Who we help

English that works in the room you are actually walking into

PS English helps non-native English speakers who already speak some English and want to speak it better. Our students are professionals, students, and people building a life in the UK. We teach one-to-one, online across the UK and face-to-face in London, and we have been teaching English in London since 2001.

Professionals

Preparing for a meeting, a presentation, a job interview or a new role.

University students

Coping with lectures, tutorials, seminars and academic writing.

People living in the UK

Who want to feel more at home in everyday English.

Exam candidates

Preparing for IELTS, TOEFL, or Cambridge exams.

Why PS English

Why students choose PS English

1

One teacher, one student, one plan

Every lesson is one-to-one and built around you. No fixed curriculum, no group of strangers, no waiting your turn. Your teacher plans each lesson around the situations you actually face.

2

Experienced British teachers

Our teachers are native British English speakers with years of experience teaching adults. You get warm, patient, practical teaching from someone who understands what learning English as a second language is really like.

3

Real English, not textbook English

The English you will actually hear at work, on the train, in a meeting, or at the pub. We focus on natural British English — pronunciation, intonation, and the small phrases that make a real difference — correcting recurring errors and offering alternatives to build your vocabulary.

4

Flexible, online or in person

Lessons fit around your schedule, not the other way around. Take them online from anywhere in the world, in person in London, or mix the two as it suits you.

What our students say
After fifteen years of working in English, I still felt like I was guessing in meetings. After three months with PS English I am leading them. The lessons were honest, useful and exactly what I needed.

Getting started

How it works

1

Book a 20-minute consultation to match you with a teacher

We usually hold this over Zoom with our Principal. We confirm your goals, any preferences for lesson content, and a time for lessons that works for you.

2

Your 60-minute online trial lesson for £20

You meet the teacher we have matched for you, who is available to teach you beyond the first lesson. They assess your English, give you a flavour of their style, and together you agree what comes next. You are also welcome to skip the trial and book a block straightaway.

3

You decide

No pressure either way. Most students book a block of lessons after the trial, but plenty take a few days to think it over, and a few decide PS English is not the right fit or ask to try a different teacher. All of those are fine.
