Private lessons in Tunis and online
One teacher, one student at a time
I teach English to students aged 8 to 18 — one to one, in Tunis or online. Every student starts with a free trial lesson and a plan we agree together.

Three things most students come to me for
Reading and writing
Comprehension, spelling and structure, built up through short pieces marked every week.
Exam preparation
Past papers under timed conditions, then the parts that cost marks, worked through together.
Speaking and confidence
Conversation with a purpose — presentations, interviews and the nerve to use the language.
About me
I taught secondary English for twelve years before going out on my own, and I still mark every piece of work myself. I take a small number of students so that each one gets a lesson built around what they actually need, not a course they have to keep up with — at my study in Tunis, at the student's home where it is close enough, and online for everyone else.
How it works
Four steps, and the first one is free.
- 1
A free trial lesson
Week oneForty-five minutes, no charge and no commitment. We find out where the student is and whether we get on.
- 2
A plan we agree
The same weekI write down what we are working towards and how we will know it is working. You get a copy.

Weekly lessons
Every weekThe same time every week, with homework set at the end and marked before we next meet.

A short report
Every monthOne page: what we covered, what improved, what still needs work. No surprises at exam time.
Students and parents
What they say afterwards
“The monthly report is the thing that changed it for us. We could see what was improving instead of guessing, and so could our daughter.”

“I had failed the speaking part twice. We spent six weeks on it and nothing else, and I passed. It was the first time anyone had told me exactly what was wrong.”

Online lessons
“My son actually does the homework, which has never happened before. It is short and he can see the point of it.”
