| Confusing Words - Everyday Language |
There are three small English words that cause a lot of difficulty for many people. To, Too and Two are homophones and even native English speakers confuse them, too. This video has been created to help you avoid confusion in the future. It aims to entertain you, too. There are self-test questions under the video to help you practice what you have learned in the video. |

I am a native British English teacher. I have University of Cambridge teaching qualifications and many years of experience teaching in Spain. I am also a professional published writer, speak Spanish, and now teach exclusively online. My students appreciate the convenience of having access to an English teacher when and where it suits them. Unlike in a classroom, my students enjoy my attention 100% of the time and never have to feel shy or embarrassed about making mistakes. |
Before you can take Intensive Classes or Conversation Classes, you must have an Introductory Class.
Why an Introductory Class? I can assess your level of English. I can see what you need as a student. This helps me to plan your online classes. You can meet me and can see how I teach online. Student places are limited. Don’t wait to book an Introductory Class! Book today and don’t lose your place! I look forward to speaking to you soon. To book your Introductory Class, you need to become a member of Linguaspectrum. There is a nominal 3€ fee for the Introductory Class. This checks that you can use Paypal or Moneybookers in your country. I am a Trusted Merchant with both, so you know your transaction is safe and secure. |

Intensive Classes I make innovative use of technology in my lessons. I use screen-sharing so that I can explain language points to you during class. It's just like having me sitting beside you in your own home or office, though we can be thousands of miles apart! |
|
|
Intensive Classes are for students who want an intensive course of study and are willing to work hard to improve their English. Students who want a less intensive learning experience can choose my Conversation Classes instead. |
Before every Intensive Class I will send you a Class Preparation Pack that can include the following:
- Grammar
- Vocabulary
- Reading
- Listening activities
Actual content will match your level and your study needs. The Class Preparation Pack is an Adobe Acrobat file with embedded multimedia.
Your Intensive Classes can cover any preferred area of English for Special Purposes (ESP) including...
- General English
- Business English
- Medical English
- English for Technology
- Exam English for the Cambridge exams - PET, FCE, CAE, CPE
- I specialise in the Cambridge First Certificate in English exam, having taught it for many years.
- TOEFL and TOEIC
- Selectividad
...and will normally be based on one of the excellent textbooks from my extensive private teaching library.
After completing the Class Preparation Pack you will have 30 minutes online Intensive Class with me based on the content of the Preparation Pack.
You can buy individual classes though most of my students save money by buying a package of classes.
| Buy | Total Cost | Cost per Class |
| 1 | €9.00 | €9.00 |
| 5 | €42.50 | €8.50 |
| 10 | €80.00 | €8.00 |
| 20 | €150.00 | €7.50 |
Book your classes at the times and dates that suit you - depending on availability of class times.
There are class times available on the booking calendar 7 days a week. You are sure to find a time that suits your busy lifestyle.
These classes cost a little more than Conversation Classes because they involve considerably more work on my part.

A new way to learn online...

If you want private English classes with a real teacher you have to pay!
This is not a new concept. We live in a world where people sell their skills to others in order to earn their living. I sell my skills as a teacher to students.
I understand that for some students, even my very low prices are too expensive.
Will I teach you for free? Of course not! You would not learn much anyway, because I would soon die of hunger.
A fellow teacher told me the other day: "There's no such thing as a free lunch!"
It got me thinking that you can pay a lot for your lunch, or you can pay a little but still be satisfied.
I have come as close as any teacher can to teaching you privately for free...
Try my new online English courses. See what you think.
