I’ve been learning English with Richard for almost two years, and it’s been much more than lessons — it changed my relationship with the language.
When we started, I was scared to speak and obsessed with being “correct.” Richard helped me shift from fear of mistakes to speaking freely and adjusting as I go. Now I can self-correct calmly, without shame or feeling judged.
Richard’s background as a counsellor and yoga teacher shows up naturally in his teaching — grounded, steady support that quietly builds confidence over time. Two years ago I couldn’t imagine running a workshop in English with an English-speaking client. This year I did my first one.
What I love most is that we don’t study rules in a traditional way. We talk, read books, explore real topics — and confidence grows in small steps, through natural immersion. English stopped feeling like a test and became something I can truly make mine.
If you want to learn to speak with ease, not just “get it right,” Richard is rare.

I really liked how the class flowed. The feeling I had during the session was more like having a good chat with a friend, with interesting topics and the opportunity to talk, plus you feel comfortable because Richard is very patient and attentive. I will definitely book more classes with him 👍🏻

Richard is truly one of the best English teachers I’ve met. Patient, attentive, and always fully focused on the student. He strikes the perfect balance between being friendly and professional. I really appreciate how he makes English feel so simple and approachable. Excellent job, and I’m already looking forward to the next lesson!

The teacher was very helpful. The entire conversation was friendly and the language was understandable with pleasant accent. I feel more confortable with the language after the first conversation which I will definitely continue my studies with Richard.
