About Me

👋 Hello, I'm Robert and most of my students call me Robert as well. I am from the US where I grew up in the Bronx (part of NYC) and moved around to a few other places as well. I lived near Charlotte, NC before I moved abroad. I now live in Baguio City in the mountains of the Philippines! I have been helping students with Conversational ESL for almost 5 years now and have had over 2,000 lessons. People in my personal life always said I was a good teacher, and I enjoy talking to people around the world, so doing this seemed like a good direction. I love it!
I can't wait to meet you and see you flourish as a confident English speaker! 🌟Me as a Teacher
NEW STUDENTS: Please begin by booking a 30 minute lesson or Trial as your first lesson or I will politely decline your request. I only teach students ages 15+.
I have a 160-Hour TEFL Certification and almost 5 years experience. I work fully online using Skype and Zoom as my main tools for lessons. Most of my current regular students are of Intermediate or Advanced level, but I have resources to help Beginners too. My students are mostly from Europe (Spain, Poland, Belarus, Russia, Germany) and Asia (S.Korea, Taiwan, China, Hong Kong). I have also had students from South America (Venezuela, Brazil, Chile, Peru).My lessons & teaching style
My style is very relaxed and casual so we can focus on speaking naturally and sharing our ideas about any topic you want. During our free conversations I focus on all aspects of English: vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. We can also practice your listening, reading, and writing skills if you want. I do have short article materials for short lessons (30 minutes) but my main material is a large list of topics about our world which can range from simple to complex ideas.
Many students don't feel confident with their English skills. My focus is to help you feel comfortable and relaxed so you can speak more naturally without being afraid of mistakes. We all make mistakes!My teaching material

Real human review! No AI.
I can strongly recommend Robert to anyone, personally he's the best teacher I ever had. The conversations are always so bright and vivid. Also I appreciate that Robert asks you a lot of questions and gives you the possibility to answer them and learn in this active way.

We had a terrific chat with each others during these lessons! I think Mr Robert is a extremely nice person that we have talked about our life experiences and some funny things! During our conversation, Mr Robert always finds some of my mistakes in my speaking and he always some suitable expression for me to help express my ideas💡 It’s great to chat with Mr Robert and I have learnt a lot during these several lessons🙆🏻♀️🙆🏻♀️
