Hi, I’m Nicholas, a native English speaker from London.
I help students improve their confidence and speak naturally in real conversations, while also sharing useful insights into British culture and everyday language.
I have a genuine passion for languages, history, and different cultures, and I love learning about the world through the people I meet. As a language learner myself, I understand the challenges of learning a new language, so my lessons are patient, practical, and tailored to your goals.
If you’re looking to build confidence and improve your English in a relaxed and supportive environment, feel free to book a lesson — I’d be happy to help.
Me as a Teacher
I hold a BA in Modern Languages (Academic English and Spanish), along with a TEFL certification and a Business English accreditation from The TEFL Academy.
As a dedicated language learner myself, I have developed a strong understanding of how people learn effectively. This allows me to relate to the challenges students face and adapt my teaching to suit different learning styles.
My lessons are clear, practical, and interactive, with a focus on real progress. Everything is tailored to your goals, helping you stay motivated and build confidence over time.
My lessons & teaching style
I offer lessons tailored to all levels and goals. With over 1,500 classes taught, I understand how to help students achieve real progress.
Lesson types:
• Conversational practice – build fluency and confidence through natural discussion
• Business English – improve communication for calls, emails, meetings, and more
• Essay correction – choose between a live lesson (review together for deeper understanding) or offline correction (written feedback and suggestions)

I have been studying with Nicholas for more than a year now and it appeared to be one of the most productive and pleasant experiences. To be fair I already started with a decent English level so I was searching for a talking practice to sharpen my skills. What is better for speaking practice than a well-read teacher with a broad mind and who also is genuinely interested and cares about interlocutor's opinion, mindset and experience? Nicholas has all of these qualities. Learning English with him turned from a necesity and obligation to thought-provoking and at the same time fun discussions. I did not only get a perfect teacher from these lessons but also a good friend with whom I am not afraid to speak up. Thank you, Nicholas, for standing behind my level of speaking English and also behind some of my life-changing decisions!

It was the customary amazing conversation with Nicholas. It was supposed to be a time devoted to study instead it was, as always, a big fun! As always when I speak with Nicholas I forgot to be speaking English and I simply enjoyed the interesting topics we were debating. Perfect!
