General English

Through interactive and practical lessons, participants will build a solid foundation in English for everyday situations. Lessons are structured to help you understand and use new grammar, vocabulary and phrases in real-life tasks, and a focus is given to developing speaking skills and confidence. 

 

 

Business English

Lessons are structured to encourage participants to speak articulately and fluently and the use of grammar is reviewed and studied in more depth.

Small groups

Collaboration and discussions are great when learning a new language. In a small group setting an informal atmosphere can be formed, which makes starting conversations easier and feedback more targeted.

About

As a language coach with more than 10 years of experience, I have developed authentic language lessons for a wide variety of different companies and industries.

I am originally from Scotland but have been living and working in Hanover for the last 12 years. This enables me to also offer German students an insight into the cultural norms in the UK from a native speaker’s perspective.

My passion is not just sharing English with my students, but also the story of language as a whole. I work together with my students to uncover and address their individual needs, strengths, and areas of desire, all based around the main goal of language: the ability to effectively express oneself and communicate with others. I view my role as a partner and mentor; there to present, clarify, and challenge the student in their language learning process.
