Who I Am
I’m Fleur (female), a qualified EFL teacher with over 15 years of experience teaching English as a foreign language in a range of settings—public schools, language schools and private tutoring, both in London and abroad. I have extensive experience working with Korean, Chinese, French, Spanish and Italian students, though I’m of course happy to work with learners from any background.
I’m a native speaker, born in the UK, and I speak standard, unaccented English—also known as Received Pronunciation (RP).
Travel is a big passion of mine, and I love meeting people from all over the world, learning about their cultures and sharing my own. Over the years, I’ve learned a great deal from my students—and I hope they’ve learned just as much from me! I get real satisfaction from helping students not only achieve their language goals, but also broader aims—whether that’s getting into university, landing a new job, making new friends or simply becoming more confident.
I’m told I’m supportive, approachable and a reliable resource for my students. I regularly signpost them to helpful services and do my best to ensure they get the most out of their time in London.
I’m good at putting people at ease—whatever their background or age—and I always aim to make lessons fun, interesting and effective. After all, no one wants a dull or overly serious class at the end of a long day! Feel free to check out my testimonials to see what some of my students have said.
Contacting Me
You may already have a clear idea of what you’re looking for—but even if you don’t, feel free to browse the services I offer. These include:
- Conversation lessons
- Personalised courses for short stays in London
- General English
- Business English
- Exam preparation
- Tailored support for students, academics and jobseekers
- Proofreading, editing and writing
- Ad-hoc support for social and administrative matters
If what you’re looking for isn’t listed, don’t worry—just get in touch and I’ll do my best to help.
When you contact me via the form, I’ll need your name and email address to reply. You’re welcome to leave a phone number too, but that’s optional at this stage. Please include as much relevant information as possible about what you’re hoping to get out of the lessons.
It’s helpful if you can tell me:
- Where you’re from
- How long you’ve been in London (if you are here)
- What you’re currently doing (work, studies, etc.)
- A bit about your English: how long you’ve been learning, what you feel confident with and areas you’d like to improve
- Any goals or aspirations you have
- Your availability
If you don’t know your current level, that’s absolutely fine—we’ll work that out together.
Most people enjoy the personal attention private lessons offer and the faster progress they tend to bring. That said, if there are two or more of you at roughly the same level, joint lessons are also possible.
If you’re based outside London and interested in online lessons, let me know where you are and check the time difference. For proofreading/editing/writing, everything can usually be done via email.
What Happens Next
Once you contact me, we’ll likely exchange a few messages to clarify details. We might speak on the phone, have a video call or even meet briefly in person. Or, if you prefer, you can go ahead and book a first lesson right away.
I’ll make a quick needs assessment and determine your level so we can agree on how best to move forward. This plan will naturally evolve as I get to know your interests and motivations better.
I’m currently offering lessons online or in person at my preferred location near King’s Cross, but there may be other possibilities.
My typical fees are:
- £35 for a 90-minute lesson
- I provide quotes for other work
I’ll always confirm the price and provide payment details before any service begins. And of course, there’s no obligation to continue at any time.
Please make sure to read my Terms of Service and confirm you’re happy with the conditions. If you have any questions, just let me know.
I’m confident you’ll find the lessons enjoyable, useful and rewarding. I look forward to hearing from you and helping you get started.
