Hey everyone! I’m Gavin, a native English speaker from Vancouver, Canada. I am currently completing my bachelors degree in English and also have my TEFL certification.
I love learning languages and helping others reach their language learning goals. I speak English, Spanish and Portuguese fluently and am still learning French. So I completely understand what it is like to learn another language!
Apart from language learning, I am really passionate about travelling, learning about different cultures, fitness, art and much more!
If you have any questions or any doubts please feel free to send me a message!
As someone who understands what it’s like to learn a new language, I’m very patient and empathetic. I believe in creating a relaxed environment where you can feel comfortable making mistakes and practicing without fear. My goal is to help you build your confidence while improving your skills, no matter your level.
My teaching style is laid-back and friendly. I believe learning should happen in a comfortable space where you can feel at ease, make mistakes, and grow without pressure. In our lessons, we’ll focus on improving your speaking, pronunciation, accent, vocabulary, and grammar, whatever you need to feel more confident and natural in conversation.

Gavin is an excellent teacher who creates a relaxed and welcoming environment where speaking English feels natural and enjoyable. Since he also speaks other languages, he truly understands the challenges of language learning and knows how to make students feel comfortable and confident during conversations.
He keeps the conversation flowing with interesting topics and provides constructive corrections. His classes feel like a great conversation where you can improve naturally while having a really positive learning experience.
Time always goes by so quickly during his classes! I highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their English in a friendly, motivating, and comfortable atmosphere.
