Want to practice speaking English? English proofreading?

Hello, I am a native English speaker and I am looking for work helping people practice their English speaking skills. I also have experience proofreading documents for non-native English speakers. I currently live in Zurich, but if you want to send me documents to proofread this can be done by email!

Thanks for reading, please reply if you're interested!

just to let you know - it's practise when it's a verb in British English! practice is a noun!

Re: Want to practice speaking English? English proofreading?

you're absolutely right, in American English there is never an 's' in 'practice' - but it's also a mistake that native British English speakers make more often than you might think! They forget that it's spelt differently depending on whether it's a verb or a noun!

Australians never practise.

They get it right first time.

(That's complete rubbish, of course)

Are you still interested in helping people practice their English speaking skills. I am looking for someone to help my children.
Can you also give online training? Please let me know.
