1-1 English coaching - intermediate & advanced

One-to-one coaching and conversation with a native speaker of British English, qualified and experienced in teaching and counselling. I am an expert in listening, confidence building and motivation. I help you feel at ease while you practice, and I appreciate the courage it takes to make mistakes as part of learning. I give you constructive feedback on what you aim to improve, whether that is speaking, listening, grammar, or vocabulary, whether for business or pleasure. It is usually best to speak English as much as possible during coaching sessions, but I can speak French - level C1 in the Common European Framework of Reference. I lived in the UK for over 50 years and have lived in France since 2016. From my education, work and hobbies I am very familiar with the English used in academic study, psychology, psychotherapy, management, health services, and classic literature. I have helped academics, managers, professionals and non-native teachers to speak better English. My degree is from the University of Cambridge.

With one to one you decide what you want to learn, and you do it at your own pace. There is no need to feel pressure to keep up with others in a class, or be held back by them.

My internet connection is by fibre-optic cable.
