I live in Brisbane and am on Australian Eastern Standard Time. I currently tutor online on weekdays only, during my mornings (which suit students living in the United States and Canada), late afternoons and evenings (which suit students living in or close to my time zone, including the Republic of Korea and Japan). 

Please reach out to me for session availability or if you have any questions at all regarding these sessions. 

All sessions are conducted through Zoom Meetings. 

This is a 1:1 weekly, ongoing class offering personalized, individual tuition for intermediate to advanced ESL students as we develop our conversational skills in English, focusing on a variety of topics to encourage progression in listening and speaking skills, including fluency, grammar, and vocabulary.  

In my experience, regular opportunity for "free chat" or conversation is tremendously beneficial for ESL students. Frequent areas for improvement include sentence structure, subject-verb agreement, consistency in tenses, use of definite and indefinite articles, word order, and vocabulary expansion. Once students begin to talk about a topic of interest to them, they often forget they are learning! It’s fantastic to see them grow in confidence and ability as they develop their speaking skills, which of course translates to immense benefit in the formal academic setting. 

All sessions will be personalized to support the attainment of students' individual academic goals. I aim to foster a relaxed, positive, patient, and supportive environment in my classes, where each student feels safe, valued, and recognized. 

I am a qualified teacher with a degree in English Literature and Poetry. I have over sixteen years in teaching experience, and have been a private online tutor for the past five years. I also have a TEFL qualification which I obtained many years ago (in 1997!), and have worked with ESL students (children and adults) both in the classroom and in a private capacity for many years.
