Oli Ford

Founder, Teacher

Hello, everyone!

My name is Oli and I'm the founder of learnVIAchat (VIA). I'm a native speaker of English and have been in love with the language my entire life. Before VIA, I worked for different companies, teaching English to many students from around the world at all fluency levels. I also led a bilingual program at an international school for young children. My education and experience have led me to create a teaching platform to directly reach those interested in my teaching methodology. 

​

My teaching methodology is - personal, modern, relevant

​​

I design every lesson with each student considered. Each lesson is designed after the previous one is completed, as a continuation of the lesson's themes and teaching opportunities. Kept at small groups to maximise student-talking-time, our lessons will be directed conversation by myself with prepared materials to read and discuss, grammar exercises to practice, and vocabulary to organically introduce.
