Would you like more practice speaking English in everyday life or at work? I'm a TEFL-qualified tutor with teaching experience and a warm, friendly approach. I speak English, French and Spanish, so I appreciate the practice and patience involved in learning a language.

My lessons focus on using English, not just learning rules. We can practise conversation, pronunciation, useful vocabulary and grammar through topics that interest you, from travel and daily life to work and current events. There is room for questions, mistakes and a sense of humour.

I also bring over eight years of experience in real estate investment and asset management. If English for work is your priority, we can practise professional conversations, explaining ideas clearly and preparing for interviews.

We'll agree on your goals and build lessons around what you want to practise, with clear explanations and useful feedback along the way.
Extra information
Please tell me what you would like to use English for, how comfortable you currently feel speaking it, and anything you particularly want to practise. You can also share topics you enjoy or examples of situations you find difficult, so we can make the lessons relevant to you.

We'll work on real conversations for everyday life, travel, work and social situations, building vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar along the way. Sessions will be adapted to your goals and interests, with plenty of opportunities to speak, ask questions and practise at your own pace.

Looking to start or progress your career in real estate? I offer practical, friendly support with CVs, applications and interview preparation, drawing on over eight years of experience in real estate investment and portfolio management.

We can work on presenting your experience clearly, tailoring your CV to a role and explaining why you are a good fit. For interviews, we can practise your introduction, work through common competency questions and discuss real estate questions relevant to the job. Mock interviews give you a chance to try your answers aloud and receive clear, constructive feedback.

I also provide mock-interview mentoring, so I understand the value of a supportive space to practise, ask questions and work out what you want to say. My approach is warm, straightforward and focused on your next step, whether you are exploring the industry, applying for your first role or preparing for a move.

Each session will focus on what would be most useful to you. Bring a job description, a CV or simply a question about your next step, and we can agree where to start. You do not need to have everything worked out before we meet.

I will give you specific feedback on your wording, structure and delivery, with practical points to work on between sessions. You are welcome to bring your own presentation, interview questions or discussion topics.
