If you want a teacher who is creative, knowledgeable and has a deep level of teaching skill, then I’m the right person for you.  I’m not only a native speaker teacher but I’m also a teacher with a deep understanding of how English works. In addition, I really know how to teach English one-to-one, which is not a skill many online teachers have. I understand that it takes special skills to work with an individual learner and I’ve developed those skills through more than 20 years of one-to-one teaching. I’m a creative teaching professional who knows how to communicate with English learners and knows how to make learning interesting, challenging and fun.

My lessons can help you with English exams (FCE, CAE, CPE and IELTS), English for your professional business life, for conversation practice and for improving your general English. My online English teaching system has been carefully developed over almost ten years and I believe it’s one of the best you can find on the Internet today.

After I receive your application, I will reply to you via email to schedule your free demo class. I will also add you to my Skype contacts list so that we’ll be ready to talk to each other in the demo on Skype.

It will be better if you are ready for the demo by downloading the correct version of TeamViewer for the demo and our possible future lessons. To download TeamViewer visit the download links at the bottom of every page in my site.

In my lessons, I use a unique combination of Skype and TeamViewer, which is the program that lets you see the lesson  from my computer. In the videos below, you can see me teaching real students online via Skype. In a lesson, you will see a lesson in real-time in the same way you see in the video. This makes learning more interactive and fun because there’s always something to see and talk about in a lesson.

Use Skype to talk to me in a lesson. This will give us the best possible audio quality in our lessons so that we can hear each other clearly. Download Skype for free from the Skype website.

You will need a good, stable Internet connection. When we meet for our demo class, we can test your Internet connection to see if it’s fast enough for Skype English lessons.

I share my lesson materials with students by using Google Drive. It will be more convenient for you if I use your Gmail address for this. If you don’t have one, please sign-up.

A headset microphone will give you the best possible audio quality in your lessons. It will be much better if you use a headset and not the built-in microphone on your tablet or PC.

You will need to install the free program TeamViewer QuickJoin so you can see the lesson from my computer. This is a small program you can download from the links at the bottom of this page.

It’ s possible to have lessons from every kind of platform apart from phones. You can have lessons via Windows PCs, Mac computers, Linux systems, Chromebooks and even tablets!

My lessons will be 100% customised to your learning needs. This means you will only practise what you need to practise and nothing else. Customised lessons mean you take control of your learning.

During a lesson, I will listen to how you use English and give you feedback on your vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation. I will make notes in a lesson document which I send after the lesson.

My teaching is based on communication with the learner. This means you will be practising your speaking skills at all times in a lesson and learning to improve skills in a natural context.

See the lesson in real-time using TeamViewer. Experience interactive learning by seeing my computer screen on yours. A visual way of learning that’s better than just using Skype alone.

Get better value for your money in my system with 60-minute English lessons! Most online English teachers will only offer you 45 or 50 minute lessons. More learning value for money!

It’s possible to listen to your lesson again via an MP3 file which I will share with you after the lesson. Helps you to understand more about your pronunciation and native speaker language.

I will create a Google Drive folder and share it with you via Gmail. You will access all lesson files and materials from this folder. All your lesson materials will be securely stored in the cloud!

In my lessons, you can choose if you want to use a webcam in the lesson or not. During a lesson we can use the TeamViewer webcam which is a small window in the bottom of the screen.
