I've 3 years experience as a TSOL qualified teacher, and a science degree.

I am an experienced English tutor specialising in one-to-one lessons for intermediate and advanced learners. My teaching focuses strongly on conversation, with the aim of helping students speak more confidently, clearly, and naturally in real-world situations.
After a long professional career in engineering, quality assurance, and management consultancy, I bring a practical, structured approach to teaching English, particularly for students who use English in business or professional contexts. I am used to explaining complex ideas clearly and encouraging effective communication, skills which transfer naturally into language teaching.
My lessons are calm, supportive, and student-focused. I encourage learners to speak as much as possible, while offering clear, constructive feedback on pronunciation, grammar, and expression. Accuracy is important, but confidence and clarity always come first.
I also teach everyday conversational English for work, travel, and daily life. While my style is straightforward and down-to-earth rather than trendy or slang-based, many students appreciate this for its clarity and usefulness.
I speak with a clear British accent, influenced by traditional BBC English, and place particular emphasis on understandable pronunciation and natural phrasing.
If you are looking for a patient, experienced tutor who will help you communicate more effectively and with greater confidence, I would be pleased to work with you.
