Meet Leanne
Hey, I'm Leanne, and I'm a CELTA-certified English language instructor with nearly 12 years experience teaching English. I live and work in beautiful Vancouver, BC although I was born and raised in England until I was 16
Throughout my career as a teacher, I've taught 1000s of people how to learn and use English!.
I teach English in a way that is easy-to-understand, useful and practical! My focus is on communication for the real world.
I believe that you already know so much! You have a lot of English in your brain, and it is my job to help you get all of that English out of your head confidently and accurately.
I have also been learning a 2nd language since I was 19, & I've used the same strategies & methods that I will teach you in this course!
It's not just studying, it's using, experiencing and living a language!
Office Hours
Every Sunday, at 4pm (Vancouver time), I am in my Zoom office for questions about the course and open conversation time.
What do some of my students say?

A year ago I started taking private classes with Leanne which has been very satisfying personally and professionally.
I have been studying and practicing English for 16 years but in this last year I have noticed a considerable advance in my reading, writing and conversation skills. Taking private classes has helped me to improve my confidence when speaking, practicing my listening and even being able to have a long conversation without using translator.
Leanne has become more than a teacher in my life, today she has become a good friend.
It will always be a pleasure to recommend her. if you are looking for a native teacher you are in the right place.

What makes Leanne's classes unique is her ability to tailor her classes to each student's needs. I've been having classes for over 2 months and I'm yet to have a boring one, time goes by in the blink of an eye!

O que faz as aulas da Leanne serem especiais é a habilidade que ela tem em personalizar cada aula para cada aluno. Eu venho tendo aulas com ela há 2 meses e nunca tive uma aula desinteressante, o tempo passa super rápido!

She is the best of English teacher in the world.
When I had Leanne’s class, My English skills have improved day by day. Then I got a nice score at level test but I decided to stay leanne’s class because her class is full of things to learn. The very good things about class is learning various topic in english. She knows nutrition and health well, so I can learned various knowledge in English.
Also, She focus on student what they need it every time so I can see how she prepare for the perfect lesson all the time. For me, I was fear in grammar but she said I should feel it rather than memorize it. After that I was able to gain a confidence.
If somebody wants to know what English is, I definitely recommend her!!

My disclaimer
I have created a course that is based on 12 years of english-teaching experience, as well as many years of learning a second language myself. I believe that the 7 key skills are the most effective way to learn English.
I have seen excellent results with this method, although success is not guaranteed. Success depends on many things, some of which we can not control.
If you complete all 7 weeks, ask questions in the office hours and apply the strategies and lessons in your own life, I feel very confident that you will see great improvements in your English communication skills.
