Private lessons with Halina

I understand what YOU need to succeed in English. I know the essential skills you need to develop to become an effective communicator in English.

What does real English mean to you?

  • You don’t study grammar rules. Instead, you listen to our grammar stories and learn to USE grammar correctly.
  • You don’t study word lists. …
  • You don’t use textbooks. …
  • You don’t learn formal English.

Instead of studying textbooks, you must review real conversations between speakers. Real conversations will teach you to understand English speakers instantly and to speak without a struggle. All of the materials use 100% real conversations.
