Über mich

My name is Duncan and I am from England. I have over 25 years experience as a tutor. I aim to be friendly, helpful, calming and organised during your lessons.
Scientific English is my speciality. We can learn English together whilst covering interesting topics such as physics, chemistry and biology.
I studied physics at university and gained a PhD. I became a scientist, then a teacher and then a writer. I now split my time between the three careers.
And so, as a best-selling writer I can also help with writing.
And (in case you need it) I have a structured A1-A2 syllabus (also B1-B2 and C1-C2).Ich als Lehrkraft
I offer "goal oriented" learning, particularly scientific (and engineering) English for school students, university students and professionals. I also offer writing classes (fiction and non-fiction). And we can also just do fun conversation (with the potential for advanced topics such as science and logic if you wish).
I speak a relatively formal English which provides a good model for pronunciation and grammar.
I will always look for the simplest and clearest ways to help you to improve. I can lift you all the way to top C2-level performance.
I prepare before a lesson.
After a lesson I provide clear feedback.
We can make you a personalised learning plan.Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I have science workbooks that we can use in class. I have custom science activities and prompts. I also have a subscription to a service with 10,000s of English books to read, custom grammar exercises and hundreds of conversation prompts.
Regarding my conversational lessons, I find few students actually want a "pure conversational" lesson. Therefore I have complementary grammar, collocation and pronunciation exercises that we can mix in as we chat. Also note that in a conversation lesson I will let you do most of the speaking unless you request otherwise.Mein Unterrichtsmaterial

I practised with Duncan for a PhD interview, and it was a very good experience! He did the role I asked him to do and gave me very good advice. Highly recommended!

After 5 hours of class, Duncan was a great help in giving me confidence in English.
He was also very involved in helping me approach my future job interview.
I highly recommend it.
Again, thank you very much.

Duncan is a passionate and dedicated teacher. I highly recommend him! It was an extremely useful and pleasant learning process. The conversations were enjoyable and thought provoking. His guidance is really helpful. He will provide you with a learning document with explicit explanations and will give you lots of advice on how to improve your language skills. I love our lessons! Thank you, Duncan !

I had an excellent first lesson with Dr. Duncan. He listened patiently to my requirements and questions. His assistance in preparing for the interview has been incredibly helpful. Thanks to his kind support, I feel more confident and motivated in my English conversation skills.
