Do you wish learning English was more like real life? “Prepare to Speak” is a 6-week English speaking programme designed to help you develop vocabulary, understand real conversations and speak more naturally and fluently in everyday situations. You’ll prepare before group sessions with listening, reading and vocabulary tasks based on a topic (e.g. Food). There will be a new topic every two weeks and new tasks every week. I will also send you links to other resources like videos and webpages before each speaking session. In the speaking class, we’ll talk about the topic you prepared in our small group (4-10 learners max). I will listen, ask questions and give you useful, solid feedback. Suitable for A2 / B1 / B2 / C1 learners. My Prepare to Speak English speaking group programme includes: 6 x topical small group Speaking sessions (75 mins) – every Friday (7.5 hours total class time) Course content You will need to complete a few short writing activities (e.g. an email). This is not a grammar course, but I am happy to explain random grammar problems and questions by email / chat if you need help. There are 5 x 6-week blocks in every teaching year with holidays in between. My teaching is based on the UK school year. We cover 15 speaking topics in total each year (3 topics per 6-week block). There are no lessons in summer from mid-July to mid-September.

The main course focus is on topical vocabulary, functions and skills (reading, listening, speaking). This means English that you need for real situations and real conversations.
I help you learn to listen and understand English conversations. I will also show you how to speak English in a more natural way.
I believe that real-life topics, tasks and situations can help you learn English more quickly and more naturally. Grammar and rules are important, but they should not be the main focus.
I also believe that you need to read, listen and USE your English as often as you can. This means preparing at home and speaking or writing to others. It also means getting solid feedback from an experienced tutor - and that's where I can help you.
So, if you feel like your English is “OK”, but not improving, call me for a chat!
I will guide your learning and encourage you to start using your English with more confidence, range and accuracy.
