My Lessons
Private Lessons
The most efficient way to learn a language is to have private lessons. These are tailored to suit your individual needs and learning style, and I can work with you on your personal goals. Learning English in this way is intense, but you will see big improvements with your hard work and my support. All my lessons are available as private lessons.
Group Lessons
Learning in a small group is less efficient than having private lessons but it does give you advantages such as practising with others, sharing ideas, splitting the cost and meeting new people. I limit the group sizes to 4 people online, 8 if it's a face to face lesson. I will ensure that everyone has the opportunity to contribute equally (that no one dominates or stays silent). Please contact me if you are interested in group lessons.
What does a typical lesson consist of?
The lessons are tailored to suit you, and I can be flexible with the style and teaching method.
However, the usual format is:
- 10-15 mins - lesson aims and warm up activity (consists of talking about your week, or recent events in the news. I have found that many students aren't confident in making small talk in a foreign language, yet this is a key way to start a conversation with others).
- 10-15 mins - review of the previous lesson (a chance for you to ask questions about your homework, and to consolidate what we learnt in previous lessons).
- 30-50 mins - new topic or follow on from previous lesson (a chance to learn new skills and focus on a different point of the language).
- 5-10 mins - conclusion (an opportunity to ask any final questions, review the aims of the lessons, discuss plans for the next lesson).
In each lesson, I will correct any mistakes you might make, and encourage you to correct yourself. If there are not many mistakes, I will encourage you to use different expressions, and teach you new ones to incorporate when communicating in English. Don't worry, I won't judge you, and I will only laugh if you know why it's funny!
