MD, MSc & WHO Health Specialist | Professional & Conversational English & IELTS Instructor I’m a medical doctor and health specialist at the World Health Organization with over 15 years of experience working in international environments, including in Switzerland and Germany. English has been my main working language throughout my career, and I achieved an overall IELTS Academic score of 8.5 with minimal preparation. Alongside my work, I’ve taught English through Berlitz, GCSE-level instruction, and volunteer work with children and migrants. I enjoy helping people express themselves clearly and confidently, and I bring a structured yet relaxed approach to every session. As a teacher, I combine experience from both ends of the spectrum: developing and delivering trainings for WHO staff and healthcare professionals, and teaching English in informal settings with underprivileged children and migrant communities. This has made my approach both adaptable and supportive: creating a comfortable environment for speaking practice while providing practical guidance to improve fluency and confidence. My lessons are practical and conversation-focused. Depending on your goals, we can focus on: • Everyday conversation and fluency • Job applications and interview preparation • IELTS/TOEFL speaking practice • Professional communication I tailor each session to your level and goals to ensure lessons are engaging, useful, and relevant to your needs.

HK Born 🇭🇰 | UK Living 🇬🇧: Fun & interactive conversations with Pi Pi 🙋‍♂️ About Me Hi! I’m Pi Pi 皮皮 ピピ, or you can call me Chen Pi (陳皮 /チンピ)! I was born and raised in Hong Kong. Ten years ago, I was a backpacker 🎒 traveling across Europe. My dream came true when I finally moved to the UK 4 years ago and have been living here ever since! I have been working in different hotels across the UK 🏨I communicate in English every single day with people having different accents from all over the world. 😉 My English Story By British standards, my English is “not bad!” Of course, I don’t have a "perfect" native accent, but I am very confident in my oral English. Why? Because I have spent years making mistakes, learning from them, and speaking again and again until it became my own natural style. 🤝 I Understand You! 害怕开口说英语?别紧张,我不是你的「老师」,我是你的「英語好朋友」。 英語を話すのが怖い?大丈夫、私は「先生」ではなく、何でも話せる「英語の友達」です。 Maybe you are shy to speak, or you do not know how to put words into a full sentence. I know this because I experienced all of this before! I am not a native speaker, I did not study abroad, and I used to struggle just like you. My English was built through backpacking and real-life work🛠️. 🌍Real Life UK Stories We can use my personal stories from living in the UK as fun conversation starters. 🎮 Interactive Games I have designed interactive games that we can play during our sessions. Not sure which course is for you? ✅ Total beginner → Pi Pi’s Cafe ✅ Love travelling → Global Cafe ✅ Planning or already living abroad → Expat Cafe

⭐⭐⭐ Friendly English Tutor - Let's chat about your interests! I moved from Moscow to Canada 🇨🇦 in 2007 and speak English at a near-native level. But I also know what it's like to learn a language as an adult - I'm now working on French 🇫🇷 and Cantonese 🇭🇰 As a tutor I'll push you (gently!) to express yourself in a nuanced way, help you find the words when you're stuck, and create a space where mistakes are part of the process! When you're relaxed, you absorb so much more 🌱 Lessons are flexible and built around you 🎯 We can work on everyday conversations, travel, professional language, or just talk about whatever you're into. Progress and consistency matter more than perfection ✨ Here are a few of my favourite conversation topics: 🗺️ Travel 📚 Books 🎬 Movies & TV shows 🧘🏻‍♀️ Yoga 🧠 Psychology 🪡 Cross-stitching 🏂🏻 Snowboarding Think of it less like a class and more like a chat with a friend ☕ Can't wait to meet you!

Creative ESL teacher for artists, students & storytellers I took my TESOL certificate while I was working on my MFA in Painting. It was my "back up plan", but I have been using it ever since. I love helping students gain confidence and linguistic skills, often alongside other scholastic or academic endeavours. I specialise in academic English and examination preparation, but I also have extensive experience teaching children from the age of 5. I believe that the key to teaching is patience, flexibility, and an understanding of a student's needs. I do not adhere strictly to any particular methodology, as I feel there is no one-size-fits-all approach to teaching.

Hi I'm Alex! CELTA Certified & Native English Tutor. Hi! My name is Alex. I’m 20 years old and a native English speaker from Yorkshire, England. I hold a CELTA certificate in teaching English to adults, and I enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds and cultures. If you’re interested in learning with a friendly native speaker in a relaxed and supportive environment, feel free to get in touch. My passion for teaching sparked when I began working as a stallholder. I realised I genuinely enjoy communicating and explaining things to people, which then led me to my true calling: teaching! As a teacher, I’m friendly and patient. I aim to create a relaxed learning environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes and practising English without pressure. I believe we learn best when lessons are enjoyable, so I work hard to make my classes interesting and engaging whilst also giving you the right level of challenge to help you improve. I like to make my lessons as student-centred and practical as possible, which means we'll focus on real-life examples and authentic materials to practise English as it's actually used. We’ll practise speaking as much as possible, while also improving listening, reading, and writing, so you can use English confidently in everyday situations. But most importantly, each lesson will be designed around your needs so that you can progress in the areas that matter most to you.
