Welcome! Congratulations! You have decided to study English! This decision alone can greatly improve your life in many ways. Learning English can help you travel the world, find a better job, enter a university in another country, develop friendships with people all over the world, and build self-confidence.

The best time to learn English is as a child, but the second best time is now. Right now, you can begin your journey to a more enriched life. I hope I can accompany you on this journey as a tour guide. In 14 years, I have literally guided thousands of people through this same journey. I know the land like the back of my hand because I was born here. English is my mother tongue. Unlike teachers who have studied English or "have American friends," I have countless life experiences to draw on when considering the best words to use in a situation. Native English speakers see nuances, moods, intentions, mistakes, and beauty in English that other English teachers cannot. We can show you where translation is a bad idea, where “French” style communication is a horrible idea, and where a seemingly strange approach will make it easier for you to understand.

There is not a single route to your destination, but several routes. In addition, there are many destinations. Your goal might just be to generally improve your communication skills so that you can make friends or enjoy your travels. For this destination, the best route is to give yourself plenty of conversation time and develop your fluency in speaking. We could spend a lot of time chatting Youtube videos, discussing press and blog articles, taking personality quizzes and of course correcting grammar points that are blocking your communication. When you arrive at your destination, you will speak English without hesitation and without any roadblocks.

Maybe your last trip in English brought you to a place where you can communicate well, but you feel frustrated with your level because your grammar map is unclear, confusing, missing and sometimes leads you to the wrong destination. . You often don't know if you are on the right grammatical track. You don't know if you understand exactly what people are saying. You want to feel more confident and know that you are speaking correctly. The path here is harder, steeper, longer. A focus on grammar can help. For grammar, I use a natural learning method that gradually develops your skills. First, I introduce the situation and then relate it to the concept. Once you have a working understanding of the idea of the grammar point, we do exercises for you to practice the syntax and differentiate yourself from other grammar tenses. Then you will have the opportunity to use grammar in a controlled environment. At this point, I'll always guide you to make sure you're on the right track. Finally, at the end of the lesson, you will have a situation where you can speak freely and use the grammar point without my advice. When you reach this destination, you will feel that you have more control and confidence.

Maybe your job is your goal and you would like to get a better job with a more international activity. For this course, we change the context, the situation, the vocabulary and the objectives. Instead of hobbies, sports and food, we will talk about sales, production and finance. You will be put in various business situations such as meetings, presentations and negotiations. We can discuss business trends and hot topics or you can even bring in some of your own work. If you need help with an email or a presentation, we can work on it in class. When you arrive at your destination, you will feel confident in many business situations. You will be able to express your ideas and convince others.

Many English travelers like to see a few different attractions. You might want to have a visit that's specific to you. Some conversation, grammar and vocabulary, and some business English. You can choose any combination you want or even request something more specific.

I have a personal library of over a hundred textbooks to help you.

Do you want to use English with more confidence at work or in everyday situations, but traditional courses haven't helped you express yourself as you need? I'm Ian, a native English speaker with a PhD in English and experience teaching at the university level and as a second language. I'm also a language learner and have lived abroad, so I know firsthand some of the challenges of learning and using another language.

The classes are designed for adults, especially professionals and intermediate to advanced students (B1–C2). We'll start by discussing your goals, level, interests, and availability, and then design a practical and realistic plan. Depending on your needs, we'll work on conversation, listening comprehension, pronunciation, vocabulary, applied grammar, and writing. We can practice meetings, presentations, interviews, and other specific situations, using films, TV series, music, or topics that interest you as learning materials. You'll receive clear feedback and a manageable pace for continued practice between classes. The priority is to use English regularly and express yourself confidently: grammar is at the service of communication.
