Improve your speaking, vocabulary and pronunciation with practical English lessons designed for people who want to communicate naturally.
Hi, I’m Clare and I’m delighted that you’re here!
I’ve been teaching English for almost 40 years, helping thousands of learners around the world speak more confidently.
I know what it takes to learn a language – I’ve learnt French and Italian too – and I’ve created practical methods to help you improve faster.
Improve the English you already know
You probably know much more English than you realise. But knowing English and feeling confident using it are two different things.
I’ll help you find the words, phrases and structures you need to express yourself naturally and confidently.

Why learn with me?
I started teaching English in 1988 and have worked with learners from all over the world. I understand the challenges because I’ve also learnt other languages.
My approach is practical:
➡️ Less memorising lists and rules.
➡️ More real English you can use.
“Clare helped me to prepare for a job interview in English, which I have successfully passed and moved forward in the hiring process! Very professional approach and one of the best English teachers I have ever had.”

Can you become fluent in English?
Yes – especially if:
✓ you already speak another language
✓ you have a genuine reason to improve
✓ you can practise consistently, even for 10 minutes a day
The biggest difference comes from using the right methods regularly.
