Introduction

EnglishNative
- relaxed, friendly learning environment - confidence building - learn English for lots of different purposes and situations - Professional and dedicated (but fun!) Kids love me (I have two little ones of my own which I've been home schooling) but I'm equally comfortable with teens and adults. I have a background in business so business English is also no problem at all. Let's discuss where you're at, and where you'd like to be, and I'll devise the perfect way of getting you there. I don't believe in a one size fits all approach and I'll design something fits your needs. My lessons cover a wide range of skills and topics designed to improve your skills and give you confidence. I believe learning should be fun and memorable. I love to have fun in my lessons and leave my students looking forward to my lessons. I promise my lessons won't be dull! - lots of time to speak English in the lessons - Lots of feedback (written and spoken) - homework, if you like. If you finish that....let me know and I'll give you more - Lots and lots of reading and writing material Please enquire about weekend lessons. I believe that lessons should be fun with students focused and engaged. I love to play a game or two in my lessons! As a teacher I'm warm, fun, full of praise, and approachable. I'm also dedicated and will do everything I can to help you achieve your goals. I've worked with kids for years so you're in the best of hands. I do like my lessons to have an easy to follow structure and I'm methodical. Did you know that I'm also a professional tour guide? If you're ever coming to Melbourne in Australia then I'd love to show you around! I have my own little tour business and I love to show people from all over the world places such as the Great Ocean Road, the Yarra Valley, the world famous Penguin Parade at Phillip Island, to name just a few. Here's my website: https://www.iheartmelbournetours.com.au/ ...and my Tripadvisor page... https://www.tripadvisor.com.au/Attraction_Review-g255100-d7140326-Reviews-I_Heart_Melbourne_Tours-Melbourne_Victoria.html Hope to see you on tour!

    Always have fun chat with James. He customs the teaching material in order to improve my reading skill and comprehension. People should join his class. It’s the only place you can have alcohol during the lesson :p
