About Me

Hi! My name is Roman and I want to help you learn English and Spanish! I am half English and half Mexican, and I specialise in Accent Reduction and Interview Preparation. If you want to lose your accent, prepare for an upcoming job interview, or increase your fluency, then I am the teacher for you!
I am a graduate of the University of Bristol in the UK, where I studied Russian, Spanish, Czech and Linguistics, specialising in Phonetics and Phonology. I have been teaching English, Spanish and French for 6 years, in the UK, Russia and Spain. I currently work as a Cyber Threat Intelligence Analyst for a global company, and use many languages everyday. All together, I know about 15 languages.Me as a Teacher
My background in linguistics, particularly phonetics, allows me to specialise in pronunciation, and the many languages I speak will allow me to understand why you make certain mistakes, and so it will be easier for me to help you correct them. I also have experience in speech therapy, as my younger brother is deaf and verbally dyspraxic, and this helps tremendously with teaching pronunciation. I believe these abilities put me in an excellent position to help you sound like a native speaker.
My style is relaxed but attentive, and I aim to get you speaking as much as possible. You do not need to prepare anything for the lessons (unless you want to), I will always have questions for you!My lessons & teaching style
I offer personalised lessons and can adapt my classes to your needs, whatever your level or language goals. I’m aware that everyone learns differently, and so I can vary my teaching approach to best suit you. I'm very friendly and chatty, so don't worry if you are shy! I specialise in:
- Accent reduction (British English, European, Mexican and Argentinian Spanish)
- Intonation correction
- Job interview preparation
- CV correction
- Focused conversation
- Introduction to Linguistics
My other interests include travel, music (I play the drums), skateboarding, literature, tattoos and sport, but really I just love to talk! So go on, book a lesson with me and let's learn languages together!My teaching material

The best accent teacher ever! lessons with Roman are always very practical, meticulous and precise. He doesn't give up easily until I pronounce something properly. Thanks for being patient! :)

I don't mean this lightly, Roman is phenomenal. His command of grammar is very impressive and he is able to articulate in both English and Spanish complex grammar constructions in a way that makes them very understandable. Not only that, but he is a great conversationalist making classes effortless, which is all the more important when one is struggle-busing their way through a foreign language. It is evident in his classes that he enjoys teaching and he simply makes learning Spanish a fun experience.
