Real English
for Real Life
One-to-one English lessons with experienced British teachers. Online across the UK, face-to-face in London — built around the real conversations you need at work, at university, and in everyday life.
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.
Preparing for a meeting, a presentation, a job interview or a new role.
Coping with lectures, tutorials, seminars and academic writing.
Who want to feel more at home in everyday English.
Preparing for IELTS, TOEFL, or Cambridge exams.
Find the right lessons for you
One-to-one English lessons
Personal English lessons built around you and what you need to do in English. Business, professional, social, academic, or all of the above.
Exam preparation
Focused preparation for IELTS, TOEFL, and Cambridge BEC, with a teacher who knows the test and knows you.
Online lessons across the UK
One-to-one lessons online, wherever you are in the UK. Same teachers, same approach, no commute.
Face-to-face in London
Prefer to meet in person? Our London teachers offer face-to-face lessons in central London, or a mix of in-person and online.
Why students choose PS English
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
How it works
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.
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.
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.
