Improve English Speaking & Listening: Lessons That Fit Adult Learners

If you're an adult migrant living in Australia, you’ve probably heard this before:

“Just practise speaking more!”

But what if you’re already trying… and still not improving?

Or what if your English classes don’t match your real life?

That’s where personalised lessons come in — especially for speaking and listening.

Real-life English learning from home — personalised lessons that fit your schedule and goals

These English lessons for migrants are designed to fit your real life — from job interviews to daily chats, you’ll build confidence in speaking and listening through personalised support.

Because learning English isn’t just about ticking boxes.

It’s about using the right English for your life, your job, and your confidence.

🧭 Your Lessons Focus on What You Want to Do

Every adult learner is different.

Some of my students want to speak more clearly in staff meetings.

Others want to understand their neighbour’s fast Aussie accent or feel confident at the hairdresser.

That’s why your lessons aren’t based on a fixed textbook or a one-size-fits-all plan.

Instead, your learning is based on:

• What situations you want to feel confident in

  
  

• What accents, tones, or slang you struggle with

  
  

• What kind of feedback helps you improve fastest

  
  

• What you want to talk about — work, health, parenting, social life, interviews, anything

  
  

This means we work on the exact skills you need — not random worksheets.

🧩 Real-Life English, Not Just Textbook Exercises

Most adult migrants already know a lot of English. But they freeze when it’s time to speak, or get lost when locals speak too fast.

That’s why I use real conversation tasks — not just matching exercises or grammar drills.

These are some personalised strategies I've used in the past to help improve English speaking and listening skills:

✅ Role-playing medical appointments (for students with chronic conditions or kids with allergies)

✅ Practising job interview answers using the student's actual CV

✅ Listening to and analysing voice messages from school staff, Centrelink, or real voicemails

✅ Breaking down slang from a student's favourite Aussie show

✅ Doing “walking lessons” in public places to practise small talk and listening in real life (cafés, libraries, shopping centres)

All of these were based on what the learner needed — not what a textbook said.

Learning English is more than lessons — it’s about feeling confident connecting with others in real-life moments

🔁 Flexible, Supportive, and Practical

You don’t need to follow a strict curriculum.

Instead, I guide you with:

• Weekly feedback on pronunciation, fluency, and confidence

  
  

• Simple tools to stay calm and focused while listening

  
  

• Personalised conversation tasks based on your situations

  
  

• Real-world advice to help you speak and listen clearly in daily life

  
  

Whether you're preparing for a job interview, settling into a new community, or just want to feel more natural in conversations — your lessons will match your life.
