How my English lessons work
Every student is different, so every plan is different. But the way we start is always the same: three simple steps, and the first one is free.
A free 30-minute diagnostic
We meet on a video call. It is relaxed — not a test. I ask about:
- Your job, and the situations where you use English
- What feels hard right now (meetings? calls? small talk?)
- Your goals: a promotion, a move abroad, an interview, or just more confidence
While we talk, I listen carefully. I note your level, the mistakes you repeat, and the words you are missing. At the end, I tell you honestly what I think you need — and whether my lessons are right for you.
What it costs: nothing
No payment details. No pressure to buy. If you don't continue, that's completely fine.
Your personal lesson plan
After the diagnostic, I build your plan. Each lesson in the plan is a real situation from your life or work: presenting to your team, calling a client, talking to a patient, a job interview, or simply talking about your weekend with more natural English.
I make the lesson materials for each student with PlanwiseESL, lesson software I built myself. This means your lessons are not taken from a general textbook. They use your industry, your vocabulary and your situations.
Regular one-to-one conversation lessons
Each 60-minute lesson usually follows this shape:
- Warm-up chat. We talk about your week. This is real practice, and I note your mistakes.
- New language. Key phrases and words for today's situation, with clear explanations.
- Role-play. We practise the real situation. Then we do it again, better.
- Feedback. Corrections, better ways to say things, and pronunciation tips.
- Review. You keep the lesson and the phrases, so you can review them before your real meeting.
You will speak for most of the lesson. That is how fluency grows: not by listening to a teacher, but by speaking, getting feedback, and speaking again.
One package, one clear price
$850 for 25 one-hour private lessons — about $34 per lesson. That includes your personal plan and all lesson materials.
Why a package? Because real progress takes regular practice. 25 lessons give us time to work through your plan properly, and you can see clear improvement in the way you speak.
The diagnostic is always free, so you can meet me and see the plan before you decide.

Questions about lessons
How long is each lesson?
Each lesson is 60 minutes. The free diagnostic is 30 minutes.
How often should I have lessons?
Most students have one or two lessons a week, so 25 lessons usually take three to six months. Regular practice matters more than speed. We agree a rhythm that fits your life.
What do I need for an online lesson?
A laptop, tablet or phone with a camera and microphone, a stable internet connection and a quiet place. After you book, you get the video link by email.
When are you available?
I teach six days a week. When you book on Calendly, you see my free times in your own time zone.
Can I try a lesson before I pay?
Yes. The diagnostic session is free and you do not need to give any payment details. You can also try my free sample lessons any time.
Can I change the plan later?
Yes. Your plan is a guide, not a contract. If you get a new job, a big presentation or an interview, we change the plan to match.
