Over
I provide General, Business, and exam English Language lessons and courses to groups and individuals, including reparation for IELTS and Cambridge English exams. In addition, I have tutored groups of Master’ Degree candidates at the IMO International Maritime Law Institute at the University of Malta and provided English Language courses for international business services.

I produce and deliver English Language courses to adult learners in groups, small groups, and one-to-one, covering English for General, Business, and Academic purposes. My courses are tailored to your requirements, which we will discuss and agree.
Coming from a training and IT-based background, I qualified as an English Language Teacher with a CertTESOL from Trinity College, London, in 2013. I started teaching immediately after and have since delivered over 10,000 hours of English Language lessons to hundreds of students worldwide. Having started teaching in an international English Language School in London, I moved to Malta – where I now live with my wife and pets. I first taught face-to-face in classrooms but started teaching online in 2018 to reach a broader range of language learners.

With the advent of Coronavirus, the school where I worked closed down, so I continued teaching online to teenage and adult learners.

General English
These lessons and courses are designed to meet your personal needs through Communicative Language Teaching. This approach emphasizes the student’s ability to communicate in real-life contexts, and students learn to make requests, accept offers, explain things, and express their feelings and preferences. In addition, focus on skills, such as Grammar, Vocabulary and Pronunciation, is covered through Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing methods. I work with age-appropriate materials accredited by Oxford University Press and Cambridge English. Click here for more details or here to book lessons.

English for management, marketing, and finance, etc. These courses include Business Writing, Job Interviews, Presentations, Technical documentation, Reports, Contracts, Informal Communication, Conferences, Business Trips, and Business Meetings. If there’s anything else you need help with, please ask or book directly.

With a focus on providing tailored English language courses to both groups and individuals, I have successfully guided students in preparation for IELTS and Cambridge English exams. Alongside my proficiency in teaching Business English and General English, I have also had the opportunity to tutor groups of Master's Degree candidates at the University of Malta. Additionally, I have been delivering English language courses for international business services. While I have predominantly taught online since 2018, I possess decades of technical teaching ability and experience.

Throughout my teaching career, I have witnessed the transformative power of effective communication and language skills. As a good listener and communicator, I pride myself on creating an enjoyable class environment where students feel encouraged to engage actively in their learning. By employing innovative teaching methods and leveraging technology, I strive to foster an interactive and collaborative learning experience that caters to the unique needs and goals of each student.

Furthermore, I hold a CertTESOL certificate, which equips me with the necessary tools to excel in teaching English as a second language. Although I do not possess a university degree in the field, my extensive teaching experience and commitment to professional development have allowed me to cultivate a deep understanding of language acquisition and instructional strategies.With a focus on providing tailored English language courses to both groups and individuals, I have successfully guided students in preparation for IELTS and Cambridge English exams.

With a passion for teaching and vast experience in making online classes entertaining, I am excited about the opportunity to teach you in this class.

As a teacher, I have experiences in creating engaging online classroom activities. My systematic approach to development allows me to easily adapt to students need and establish the learning experience needed for the individual student. For instance, where some students very much enjoy a more rigid, book-based experience, others prefer the same class given with a PowerPoint style class.
I am comfortable working in a remote position and understand the importance of student evaluation, especially for those who are online. I am flexible and available to attend relevant team meetings, when required. This includes taking time outside of the working hours to correct any homework, or address questions students might have.
Thank you for considering my application. I am eager to bring my skills, enthusiasm, and collaborative spirit to you and contribute to the success of your English.

English is the most widely known language across the world and is frequently used for international communication. That's why it's incredibly important and maybe even necessary to master the language. On top of that can it be very helpful to know English when looking for a job, applying for a course or degree program, or starting up a business. Being able to understand and speak English is often considered a pro, if not a requirement.

During this course I can help you prepare for your English test. We can practice together. In this course you can expect to learn and practice a few things:
- reading strategies that will help you find answers in a text
- listening strategies that will help you understand the conversations during the test
- grammar that will help you improve listening and reading
- the keys to writing a good essay during your test
- vocabulary to be able to understand and answer questions on the test

During the classes I will provide you with online materials. I can also give you homework that you can make and which I will check for you. After I check it we will discuss the wrong answers and focus on improving.

My classes are focused on YOU and your goal. That's why my teaching strategy will be based on your learning preferences and knowledge. If you are a visual thinker I will provide you with visualization to make the learning process easier. If you struggle at only a certain part of the test, we can focus on that part alone.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
