Hello!

Hello, I would love to help you with your English study needs. I have over 9 years online teaching experience, assisting students from over 160 countries worldwide. I have also helped 10 000 + students achieve their dreams and goals while studying English. I am kind and helpful in the classroom and adapt lessons to suit my students needs and English level. I really enjoy building confidence and skill with every lesson in a fun way. I use a wide variety of interactive online materials to assist with understanding and further studies or homework as needed by students. What do you struggle with and what do you want to focus on in your studies? I can assist you with learning the 4 skills of Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking. Or, Test Prep such as IELTS and TOEIC. Or if you need to study Business English we can do that to. Anything you want. I enjoy teaching Idioms, pronunciation, grammar etc. Together we can discover new and interesting vocabulary and phrases while having great conversations or reading interesting articles. I enjoy meeting new people, learning about new cultures and anything else of interest such as movies, series, music, food and travel. What is your current English level? What do you struggle with the most? How many lessons do you require per week? Do you want homework assignments? The more you tell me the better I can adapt to your needs. Feel free to book a lesson with me and see for yourself, you will be pleasantly surprised. Enjoy the rest of your day and look forward to meeting you soon. Kind Regards, William Black

I lead an active lifestyle and enjoy many activities such as hiking, camping, mountain biking and swimming for all round fitness. I have studied various forms of martial arts and am a keen bonsai enthusiast. For the last twenty years I have been working in the construction industry and gained many hands on skills like plumbing, woodwork, painting and all round building skills. I enjoy watching new movies and I am fascinated by the pyramids. I also love to travel and meet new people. I am an empathetic listener with worldly advice.

Teaching Style

Interesting and thought provoking discussions. Fun and Educational. Kind and supportive tutor. I will build your Confidence and English skill with every lesson. I like to mix my lessons up, sometimes I use online material and sometimes we focus on conversation practice or pronunciation etc. I like to adapt the lesson content to suit the students level and needs. However, I find it good practice to push students beyond their comfort zone. I also don't enjoy teaching students who have their camera off as I need to see the students facial expressions to gauge their responses and understanding.
