About Me
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.
