Extra information
My classes are designed to fully adapt to your goals, level, and learning pace. Before we begin, I conduct a brief assessment to understand your needs and create a personalized plan.

The sessions are practical and focused on real-world communication. We'll work with concrete situations that you can apply in your daily life, whether in your professional, academic, or personal life.

I offer:
• 100% personalized individual classes
Material tailored to your goals
• Flexible hours
• Continuous monitoring of your progress

Classes can be held online or in person (depending on availability).

If you have a specific goal (job, interviews, travel, exams, etc.), I can design a focused plan to help you achieve it effectively.

No minimum level is required: I work from beginner to advanced levels.

If you have any questions before we begin, feel free to write to me. I'd be happy to help.

Isobel
Hello! I'm Isobel, a TEFL certified English teacher from London. I have extensive experience in private tutoring in English literature, history, and English as a second language.

My methods are based on the communicative approach, which aims to foster confidence and English fluency in students. Above all, I want English to be something that my students like to learn. To this end, I design my classes to be fun, including authentic materials in line with my students' interests, whether it be art, politics, sports or cooking.

In my experience, each student comes with specific needs and that is why I strive to create a tailored program. We will work on the four language skills, speaking, listening, reading and writing, as well as grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation, through activities that are relevant to your needs and goals.

Do you need to use English to write emails at work? Then we will practice writing and rewriting emails. Do you want to speak more in English during meetings? Next, we will focus on "dramatizing" these scenarios. Are you about to take an academic course in which you will have to write essays in English? No problem! We will focus on reading and writing in an academic context. Or perhaps your in-laws are native English speakers? Excellent! Then we'll work on the general conversation.

To this end, I currently offer four types of English classes depending on the needs of my students: general English, business English, exam preparation and academic English.

My own experience learning Spanish and Romanian has taught me the difficulty, but also the incredibly rewarding nature of language learning. Let me help you make it easier! Book a lesson with me and let's start improving your fluency and, above all, your confidence in English!
