Über mich

Hello there! I’m Freddie; an award-winning educator, university lecturer, and founder of FoL English, with over 15 years’ experience teaching and examining across 10 countries.
I am a Convenor and Director of Studies at a British university and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA). My qualifications include a degree in Philosophy, PGCE (QTS), MA TESOL (Distinction), and Cambridge Certificate in Teaching English Online, alongside a British Council Commendation and a Mentor of the Year award.
My interests range from philosophy, politics, history, business, economics, AI, and tech to travel, tea, TV, and strategy games — and I’m comfortable discussing virtually any topic.Ich als Lehrkraft
I specialise in intermediate to advanced learners (B1–C2+) who feel their English has plateaued and want to move decisively to the next level.
My students include professionals and executives, entrepreneurs, undergraduate and postgraduate students, exam candidates, young learners (13+), and English teachers.
I help learners refine how they communicate — with greater precision, fluency, and confidence — whether for an urgent presentation or interview, or for long-term academic, professional, or exam success.
Please note:
- 24 hours’ notice required to cancel/reschedule.
- First lessons will be treated as a trial.
- Zoom is preferred.
- Availability varies in line with my university job. Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I teach primarily through original, interactive PowerPoint courses that you won’t find anywhere else. Better yet, all materials are provided for you.
My lessons go well beyond everyday small talk, engaging instead with abstract and intellectually demanding topics appropriate for the highest levels of English.
Every class concludes with a detailed PDF containing personalised corrections and feedback. Optional homework is available on request.
My teaching style is friendly, positive, and supportive, while appropriately challenging — with the occasional British joke along the way.Mein Unterrichtsmaterial

I can confidently recommend Freddy as a teacher. All lessons with him are conducted in a very friendly and comfortable atmosphere. During each lesson, I receive a great deal of new information that is very useful for everyday life. After each lesson I recieve detailed feedback with recommendations for improvement.

Freddie is one of the best teachers I have ever met in Italki. In each class, he is well-prepared, and he creates his own teaching materials to suit specific needs. Today, he identified areas for improvement in my essay by highlighting using different colors. The discussion was specific, to the point, providing a clear objective. If you are looking for a true professional, Freddie is definitely a teacher you can't miss.

Highly recommend Freddie’s courses. He’s patient and well prepared. He knows what I need exactly to improve my English skills and give me valuable suggestions. I’m excited to discuss the “big ideas” with Freddie. I learn lots of new words during the lesson.😀

The Conversation Club lessons with topics about British culture have been really exciting and interesting so far. I would definitely recommend these lessons if you want to learn more about British culture and have a very nice chat about it.
