Hi, I’m Lou!
With over 13 years experience teaching English and coaching professionals worldwide, I specialize in helping you refine your language skills and gain the confidence to communicate effectively in any setting.
As a certified life and business coach, I go beyond just language learning. I help you develop essential soft skills and navigate your personal growth, so you can tackle career challenges, lead with confidence, and unlock your full potential.
Language is more than just words—it’s about transformation, connection, and empowerment. If you’re ready to grow, I’m here to guide you on that journey.Me as a Teacher
"Discover the World Through Language."
As your coach, my style is relaxed, supportive, flexible, and tailored to maximize the return on your time and investment. Expect fun, dynamic, conversation-based sessions focused on real-world practice, making mistakes and learning from them.
Now imagine a learning experience where your goals, challenges, and growth shape every lesson. How would it feel, and what results can you achieve, when you're fully supported and empowered? I’m here to offer more than just lessons—I’m here to be your partner in progress.
If you're ready to take the next step on your learning journey, let’s connect, get started, and create lasting, positive change together.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons go beyond the standard one-hour class. I’m here to really support your progress, providing personalized audio files, in-depth feedback, correction drills, and study materials tailored to your needs. Each session is designed to keep you engaged, motivated, and focused on your goals—whether that's mastering business communication or building the confidence to ace an interview.
We’ll work together to craft a learning plan that suits your style, with regular progress tracking to make sure you’re always moving forward. I adapt as we go, so no two sessions are ever the same. With a flexible and supportive approach, you’ll get the guidance and resources you need to succeed.My teaching material

I have been attending weekly classes with Lou since last year. Lou is professional and knowledgeable, and he offers a variety of teaching methods and materials tailored to my needs. He has helped me improve my overall language level from B2 to C1, and I’m looking forward to progressing to an even higher level.

I just finished another lesson with Louis, and I have to say that every session I’ve had with him so far has been a truly positive experience. Louis has a thoughtful and intuitive approach—he really listens and is able to read between the lines, which makes his guidance feel very personal and relevant.
He’s great at coming up with practical examples and exercises that help bring the material to life. What I also really appreciate is how flexible he is; he adapts to my needs and always makes sure the session aligns with what I’m looking for at that moment.
Working with Louis feels supportive and motivating. I highly recommend him!
