English lessons by Native speaker from London. All ages!
I specialize in teaching children and adults. I make learning creative and fun and completely tailor made to each student's learning style and strengths. I place a strong emphasis on intuitive learning through speaking and reading and I let the grammar and vocabulary knowledge build naturally. I do follow textbooks when required but I also lesson plan around it, using the student's interests to make the class interesting.

Language Learning Coach - Learn HOW to learn a language, use it with ease and have great conversations
“I feel stuck”
These words I hear again and again, from beginners to advanced.
The majority of students who come to me are frustrated.
They spent many years studying languages at school. They’ve spent both their time and lots of money.
Only to find themselves still struggling to form a sentence. Still struggling to be able to understand a native speaker.
If you’re here then I’m assuming you share some of these same struggles.
You get confused trying to memorize grammar rules, remember vocabulary, and makes sentances. You don’t know how to learn every day. You get distracted and then you feel too tired to keep going.
Believe it or not, I’ve been there too and to be honest, it sucks
to have another language is to possess a second soul
Charlemage
Now, I want you to trust me on your language journey
Imagine finally knowing exactly what to do when you sit at your desk to learn a language.
Imagine knowing how to learn grammar, how to remember vocabulary and make it stick, how to speak, and how to write beautiful sentences.
Imagine going on holiday somewhere and interacting with locals. Laughing, eating, dancing and living life in a different language.

English lessons with a qualified native speaker from England!
Hello there and welcome to my profile!
Would you like to practise your speaking skills and become more fluent in English?
Would you like someone to proof-read important documents or help you with phrasing sentences?
Would you like to feel more confident helping your children with their schoolwork?
If you said yes to one or more of these questions, you're in the right place!
I am a native English speaker with a clear accent. I grew up in Surrey, England, and lived in UK until I was 22. After receiving my Classics degree from University of Cambridge I moved abroad to continue learning languages (German, French, Spanish) and teaching English. Currently I also work as a nanny and a dance teacher.
I have a very good level of German (B2), and some understanding of Swiss German, having lived in Switzerland for over three years.
As a teacher and tutor, I am very kind and patient. I listen to my students’ needs and plan lessons accordingly. I am TEFL qualified and teach children as well as adults – I have several years' experience working with children of all ages.
I look forward to meeting you soon!
Best wishes,

Homework support and foreign language courses - connect fun and efficiency
Languages connect people all over the world. Learning a language does not only mean being able to communicate in a foreign country but with languages, we also get to know a new culture and different habits or ways of life. Languages open many doors and it is never too late to learn a new one.

English lessons with a qualified ENGLISH SPEAKER from England, all levels, A-Levels IGCSEs IELTS...
Qualified English professor from England, I have a BA and MA in Linguistics (English). I am also qualified for the IELTS/TOEFL exams, IGCSEs A-Levels. I can also correct your written work (university thesis...). I adapt my lessons according to the level and needs of the student. We will work together on grammar, reading, speaking and listening. I will correct your pronunciation and I can give you some lessons based on phonetics. If you wish, we can also work on more specific subjects such as business, medicine, literature, interpreting etc.
I travel a lot but that doesn't stop me from giving the lessons via webcam, very appreciated in general by the students (the notes written by the teacher are saved in the conversation, possibility to share the screen for interactive activities, no need to run to the teacher's house 😉 ). You can always try a course and judge for yourself (30 min or 1 hour).
All the students who have had the lessons with me on Apprentus have repeatedly booked the lessons (as well as my former student Justine who had her lessons during the Covid and at that time, I was stuck abroad ;-) ). Recently, I had the pleasure to see my student improving from 20% to 90% on her English writing exam after only a few lessons. She has been taking lessons with me for almost a year and would like to continue her lessons. 😊
Still not sure whether the course is for you? Send me a message and I'll be glad to get back to you! See you soon ! 😊

Accent Reduction for non-native English speakers (USA or UK English)
Welcome! I specialize in aiding non-native English speaking professionals with accent reduction. I can help you learn either the American or British English accent. I'm also able to aid a client in public speaking skills if desired.
I am a native American English speaker (born and raised in the USA), and I am a professional private voice instructor. I have several years experience teaching languages and specialize in English diction. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Music Education: Vocal Performance and therefore have the ability to cater my lessons exactly to each individual student's needs. I specialize in developing a keen, discerning ear, and connecting that identification of sound to slight physical alterations that can make a big difference for you in your daily professional and social life.
I can help you communicate more articulately and efficiently. First I help you achieve the correct recognition and production of the speech sounds necessary for English. I will then help you use correct intonation patterns, stress, and rhythm in conversational speech. Accent Reduction will help you speak more clearly, freely, and directly.
Feel free to send me a quick message, and we can set up a lesson. I look forward to meeting you!

I am a native English speaker and have years of experience as a university academic English lecturer (including IELTS workshops). I know university's expectations for students' speaking abilities and how the IELTS tests this.
Together we can cover the structure of the test and practice so that you gain some experience before the actual test date.
