English with Darren

My way of teaching is simple: you learn English by using it.

In every lesson, you do something real with the language. You talk about a video, read an article, or solve a problem. You do not just study grammar rules on their own. When you use new words and grammar, you remember them much better.

Every lesson follows the CEFR levels, so you always know your level and what comes next. You move from the easy parts to the harder ones, step by step. We use all four skills (speaking, listening, reading, and writing), but we spend the most time on speaking and real conversation. My lessons are fun and active, not boring worksheets, and you get feedback right away so you can fix your mistakes fast.

Here is what makes my classes different:

I build your lessons just for you. They are not the same lessons that everyone else gets. With the help of AI, I create new lessons that come from your real life. The topics, the examples, and the conversations all come from your world: your job, your interests, and your goals. Do you work in business? You learn English for business. Do you have a big presentation next month? We practise for it. Every lesson is made around you and only you. Most schools do not do this.

I teach English through real topics that matter to adults. Choose what interests you:

1. For work and career: Leadership, Business topics, Public Speaking, and Job Interview Preparation
2. Through big ideas: TED Talks, Philosophy, Emotional Intelligence, and Human Psychology and Behaviour
3. Exam preparation: IELTS and CELPIP

You also build the core skills in every class: clear speaking and pronunciation (I am a native Canadian English speaker and TEFL certified instructor), strong reading and writing for work or study, and clear steps to move up from B1 to C2.

I teach private 1-on-1 lessons, made just for you. The goal is always the same: not English you only know in your head, but English you can really use.

Choose your plan:

1. Drop-in (1 session): A single class, any time. Best for a one-off lesson or to try things out.
2. 4-Pack (4 sessions): Four classes to use whenever you like. No monthly plan.
3. 8-Pack (8 sessions): Eight classes to use whenever you like, at a better price per class.
4. Once-Weekly (4 per month): One class every week to build a steady habit. Cheaper than the pack.
5. Twice-Weekly (8 per month): Two classes every week for the fastest progress. Our most popular plan.
6. Annual (96 per year): A full year of classes, paid once, at our best price per class.
