving presentations, so if you need to practice those skills in English I can help you with that.

She suggested very well-organized way of studying English. She is also a very patient teacher who can wait for the students when they're thinking what to say. I could feel she has a lot of English teaching experience.
