Why I started Excellence in English
I've seen too many capable people held back, not by their knowledge of English but by their confidence in speaking it. Large classes don't give them enough speaking time, and apps can't tell them what to fix. Excellence in English combines what works: small groups, lots of speaking and specific personal feedback.
How I teach
You speak more than I do.
At least half of every Spoken English class is your speaking time.
Feedback that's specific.
Not "good job", but the one change that will make the biggest difference.
Progress you can hear.
You record yourself at the start and the end, and hear the difference.
A supportive group.
Mistakes are part of learning. Our classes are a safe place to make them.
