Develop Confidence in English

Unlock your potential

About
Hi, I'm Colin and I've just returned to Cymru (Wales) after working as an English teacher in Hungary for 12 years.

I'd be happy to help you develop and increase your confidence when using English in many situations.

In our lessons, you'll learn to discuss topics that are of interest to you and I'll send you a vocabulary and grammar list after every session.

I can also help you with other tasks, such as preparing for job interviews, speaking tests and exams, updating your CV and professional profiles and checking your documents for grammatical, spelling and typing errors.

I'm always flexible: if you suddenly need to practise speaking about a different topic, then that's what we'll do; if you have a script or document to check quickly, we can focus on that; if you need to change the time or date of our lesson, no problem!

Further information:

- I have a CELTA teaching certificate for teaching English to adults as an additional language;
- I normally teach students who have reached B1 level in English and above;
- I'm self-employed and I'll make sure that an invoice is available for every session or group of sessions;
- my lessons are one-to-one and online;
- I currently use the following platforms for lessons: Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Skype and Apple FaceTime.






Lessons

Lessons focus on your spoken language needs and interests. Learn to understand and discuss current news stories and/or articles together and prepare for job interviews and exams: I'm flexible and happy to change the focus of a lesson very quickly!

Lesson times and fees

I'm available for lessons and proofreading sessions Monday to Friday from 0730 to 1630 (GMT). My fee is £20 for a 60-minute lesson and £20 for 60 minutes of proofreading. Usual lesson length: 60 minutes. Lesson fee includes vocabulary and grammar points list after every session. The length of the list will be different every time!

Proofreading

As one of my students, I can also check your documents for spelling, grammatical and typing errors. We'll do this together online - another chance to practise your English as well as making sure your work is word-perfect!

Colin and I have been working together since 2016 to improve my English skills. At the very beginning, we practised language exam preparation tasks, and later we focused on speaking. He has already prepared me for several job interviews, where I took on communication challenges with confidence. His pleasant, friendly lessons fly by quickly and I always look forward to the next opportunity. Colin always finds the right technique with which I am guaranteed to reach my set goals.

Exceptional teacher for improving communication skills. We have lessons on a weekly basis and we can talk about anything as Colin is in tune with what is happening in the world. Most importantly, this friendly-discussion format means I never feel stressed during our lessons.

Colin, many thanks for the lessons. I can really feel and experience the benefits in my job as using English nowadays is almost as comfortable as using my mother tongue. It is such a great advantage against my competitors! Furthermore, I really enjoy the conversations in our lessons on a wide range of topics. Many thanks for your flexibility and open mind, I love learning English with you very much.
