InterestsHistoryReadingFood

Hi, I'm Paul and I'm a qualified English teacher from England, now based in the UK. I love teaching English to adults, which is why I have been doing it full-time for 30 years. In fact, I am also an avid language learner myself, which explains why I am currently learning German. My other interests include psychology, history, personal development and long-distance running.

Me as a Teacher

Around 10 years ago, I switched to one-to-one English tutoring and coaching. In this setting, I can identify more clearly individual needs and modify the course accordingly. I always try to strike a balance between enjoyment on the one hand and solid progress on the other.

My lessons & teaching style

In a typical conversation course, for instance, as we have an enjoyable chat based on topics I think you will find interesting, I will monitor your English and make a note of alternative words, collocations and expressions you could have used, issues you have with pronunciation and intonation, as well as any unnatural phrasing or grammar mistakes. We will talk about these issues in the lesson and I will test you regularly on these points in future lessons.

It was a perfect class. Paul is a very professional teacher. He gave me recommendations to improve my English, corrected my pronunciation and my mistakes. He plans the lessons and I felt very comfortable and happy during the class. I will continue with him and I highly recommend him.
