Hi, my name’s Paul and I’m from Scotland. I’m a fully certified English teacher and have been teaching for almost 20 years. Over the years I've taught in most kinds of establishments and taught all levels of students.

Me as a Teacher

The beauty of private lessons is that they can be adapted to suit your needs. I believe that learning can be enjoyable and that students retain information better when they enjoy learning. However, practise makes perfect so I try to give as much of a chance for you to practise your skills as possible.

My lessons & teaching style

I have a great many resources available. A favourite lesson among my current students is a structured speaking lesson revolving around a news article which, like most good conversations, leads to other topics. Many of my current students are studying for the IELTS exam so also focus on exam practise but every lesson is different and depends a lot on the student.
