A Tailored, Conversational Approach for Real-World Confidence

My Teaching Philosophy:
I believe that language is a living tool for communication, not just a subject to be studied. My goal is not to fill your head with rules, but to build your confidence and fluency so you can express yourself clearly and effectively in any situation—from a business meeting to a casual conversation with friends. I create a supportive, patient, and engaging environment where making mistakes is not just okay—it’s an essential part of the learning process.

My Experience & Unique Perspective:
I am a native English speaker from Scotland with over six years of experience living and working in the United States. This unique background allows me to provide you with a rich, nuanced understanding of the English language. I don't just teach one version of English; I give you the tools to understand and adapt to different accents, dialects, and cultural contexts, particularly the differences between British (Scottish) and American English.

Who I Specialize In Helping:
My classes are particularly beneficial for professionals and advanced learners who already have a grasp of grammar but need to:

Improve fluency and conversational speed.

Sound more natural and use common idioms and phrasal verbs.

Navigate the specific language of their industry (business, tech, etc.).

Prepare for presentations, meetings, or interviews.

Class Content & Dynamics:
My classes are highly interactive and conversation-focused. While I tailor every lesson to your specific goals, a typical class might include:

Conversation Starter: We'll begin with a discussion topic based on your interests, current events, or a professional scenario you're facing. This is the core of our session.

Skill Building: Based on our conversation, I will naturally introduce and explain:

Key Vocabulary & Phrases: Relevant to the topic.

Idioms & Phrasal Verbs: That native speakers actually use.

Pronunciation & Intonation: Tips to make your speech clearer and more natural.

Targeted Practice: We might engage in:

Role-Plays: Simulating real-life situations like client calls, negotiations, or social events.

Discussion of Articles/Videos: To practice comprehension and debate skills.

Constructive Feedback: Throughout the class, I will provide gentle, immediate correction and note down key points. At the end, we'll review these takeaways together so you have clear goals for your independent practice.

My Methodology in a Nutshell:

Communicative Approach: Emphasis on interaction and meaningful communication.

Student-Centered: Content is tailored to your interests, needs, and goals.

Practical & Relevant: You learn the language you will actually use.

Supportive Environment: A patient and encouraging space to practice and learn.

What You Will Gain:

Increased confidence and fluency in speaking.

A broader, more natural vocabulary.

sharper listening skills for different English accents.

A deeper understanding of cultural nuances.

I offer both online and in-person classes with updated rates.
