Hello! My name is Neil. I live in the English Midlands and work as an associate professor in international business at a top university. I used to be an English teacher in Peru and a Spanish teacher in the UK. After working in consultancy, I returned to education in 2012. I have a passion for languages. I speak Spanish, Portuguese, French, Welsh and Italian. I have lived in Peru and the United States. I have a PhD and BA in languages. At the moment, I am working on improving my Welsh and French. In addition, I have a BA in economics. As well as being TEFL certified, I am a Senior Fellow of Advance HE (SFHEA). I am also a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (FRSA).
Me as a Teacher
I have over 20 years of teaching experience and am a qualified university teacher. I started teaching English when I was a student in Peru, and have taught at universities and schools there. After returning to the UK, I taught Spanish at university level. I became a full-time business academic in 2012, and now teach employability, study skills and international business. This means that I am particularly able to help with business and academic English. For example, I would be happy to help with CV writing, interview preparation, writing business emails or developing business vocabulary. I could also assist with university applications, study skills and academic writing.
My lessons & teaching style
I believe it is important that you feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible. One-to-one lessons give us the opportunity to focus on your needs. I am particularly experienced at teaching upper intermediate and advanced adult learners, and do not teach beginners or children. I have a lot of experience of using collaborative tools like Google Docs and Padlet in my teaching. Our sessions can focus on specific business or academic tasks. If we do this, you can send me documents before lessons. Alternatively, I can develop a curriculum that is tailored to developing your English skills. If you book a trial lesson, we will use this to evaluate your level and develop an action plan.

Neil has helped me a lot with the preparation of an internal application process in my company. From the very first moment, he understood what I needed and shared the goal with me in a very professional way. Thank you for everything, Neil.

I'm glad I booked a lesson with Neil, this guy is an expert on language learning!
In a friendly and supportive way, he helped me to analyse my current challenges, define goals, and how to tackle them. I feel very confident that he's the professional that will take my English to the next level and I'm looking forward to our following lessons!
