Building Confident English Communicators

Lessons focus on helping learners build confidence in reading, writing, grammar, comprehension, and communication through engaging, individualised teaching.

What Makes Me Different?

At Lia's English Studio, I don't simply help learners complete homework. I help them become confident readers, writers, and communicators through personalised lessons tailored to their individual needs.

Every learner is different. That's why every lesson is designed around the learner's strengths, challenges and goals. Rather than relying on memorisation, I focus on understanding, confidence, and practical language skills that extend beyond the classroom.

Why Choose Lia’s English Studio

Most tutors can say:

  • I help with homework.

  • I improve marks.

  • I prepare learners for exams.

Very few tutors are also:

  • Professional editors

  • Writers

  • Lecturers

  • Language consultants

I use English professionally every single day. This gives me credibility that many tutors simply don't have

Lia Marus was my mentor when I was embarking on my editing journey. She never made any assumptions about my editing skills.

By first assessing what I already knew and establishing clear goals, she made the learning process incredibly comfortable.

She thoroughly engaged me in all aspects of editing, taking time the time to ensure I truly understood the work at hand.

What My Clients Say

— Pinkie S

When I decided to embark on a career as a language editor, I joined the Professional Editors' Guild and signed up for a mentorship programme. I was paired with Lia Marus.

Over the time of the mentorship she helped me understand the world of language and grammar editing, the importance of the voice of the author, and the value in believing in myself.

She provided practical examples for me to practise the skills I was gaining, and patiently took me through my attempts and explained areas that I needed to improve.

I have gained my accreditation as a text editor and one of the people I called to thank when I received my results, was Lia. I am grateful to her for the time she invested me and for helping me build my confidence as a editor.

The M.E.E.T Method

At Lia's English Studio, every lesson follows The M.E.E.T. Method, which is a personalised teaching approach designed to build confidence, deepen understanding, and encourage independent learning. Rather than focusing on memorisation, learners are guided through a structured process that helps them master concepts and apply their skills both inside and outside the classroom.

  • M – Measure

I begin by identifying each learner's strengths, challenges, and learning goals through observation and ongoing assessment.

  • E – Explain

Concepts are presented in clear, engaging, and age-appropriate ways that make learning meaningful and accessible.

  • E – Engage

Learners actively participate through discussion, practical activities, problem-solving, and guided practice that encourages curiosity and confidence.

  • T – Transfer

New skills are reinforced by applying them to different contexts, enabling learners to become independent, confident communicators who can use their knowledge beyond the lesson.
