About Me

Do you need to boost your English for an exam? (IELTS, Cambridge, etc)? Do you struggle with pronunciation? Are you preparing for a job interview?
I'm Jocelyn, from London, a qualified teacher with 12 years of experience and I specialise in business English, exam preparation, and English accent reduction. I think learning a language should be interactive and engaging so I use a combination of skills and personalise my lessons according to my students needs. So tell me what your goal is and together we will create a plan to help you reach it!
In your classes you can focus on any and/or all of the following themes:
Grammar, Listening and Reading Comprehension, Pronunciation and Accent Reduction (British or American), Business English, Communication and Speaking Skills, TED talks or Breaking News for Communication and Discussion, Exam Preparation (IELTS, TOEFL, CAE, CPE) and many other topics!
I speak fluent Spanish having lived and worked in Latin America for 10 years, and can read and understand French too.
