Please note that I aim to minimise COVID-19 risks, so the easiest venue is online but I am open to discussing in-person solutions.
I enjoy teaching English to speakers of other languages.
I will assess your needs for free – first by email, and then face-to-face (whether online or in person).
After that, I charge between £20 and £30 per hour for one-to-one lessons. Costs per person may be discounted for small groups.
I can teach students from all around the world online, for example via Zoom, at no extra cost. I am based in south Bristol and in-person lesson prices may include travel costs depending on distance.
I work with learners aged 18 and above.
I look forward to your email!
Ben
