Über mich

Hi! I'm Carl, 41. I love teaching and travelling and I've been doing both for over 10 years now. I've lived in Azerbaijan, Timor-Leste, Saudi Arabia, Germany, Lebanon and Mexico and I taught professionally in all those countries, as well as at home in the UK. I've also visited over 40 countries worldwide. Currently I'm trying to improve my Spanish and German language skills. I love to converse about all topics, especially language, history, culture, sports and politics. I like to keep active and enjoy hiking and cycling when I have time. I can tell you a lot about British culture and what makes British people tick! I look forward to meeting you!Ich als Lehrkraft
I have a wide range of teaching experience- I especially enjoy goals-focused lessons such as exams. I have over 15 years' experience in planning and delivering IELTS and Cambridge exam classes. I have worked for prestigious universities in both the UK and overseas. I can give you the confidence you need! I particularly enjoy explaining difficult grammar and pronunciation problems, and I love to be challenged in this area. I can help you with functional language and conversational fluency. I can also help you with the difference between different dialects and accents, and I can explain to you just why it is sometimes just so DIFFICULT to understand what native speakers are saying. Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I have a real passion for this job - one of the reasons I have been doing it for over ten years. I believe my teaching style relies on giving the student the confidence to realise they can open the doors themselves. I strongly believe that the key to helping students is to give them the confidence, rather than just explaining how things work. I believe a strong personality and a good sense of humour is key to any lesson, and I love to have a good rapport with all my students. I love being challenged with difficult questions, and I believe that a teacher should be approachable and flexible, and willing to go the extra mile to satisfy any question asked.Mein Unterrichtsmaterial

I have completed over 120 English lessons with Carl and the experience has been excellent. Our lessons are highly conversational, covering a wide range of topics, which makes learning both engaging and practical.
Carl is professional, patient, and attentive, and he always corrects me when I make mistakes, providing clear guidance and constructive feedback. The lessons are well-structured yet flexible, allowing for natural conversation while steadily improving my fluency and confidence in English.
After more than 120 lessons, I can confidently say that studying English with Carl has been both effective and enjoyable. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a friendly, professional and dynamic learning experience

I have been having English lessons with Carl for more than a year on a regular weekly basis.
I am extremely satisfied with his methods. Most of the time, half of the lesson consists of an interesting talk about various topics, including British culture, different accents, comedy, films, and travel. He always corrects or suggests a better alternative in order to sound better.
Another half of the lesson is doing real tests together - his input is very helpful. He always explains right away if something is needed. Most importantly, we also had a few lessons related to phonetics and accents. It was very interesting to know how native speakers speak and what sounds are produced in their regular speech.
I can recommend Carl to every English learner. He is a professional teacher with tremendous experience in helping to improve English on every level.
