About Your Teacher

We want you to be absolutely delighted with your English teacher in London, which means we choose teachers very carefully. 

Your teacher is part of the top 2% of English teachers in London for not only being qualified and experienced, but also being able to ignite a spark for learning. At your free trial English class you’ll see how your teacher does this, using engaging methods and activities. 

Plenty of English teachers in London are alright. So many people teach English to adults abroad and then come back to the UK, which means the market for English teachers in London is competitive. For that reason, we can be choosy.

What makes a good English teacher?

It’s not enough for us that your teacher has the right paper qualifications, they also have to excite us during their interview. This means they have to show their passion for teaching English, and demostrate that their classes will be relevant to student requirements. If teachers can get us excited for their classes, we know they can motivate your employees too. That’s how an English teacher should be. 

Feedback says everything, so have a look at our testimonials to see what our students and their HR managers have to say. 

Philosophy of your English teacher in London

• Your teacher’s key philosophy is to tailor English classes to your professional or personal needs. Totally different from working from a set syllabus that may or may not be relevant. 
• The majority of people tell us they want an English teacher for speaking. Accordingly, our English teachers in London use communicative language teaching. This is the modern approach which language learning experts agree is the most effective. In a nutshell, communicative teaching gets students speaking and listening as much as possible, and simulates useful situations. Communicative English language learning is practical, interesting and challenging. It’s vastly more engaging than the dry way in which many of us learned languages at school.
