Why English Hills?Our names are Laurence and Madeleine Hill. We were both born in England of English parents and regularly re-visit the land of our birth. Our heritage is therefore genuinely English.
We are both highly experienced educators, with qualifications in English, Speech and Drama, TEFL, Business English and Proofreading. We are passionate about the English language and provide English tuition, communication coaching and proofreading services. We are therefore, in every sense of the phrase, English Hills. At English Hills, we do not have large fixed costs to pay on our premises. We are therefore able to offer our services at very competitive rates. We don't offer group classes so all our students get private, individual tuition. This is either provided online or face-to-face at our home in Cape Town. |
