Viv has been the best English teacher I ever had. She perfectly adapted to my level and had a perfect way to balance conversation and grammar. She was challenging, efficient and supportive. « An iron fist in a velvet glove » to bring you to the next level.

Viv one of the best teachers I’ve ever met in teaching field, I had over 60hrs studying English with her and since that I have improved significantly. I liked her technique in identifying the gaps in my communications & grammar. I strongly recommend her if you’re looking for a very well experienced teacher.

Vivian is an excellent teacher!! Every time I enjoy her class and we laugh each other. I can learn both polite English for business and also casual English with her British jokes! It's good to have her classes before job interviews. She can correct even your small mistakes. I found that it's also nice not to use a camera so that I don't have to put make-up all the time.
Vivian is a great teacher, she focus on the weaknesses of the student and with patience and passion continues to help the student to improve. The exercises she selects are always appropriate to the student level and aimed to improve that particular aspects of English which required to be improved. It is a pleasure having Viv as teacher and I would absolutely recommend her.

Viv is an expert in teaching English. All thanks to her I sailed through the TOEFL test (keep in mind that when I started I was only able to say a few words). Highly recommend Viv to everyone.

Personal Profile
I live in the UK and I’ve been teaching English for over 20 years. I have a BA (Hons) Degree in Fine Art & Media and completed my TEFL Teacher Training Course in 1998. Since then, I’ve helped people pass Cambridge exams, IELTS exams and TOEFL exams.
For the last few years I’ve been working with an International Agency, Global LT, focusing on corporate clients who need to improve their Business English, many of whom have relocated.
I enjoy conversing with other professionals, discussing current affairs, work and interests.
In our conversation time, at the beginning of each class, I pick up on any mistakes being made. We then work on them; whether they're prepositions, tenses, phrasal verbs or articles.The classes are purely tailored to the individual, as each client has different needs. I've accumulated a huge variety of exercises over the years for us to work on and I explain grammar clearly and concisely.
​
I also offer one-off consultancy sessions, if you need help with the wording of a presentation, an official letter or preparation for an interview, etc.
​
I look forward to our English language journey!
