About Me
Hello! I am Edward, a CELTA-qualified English tutor from England with 2000+ hours of online and classroom teaching experience. I also offer reduced rates for students looking to take 45-minute or 30-minute classes.
My present students come from all backgrounds, countries, age ranges and levels of English; whether business professionals looking to improve their international communication skills or school pupils trying to get to the top of their class, I have helped dozens of students make the breakthroughs they have been searching for. Just read my reviews!
From advanced level students perfecting their grammar and expanding their vocabulary to near-beginners wanting to raise their confidence levels and improve their conversational skills, I have helped them all on their journey through the English language.
My knowledge of languages, linguistics and philology is extensive, but I am keen on keeping things accessible, relevant and fun when I teach.
I am a trained multi-linguist, speaking both French and Spanish, with a BA degree (2:1) in Hispanic Studies at the University of Nottingham and a CELTA qualification from the University of Sheffield's acclaimed ELTC.

My trial lessons
- For the first 5 minutes, I tell you a little about who I am, who I teach and how I teach them.
- Then we focus on you, the student, and why you want to improve your English.
- Asking key questions about your experience with English and your future goals, I analyse your needs as I analyse your skill levels.
- From this I outline a path for us to follow in order to achieve your goals.
- Finally, I aim to teach you something in English in the trial lesson that you never knew before!
