Study English In Sydney, Australia!

If you are looking for a great way to improve your English communication skills or prepare for the IELTS test, then why not study with me in Sydney, Australia.

Far from being a big school with big classes, I run small group lessons (with a maximum of 6 students per class) focusing on helping students get the best results possible in the most fun and dynamic environment.
​
Knowing that dynamic learning environments, interaction, and opportunities to speak are key components to successfully learning a language, I take my students out of the classroom and enjoy studying in various locations around Sydney.
Learning By Doing!
Who wants to sit in a classroom and describe pictures on computer screen when we could be describing pictures thing in an art gallery? Who wants to learn about food vocabulary with flashcards when we can do it better by going to a fresh food market and sampling what they have to offer? And who wants to learn culture from a book when we can be out there experiencing the culture that surrounds us?

In short, I believe in making sure my students get to experience language, not just learn language.
I hope you join me and take your English to the next level.
 

Why Study With Me?

As you can see from my website, I am passionate about teaching (that is why I run this free website to help English teachers better understand how people learn a language), and I want to use my passion to help you reach your full English potential. But, in case you want a few more reasons as to why you should study with me, then check out the following list:
  • Tertiary qualified teacher  (currently completing my PhD focusing on second language learning)
  • Over 10 years’ experience as an EFL teacher (in Japan, Korea, England, and Australia)
  • Research-based teaching methods
  • Small classes: maximum of 6 students per class
  • All materials: access to online learning materials for 1 year
  • More personal attention: less students in a class means you get more personal attention
  • Dynamic learning environment : we often get out of the classroom to explore Melbourne. 
  • Weekly cultural and/or social events
  • Best value for money: I promise you will not find a school that offers better service at a better price (if you do, I will give you a refund for any of your remaining classes – no questions asked)
  • Insider knowledge:  I will help you to get to know Sydney like the locals do
