About Me
italki teacher since Oct 21, 2021InterestsEnvironment & NatureBusiness & FinanceTravelScienceHistory
Specializing in academic and professional English, I help learners like you gain fluency and confidence—whether for careers, studies, or global connections. With 20 years of TESOL experience and fluency in Spanish, I bridge language and culture passionately.
Beyond teaching, I’m a travel and history enthusiast who thrives on exchanging stories. Let’s tailor your learning to *your* goals, so you communicate effectively—today and beyond!"Me as a Teacher
I draw upon a diverse range of professional and academic backgrounds including in languages, international development, political science, international relations, compliance and corruption studies, security and agriculture.
It doesn’t matter what your background is or your personal reason for learning a language, whether it is a professional or business interest, political or diplomatic, or just a personal interest or ambition.
I will listen to you in order to understand your goals, experiences and your personal circumstances, and I will advise you on how best to approach your goals, how to achieve them successfully, and what practical steps you can take.My lessons & teaching style
Learning a language means embracing it and making it your own. Experts and research into second language acquisition tell us that we can only learn languages through meaningful use, not memorisation and repetition!
My lessons focus much more on real communication. Languages are made for talking so I place conversation at the heart of my lessons. Over time you will build up your confidence and achieve fluency and proficiency in English.
I can also provide Interview Preparation, offering both general advice and practice with a range of questions, from the basic and general, to role or industry specific questions and behavioural questions which test your soft skills.My teaching material

Robert helped me with my Internship Interview Preparation and gave me advice in order to improve my speech. He has been very kind, professional and highly useful. He also gave me the confidence I need to face my interview.

Robert is a fantastic teacher. I am very happy with the classes because I'm noticing that my confidence and fluency is improving faster than I thought. What I like the most is that his classes keeps me motivated to practice English even on my own.

La séance d'essai avec Robert s'est très bien déroulée. Il était à l'écoute, me laissait le temps de parler et de répondre sans m'interrompre. Il a pris le temps de m'expliquer la facon dont il concoit l'apprentissage des langues et nous avons pu échanger fluidement. C'était très agréable!
