English conversation practice with a British teacher
You have studied English for years. You know the grammar. But you do not get enough chances to really speak. These private one-to-one lessons give you regular, structured conversation practice with a native British teacher.
This is not random chat. We pick topics you care about, I give you new words and phrases to use, and I correct the mistakes you repeat. Over time, you think less and speak more. That is what fluency feels like.

Questions
Questions from conversation practice learners
What level do I need for conversation practice?
B1 (intermediate) or above works best. You should be able to have a simple conversation already. If you are not sure, I will check your level in the free diagnostic.
How is this different from a language exchange?
In a language exchange, nobody plans the lesson and nobody corrects you properly. In my lessons, every topic is planned, I give you new language, and I correct the mistakes that matter most for you.
How often should I have lessons?
Most students have one or two lessons a week. Regular practice is more important than long lessons. We can agree a rhythm that fits your week.
