IELTS SPEAKING PRACTICE AND ENGLISH CONVERSATION SKILLS WHICH ENGLISH SKILL DO YOU STRUGGLE WITH MOST? LET ME GUESS - SPEAKING. AM I RIGHT? But think about it - isn't that what you are trying to do - learn how to SPEAK English? What's the point of perfect grammar if you can't talk to people? NO POINT AT ALL! The modern way to learn a language is not by studying grammar. It's by listening and speaking, reading and writing; the grammar rules are learned on the way. Think how it would feel to get the grade you need on your IELTS exam. How would it change your life? A university place? A new job? The chance to travel? I love helping people to actually SPEAK English. I've done it here on italki for 8 years, simply with conversation. Now I also want to help people to pass their IELTS Speaking exam - it can be the most difficult part. But we all know, IELTS opens so many doors! I'm a native English speaker and I have a CELTA certificate in teaching English to adults, from a British language school. I offer mostly 30-minute lessons - because that's the perfect amount of time to have a great conversation! Or to practise an IELTS skill. An hour can be too long - for you as well as me! Why not book a 30-minute trial lesson with me? We can discuss what your goals and your needs are. See you then!

CELTA-certified teacher with five years of English teaching experience (IELTS / TOEFL preparation) Hello everyone! I’m Thomas, a native English speaker and undergraduate student of modern languages. I grew up in the East Midlands, near Nottingham, and speak with a minimal accent. I love learning new languages in my spare time and am fascinated by the culture and history of other countries. Language learning is my passion so I’m very enthusiastic to share its joys with you! I cannot overstate the significance language learning has had in my life – it truly is a gateway to another world.

In my lessons, I create a relaxed and supportive environment for you to express yourself fully without fear of judgement. I tend not to correct grammatical or lexical mistakes right away so as not to disrupt the flow of the conversation, but rather I will provide notes which can be referred back to after the lesson and may draw attention to areas that need a bit of work. As well as free-flowing conversation, I work with a variety of materials such as text, audio-visual and grammar drills to keep the lessons engaging. Most importantly, however, my lessons are tailored to your preferences and needs, which I will always take into consideration and incorporate into the exercises we do.

Unlock Fluent English: Personalised Lessons Tailored Just for Your Needs! I can be flexible in suiting the student, as sometimes I believe that casual conversation around a variety of topics can keep someone interested and excited by English, and other times a specific grammar rule of piece of text may be what the student needs/wants to master to progress.
