Is your learner learning English (ESL/EFL/EAL) but lacks the confidence to actually apply their learning in a real setting? or perhaps they are a native speaker who finds talking to people a challenge or needs to practice for some upcoming important interviews or discussions?

In this class, Mrs. T will encourage relaxed conversations around a different theme each week. These will be topics that learners could realistically chat about in real life. So they are building real material for possible interactions in the future. Mrs. T will gently correct mispronunciations, and problems with grammar, tenses, and sense. As an experienced speech and drama tutor she can also suggest ways to improve communication and presentation with suggestions of tone, changes in pitch, and pace. 

Each class will start with a fun tongue twister to suit the week's theme and also warm up our voices. Then the class will follow a loose theme, but Mrs. T will also respond to the learner's passions and interests and steer the conversation when needed with questions and prompts.

Week 10- Learner's choice, something they want/need to work on more, something that has come out of a previous class that we agree together to explore further, or a mock interview.

Please note this is not an English language learning class. This class is for native or ESL/EFL/EAL speakers who already have a good grasp of English but need practice/ or get nervous to actually speak it, developing their speaking in real-life terms or for potential interviews with a native, clearly spoken, very patient, friendly speaker.

THIS CLASS CAN BE TAKEN MULTIPLE TIMES AS WE CAN CHOOSE NEW SETS OF TOPICS EACH TIME.
