Advance payment by bank transfer is preferred.
What? Learning materials
Learning materials need to be interesting, engaging, and mirror the real world to help you save time and communicate more efficiently outside the classroom. I often create my own materials by adapting authentic sources, such as professional blog posts, brochures, company reports, newspapers, articles from 'The Economist', YouTube videos, etc. We will also use tried and tested activities written by professionals to practise those areas of English that often cause problems for Lithuanian learners. I've lived and worked here since 2003, and I am a life-long learner myself, so I have some idea of what you will probably find challenging.
Who? Your Teacher: Hannah Shipman
With 20+ years' teaching experience, Hannah has taught in the Czech Republic, Estonia, and Lithuania. As a language learner herself, she understands the joys and frustrations of studying. Originally from England, she holds a Master's degree, as well as teaching certificates in teaching English to adults and Business English.

Get in touch today to let me know what you need to do in English, and how I can help you to do it more fluently, accurately, and efficiently.
 
As you can see, I am involved in any kind of project connected to improving the level of English here in Lithuania.

How can EnglishTeacher.lt help you?

I'd like to improve my spoken English

All of my classes are hands-on. You will be given plenty of chance to speak in pairs, small groups, as well as with me. To improve your speaking, it is not rocket science to point out that you need to have a chance to speak!

I've got loads of questions!

Great, please ask away! I might not always be able to answer, but I'll do my best to find the answer. Language is not static; it's organic and always changing, which is why it is so exciting. There are also lots of 'Englishes'. I will happily answer your questions about British English and culture.

I know my vocabulary is weak

During our lessons, I will expose you to a lot of new vocabulary, either through exploiting listening or reading texts or while talking to each other. I'll try and point out patterns and make sure you know how to use the new chunks or expressions. You should prioritise about 6 word partnerships to use out of class in your daily life. We'll do some activities or play revision games to recycle the expressions and help you to remember them.

Tenses - they're so difficult!

Sometimes it is clear which tense you should use. The fun starts at higher levels when we analyse why one tense is more suitable than another, which inevitably involves all the interesting nuances of language. What hidden information do we convey when we choose one tense over another?

I would like to understand more TV programmes and music

Fantastic. It means you are already interested in the cultural aspects of learning a language. I'll share with you the programmes I think you will enjoy watching and some useful podcasts. The first step is motivation, so it sounds as if you are in the right frame of mind to learn.
