English lessons & discussion groups

English lessons built around conversation, reading, and ideas

For intermediate and advanced learners who want to speak more naturally, express complex ideas clearly, and work with material that is genuinely interesting.

Individual lessons

One-to-one lessons shaped around your level, interests, and goals. An article, podcast, essay, story, interview, or other real material often gives us a starting point for conversation and focused work on vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, and expression.

From $45 · 55–60 minutes

Reading & Discussion Groups

Small groups for intermediate and advanced learners who enjoy reading and serious conversation. Each meeting will center on a short story, essay, article, or other shared text, with discussion and close attention to how ideas are expressed in English.

Groups are currently being planned.

“I like having literature lessons with Ryan. Every time before the lesson he chose carefully reading materials and sent them to me, so I could get to know a variety of writing styles and narrative techniques. He guided me through the reading with well crafted questions which got me thinking more deeply. What I like most is that he offered to correct my short response during the lesson and gave me great feedback. I think his lessons are well structured and thought-provoking.”

“Amazing first lesson! Ryan had sent me a beautiful short story to read and today we have had a very interesting conversation about it, he asked me a lot of questions not only about the story but also about my interests and my job, he is very interested in understanding how to tailor the lessons to my needs and interests. It's a pleasure to talk to him, he made me feel very comfortable and at the end of the lesson he explained my mistakes and what I need to focus on.”

“I was fortunate to have Ryan as my literature teacher. His diligence is outstanding. He always shows up with well-organized notes and handouts, making sure every lesson is productive. Ryan's passion for literature is infectious. He vividly describes the stories and characters, bringing the books to life. His simple yet effective teaching technique, like explaining difficult passages clearly, has made me understand literature much better. I truly appreciate his teaching.”
