PDF Via Skype

All my lessons are prepared with the use of PDF files which are sent over to you via the lesson. These can be referred to at any time and will help with the learning process. To find out more try a free 30 minute lesson via Skype today!!

Lesson Plans

These are designed around your needs. All lesson plans are sent one day before class so that you know exactly what subject we are going to discuss, and the objectives of that lesson. Support notes are sent to you during lessons as PDF attachments on Skype. If you are not used to having classes online, I invite you to try it with a 30 min trial to help you understand how the process works. It's actually easier than fueling a car and allowing time for a journey to a school. You learn more because there are no wasted minutes leaving you more time to focus on learning. Effective learning requires modern techniques and this is a relatively new teaching platform, I hope to see you in class.
