1:1 Conversation Classes
1:1 Conversation Classes
Get talking. Get confident. Get better.
My 1:1 conversation classes are designed to get you talking and fully engaged from the first minute. Each session is built around a topic that matters to you — giving you the chance to speak at length, take part in real discussions, and expand your vocabulary naturally in context.
While you speak, I listen carefully. I note your errors, your slips, the moments where there's a better way to say something. My feedback is specific, practical, and immediate — not vague encouragement, but real insight into what needs to improve and how to improve it.
Students leave every session with more confidence, clearer expression, and a precise understanding of what to work on next.

Group Speaking Classes
Group Speaking Classes
Real conversations. Real people. Real confidence.
There's something a 1:1 lesson simply can't give you — the experience of talking with different people, hearing different opinions, and navigating real unpredictable conversation.
My group speaking classes bring together a small group of motivated non-native professionals for a structured, topic-based session every Tuesday and Thursday at 7-8pm UK time. I lead every session — setting the pace, introducing the topic, and keeping the conversation focused and productive.
You'll speak more than you expect. Discussions go further, get livelier, and push you in ways that solo practice never does. And just like my 1:1 classes, I'm listening throughout — stepping in to show you a better way to say something, correct a slip, or introduce a phrase that lifts your expression.
This is English in action. Not a classroom. Not a chat group. A structured speaking experience that builds real confidence week by week.
