About Me
Hi! I am Edward, a CELTA-qualified English tutor from England with 3000+ hours of online teaching experience. I have been teaching classes and coaching professionals for the last seven years, specialising in Business English, coaching for exams and migration and English for Negotiations.
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 objectives.
- Finally, I aim to teach you something in English in the trial lesson that you never knew before!

He is by far the best teacher I’ve ever had. Finally I can proudly say that I’ve made a real breakthrough thanks to his help, support and intelligence approach. I would outline his broad knowledge in every single part of the language, and really love his crystal-clear and flexible way of teaching. With a fun and interactive classes, in which he shows his passion of the language and enthusiasm of live, he carries out a method to help the student to remember words and expand his vocabulary, I can ensure without the slightest doubt that no one will regret the decision to join him.

He is a super-teacher like a teacher version of a superhero. The lessons have always been customized to my needs and after having 35 lessons from him we have still too much to talk about. Edward's emotional intelligence is very high. Therefore he can communicate with his students at every level. He is a culturally multi-layered person and each layer of his background gives you many exciting topics to talk about.
