English from scratch
For those with no base or who haven't practised in years. The starting point is always a diagnosis, not a generic lesson.

Tailored plans
Online English lessons for every starting point
An adult starting from scratch needs something very different from a professional looking to improve in international meetings, or a teenager who needs support with school English. This page explains what kind of lessons I teach and who each one is designed for.

Methodology
How the process works
This is how the work is structured from the first conversation to the lessons themselves.
1
Initial diagnosis
Before designing anything, we talk. I want to understand the real starting point: what's been tried before, how you process English and what needs to be used first. This informs all decisions about approach and materials.
2
Tailored materials
There is no standard textbook. Materials are created for each student: texts from their sector, vocabulary from their real situations, grammar explanations when and how they're needed — not according to whatever chapter comes next.
3
Ongoing adjustment
The approach isn't fixed from the start. As work progresses, it adapts: if something isn't working, we change it. If goals evolve, the materials do too.
Logistics
Flexible schedule, no commuting
Being online, lessons are organised around your real availability: mornings, midday or afternoons. If you need to move a session, it's rescheduled to another day or time without losing it. The model is a fixed number of lessons per month that you distribute as suits you best — no fixed time slot commitments.

Beginners
English from scratch
Starting a language as an adult has its own characteristics. Unlike children, who absorb language through massive exposure, adults need to understand the structure for English to click — and that process doesn't fit into a beginners' group textbook.
The starting point is always a diagnosis: what you know, how you process English and what you need to use first. From there, materials are designed specifically for you.
It's common for those who arrive without a base to have tried learning before without results. In most cases, the method simply wasn't designed for how they learn in particular.

Conversational immersion
"I understand quite a lot, but when I have to speak I freeze."
This is one of the most common situations. It's not a level problem — it's that studying a language and activating it in conversation are two different processes, and most methods only work on the first.
Language activation
We identify what's blocking spoken expression (pronunciation, passive vocabulary, insecurity) and work on it through real conversation sessions.
Based on your life
Sessions start from your work, your hobbies and your regular contexts. You'll master English where you actually need it.
"I understand everything you say, but I can't find the words to reply..."
"That's exactly what we'll solve. We'll activate your passive vocabulary through real contexts."
"Can we practice for my presentation next week?"
"Of course! We'll use your actual slides to make it natural and fluid."
Real 1-to-1 conversations
Growth
English for adults & professionals
For those who want to improve their English with a real goal: communicating better while travelling, improving at work, or getting back up to speed after years without using it.
Business
Travel
Goals
If the context is professional — meetings, emails, presentations — the work focuses on the vocabulary of your sector and your real situations. Not a generic course.

School
School support
For children and teenagers who need extra help with English outside school. The goal isn't just to review the current syllabus — it's to understand why English is difficult for them and work on that.
In many cases the problem is gaps that were never closed. Identifying them and working on them is far more efficient than simply going through the whole textbook again.
Sessions are individual and adapt to the student's level at each point. If there are upcoming exams, that's the focus. If the goal is to consolidate the base, we work long-term.
Qualifications
Exam preparation
Knowing English doesn't guarantee a good score. Each exam has its own format, question types and marking criteria — and whoever arrives without knowing these, even with a good level, gets surprises on exam day. How we prepare for exams:
- Language work: raising the level if needed before tackling exam content.
- Strategic preparation: learning the format, task types and what's scored in each part. Practising with real materials, not generic exercises.
- Prior guidance: deciding which level to sit and when to sit it is also part of the process.
Quick answers
Frequently asked questions
What age can students start?
I work with students of any age. For younger children the approach changes: more visual, more dynamic, with activities adapted to their stage. For adults who think "it's too late to learn": the ability to learn languages doesn't disappear with age, although how the process should be approached does change.
How many lessons does it take to see results?
It depends on the goal and the starting point. What I can say is that frequency and consistency have more impact than accumulating many hours in a short time. After the first session there's usually a much clearer picture.
Do you really not use a textbook?
Correct. Textbooks impose a pace and vocabulary that don't correspond to each student's real life. Materials are created for each person: texts from their sector, situations from their daily life, exercises designed for that particular student's weak points.
Can I change the type of lesson if my needs change?
Yes. If you start with school support and later want to prepare for a Cambridge exam, or if you start from scratch and over time want to focus on business, the work can be redirected. There are no minimum-term contracts.
Where are lessons held?
Everything is online. Sessions take place via video call, using whatever platform is most comfortable for the student. This means we can work with people from anywhere, without time-zone restrictions.
