When life gets busy, regular language classes are not always possible. This is where my news-based self-study resources come in, letting you learn anytime, anywhere and at your own pace.
Each month, I select a trending medical story or clinical case and turn it into focused language lessons. Through these lessons, you will expand your vocabulary and strengthen other core Medical English skills.
As your skills grow, so will your confidence, helping you move steadily towards the next proficiency level.
And there's more good news: learning with medical stories not only develops your language but also keeps you informed about the latest developments in medicine. As we all know, medicine never stands still, so you will always have fresh, interesting stories to learn from.
My news-based learning is designed for busy health professionals and medical students who want flexibility without losing focus.
Total flexibility: study at your own pace, anytime and anywhere.
Smart learning: develop your language skills through real-world medical stories chosen for their professional relevance.
Free trial: begin with free sample materials, then choose an affordable subscription for regular practice that aligns with your goals.
Strong core language skills are important at every level, not just for beginners. They are the foundation for all your English abilities. Better core skills lead to greater fluency and accuracy, which improves everything you do, from understanding complex texts and conversations to speaking and writing with confidence.

A: All study materials are delivered through my Patreon. While I post free materials occasionally, subscribers get new lessons regularly, typically on a weekly basis. Once you join, new content appears directly in your Patreon feed, and you can choose to get email notifications so you never miss an update.
A: My news-based materials are suitable for all proficiency levels. They are written at an intermediate level, the standard usually needed to pass language tests for health professionals (such as the OET).
Pre-intermediate learners can also use them with translation tools. This technique, called translanguaging, means using all the languages you know to help you understand, remember and use English more effectively.
Advanced learners can explore the original sources linked in most of the news-based lessons to discover more advanced vocabulary and complex grammar in authentic, unedited texts.
A: I understand that frustration, and you are not alone. Often, the problem is not you, it is the method. Many Medical English textbooks and courses rely on word lists and abstract grammar rules, teaching them in isolation. Without a real context, those words and rules are hard to remember and even harder to use when you need them.
This is the exact problem my news-based teaching approach solves. By learning through real medical stories, you can see vocabulary and grammar used together naturally. This helps you understand and, most importantly, remember the right words when you need to speak or write.
A: Yes, I offer some free materials so you can try my teaching approach and see if it suits you. When you are ready to go further, you can subscribe to receive new study materials on a regular basis. Each set focuses on using English in a different professional context (clinical, academic or business.) Each Patreon tier gives you access to all materials from the previous levels, plus new, more advanced content. You can explore the subscription options and pricing on my Patreon page.
A: Absolutely! You can upgrade, downgrade or cancel your subscription at any time directly through your Patreon account. You will have access to the content for the duration of your billing period.
Consider turning key vocabulary and grammar practice activities from your lesson into flashcards, paper or digital.
If you go for digital flash cards, pick an app with spaced repetition. This is a method that schedules reviews at the specific time to lock words into your long-term memory, making studying more efficient.
Do not worry if the lessons feel challenging at first. This is completely normal. Feel free to use translation tools or bilingual dictionaries to support your understanding. Using them is not a weakness but a smart learning strategy that helps you build confidence and gradually rely less on translation over time.
Practise your speaking skills in a supportive group setting. Choose from a variety of clubs for like-minded learners pursuing similar goals, or start your own group with friends or colleagues.
Get the language for clinical, academic or business purposes to meet the demands of your field. My focused training delivers the key skills quickly, so you can reach your goals faster.
