To maintain a conversation in English you have understand what is said, process the information and give the reply in 4 seconds . You won't find the answer looking up at the ceiling – which is what you are probably doing..

You needed timed, forced, question and answers to make you think quickly and respond quickly.

My lessons are fast paced and focused on learning to respond quickly and accurately to simple questions. I do teach for the Cambridge examinations, but that is a different teaching system from teaching conversational English, which is my specialty.

I am a retired English native speaker who has been teaching online and in the classroom for 3 years. I am qualified as a TEFL level 5 teacher in the Scottish system of education. Previous to r etirement I was computer engineer. I have university degrees in biology, geology and computer science and a strong business and technical background. I once built 32,000 computers in a day

My English vocabulary and mastery of language is in the top 5% of native English speakers . I have written a regular column for the UK national dance magazine, published short stories, written advertising copy and published scientific papers.

I speak Polish to B1,

Although I am very comfortable teaching English at the advanced C1 and C2 level (I currently have students studying for FAE and CAE ) my specialty is the rapid development of conversational fluency using conversation prompts based on pictures.

There is an online course of 50 lessons to go along with the fluency training The lessons will be intensive, dynamic and exciting – quite unlike a normal English lesson

I also guess I'm the only teacher here who has stood on the firing deck of a nuclear missile submarine and gone swimming with penguins. So I have more to offer than just English.

I look forward to you contacting me.
