Private English Teacher, London

Are you searching for quality private English lessons in London? Would you like to improve your English in the comfort of your own home or office?

My name is Toby Wilks and I am a Cambridge trained & qualified English language teacher. I have many years experience in teaching English to students from a wide variety of countries. I have taught in places such as Spain, Poland, Indonesia, and London.

I conduct my lessons in a friendly and relaxed manner, focusing on the skills you feel you need to practise. English lessons are available throughout the London area. You can come to my home or I can come to your home or workplace, or we can meet in a less formal place such as a cafe or the park. Lessons are from 1-2 hours long, and we can meet as often as you like. I also offer lessons worldwide through Skype.

Your first lesson is completely free of charge! 

“A year has passed since I started my private lessons with Toby. What I appreciate about them is his focus on my mistakes and on my needs, so that the lesson does not seem like something abstract I have to learn because that is the programme, but rather something I do to improve my ability in the English language. Furthermore the most valuable point of the lesson is the attention to my accent, on the pronunciation of words and sentences. I have to say that thanks to Toby I now know how to say simple, everyday words and expressions in English without sounding wrong. I highly recommend Toby Wilks as a private teacher.”
