Hi, I'm Richard, an English teacher and Cambridge-qualified IELTS instructor with over 8 years of experience. I’m from the UK, just two hours outside London, and I specialize in preparing students for both the IELTS and TOEFL exams. I customize curriculums to meet the rigorous standards of top-tier universities like Oxford and Cambridge, ensuring students excel in both language proficiency and academic readiness. In addition to teaching, I host the "Love to Learn English" podcast, available on iTunes and Spotify. I am also a musician, you can also find my first album by searching for "For Shoupe, It Shines Forever" by Rich Forrest on both YouTube and Spotify. NOTE - I teach ages 13+.

I have been learning English with Richard since summer and I feel a huge progress. First, I forgot about my language barrier. I used to get nervous when I was speaking in English. But now I am comfortable to speak in English and completly forgot about this feeling. Second, this is my grammar skills. My favorite thing is that we often discuss how British and American people use this rule in common life. The big news was that native speakers do mistakes :) 3rd, I increased my vocabulary and I often use new learned phrases and words in a conversation. In the end I would like to add that Richard is friendly, supportive and at the same time always controls your learning process doesn't give you to decrease your requirements. Thank you.

Richard, thank you 🙏🏻 You gave me very useful strategies for speaking. It is that thing that I’ve always been thinking about but couldn’t formulate and organize it. I’m really glad that I chose you as a teacher.

Each lesson Richard gives me some homework and later we go through what I did - which motivates me to be always prepared.

During the first lesson, we were able to discuss my goals and how I can achieve them. Rich explains everything clearly, gives specific details. During first lesson I was even able to practice the part of test I'm struggling with. I will definitely continue my preparation with Rich!
