What is a Skype English class?
A Skype English class is a regular, one-to-one online lesson using Skype's convenient, high quality videocall technology. Each class lasts 60 minutes and offers face-to-face, real British English conversations.
From my office in London, I will help you to improve your British English language skills. As a Cambridge qualified English tutor, with more than 10 years of experience, you can be confident that you and your family will receive the best service. Please see below for some of the services I offer.
​
Real Conversation
I want to help you to speak English confidently and fluently. With regular weekly practice you will learn new vocabulary, improve your pronunciation and speak more easily.
​
60 minute classes take place in the comfort of your home, office, hotel (or car in heavy traffic!) We will use fun, interesting and real British online learning materials, such as UK newspapers, radio shows and podcasts to improve your language.
Homework is included and all levels are welcome, from elementary to advanced. I teach classes to students around the world from my office here in London.
