Exam Preparation
CELTA-Qualified Teachers
Over 12,000 Members on Meetup
Many students ask about our English classes in London as to how we teach. Our teaching is student-centred. This means that we firstly think about the student and what needs they may have
We created our individual English lessons and conversation groups for students who want to improve accuracy and fluency in English. Some people do these classes for study. Others are looking to improve for work. Or simply for personal benefit.
The lessons themselves mainly focus on conversation with help on grammar and vocabulary when you need it. This way students get a better shot at using the language. We understand they don’t always have this chance in standard courses. In other words, the idea is to practise improving fluency and grow confidence by using English.
We also offer one-to-one practice with our Online English lessons at a moment that suits you. Lessons are available during the day, evenings and weekends.
Focusing on: General English (listening, speaking and writing), Exam preparation (Cambridge and IELTS exams) or Business English (meetings, negotiations, presentations and networking).

Louise D'Arcy
Teacher
Hi! My name is Louise and I'm an English Language Teacher from London. I've been teaching English for around seven years and have taught extensively in the UK as well as abroad in countries such as Kazakhstan, Spain, Italy and Colombia. I love making lessons as interesting and fun as possible by using games and interactive activities and ensuring that students get lots and lots of speaking practice using both formal and informal language. I have experience of working with both children and adults and have taught all ages and abilities. I am friendly and approachable and am happy to tailor my lessons so that they suit the needs of each individual student. I enjoy nature, music and travelling in my spare time.
Jon and Louise are keen environmentalists and Monty makes a monthly donation to WWF and the Woodland Trust.
Jon also founded the community interest company Eco Around with a friend. The organisation supports Londoners in becoming ‘greener’ people through everyday habits.
