Teacher: Tiasha Naidu (Johannesburg / Online)
B2–C1 adults discuss ideas in English, from science and technology to culture. Practise supporting an opinion, questioning evidence and changing your mind gracefully in a lively discussion.
A short reading or image starts the discussion. I give you time to build an argument, take the opposite position and reflect on the expressions that helped you make your point precisely.

B1–B2 adults learn to write emails that readers can act on. Practise subject lines, polite requests, reminders and complaints. Leave each lesson with a revised message and a reusable example.
Compare two messages and predict the reader’s response. Draft your own version, then edit it for purpose, tone and clarity. Use fictional examples or remove private details from your own drafts.

A2–B1 adults practise English for the moments when travel plans change. Check in, explain a missing bag, sort out a booking and ask for local advice through realistic travel role-plays.
Follow a fictional itinerary. Each lesson adds a practical problem, such as a cancelled train. Use tickets, maps and booking details to explain what happened and agree on a solution.

B1–C1 adults prepare for interviews in English using a vacancy from their own field. Build a clear introduction, explain an achievement and practise answering an unexpected follow-up in a mock interview.
Bring a job advert. We turn one real experience into a concise answer, then repeat it with a different question so you can speak naturally without memorising a script.

A1–A2 adults practise the English they need at home and around town. Order a meal, make an appointment or ask a neighbour for help. Picture prompts and short model dialogues help you speak from the first lesson.
We build a short dialogue from a picture, practise together and swap roles. On the second round one detail changes, so you choose your own words.

For adults at B1–B2 level who want to speak up at work. Across ten online lessons, practise joining a discussion, clarifying a deadline and handling a difficult client call. Bring a situation from your working week. We’ll rehearse what to say and how to follow up in writing.
A client asks, “Can you finish by Friday?” You answer, then I ask a follow-up you haven’t seen. We look at how your words sound to the client, try the call again and write a two-line email confirming what you agreed. I hold a Bachelor of Education from the University of Pretoria and have taught English in South African classrooms and online to adults internationally.

Bryna was awesome and very helpful. We had a great session :-)IB, Vancouver
Leeann classes are fun and engaging. She carefully balances the course content according to the needs of the student. Each class could be a mix of interactive games, open discussions and serious reading. I had six classes with her and you can never guess what exciting and fun stuff will come next. I highly recommend her for qualitative one-on-one tutoring. AM, Montreal

Why learn English? Just after Mandarin and Spanish, English is the third most common native language in the world and it is definitely the most learned second language. English is today's world's lingua franca. Many occupations and professions require at least working knowledge of the language, as it has become the most widely used language in international publications, international trade, telecommunications, entertainment and diplomacy.
How hard is it to learn English compared to other languages? It depends, of course, on the languages you speak already. The most difficult aspects of learning English are the vast vocabulary, the differences between spelling and pronunciation, the subtleties of grammar and the different ways it is used around the world.
