Practical English lessons for all levels with a native speaker and experienced communicator

Hi, I'm Alex! I'm a native British English speaker with over 18 years of experience in writing, editing, communications and international business. I also spent more than 15 years living and working in China, so I understand the challenges of learning another language and communicating across cultures. I speak advanced Mandarin, which can be particularly helpful for Chinese students. My lessons are friendly, relaxed and practical, with an emphasis on building your confidence and helping you use English naturally. Whether you want to improve your everyday conversation, pronunciation, business English, writing or interview skills, I'll tailor our lessons to your interests and goals. As a professional writer and editor, I can also help you develop more accurate, fluent and natural written English. I enjoy discussing everything from travel and culture to current affairs and business, so there will always be plenty to talk about! My aim is to make learning English enjoyable, useful and relevant to your everyday life.
