About Me
italki teacher since May 7, 2020InterestsMarketingTechHistoryFoodSports & Fitness
From Scotland to London—and beyond! After years in design and real estate, I discovered my passion: helping global professionals speak English naturally, not like a textbook. My travels across Japan, Korea, and the Philippines taught me how languages connect us—and where learners struggle most. Now, I specialise in smoothing accents, refining pronunciation, and ensuring conversations flow smoothly. Let’s turn your English into something that feels uniquely you.Me as a Teacher
My journey as an English teacher began when overseas clients asked me to help them with pronunciation. They told me they’d studied English for years, but had never spoken it with a native speaker.
What started as a casual meetup at a Starbucks café quickly evolved into a weekly class, and that’s where my teaching style was developed.
I specialise in helping students sound natural and confident—like a native speaker. My lessons focus on pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation, using proven techniques to train both the tongue and the brain to overcome common challenges.
If you're ready to improve your spoken English and speak with clarity, let's get started.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons typically begin with a relaxed conversation about what’s happening in your life.
From there, we might look at a short news article or a real-life text to read aloud and discuss. We’ll focus on how it’s presented, written, and spoken—building vocabulary, comprehension, and confidence.
Next, we’ll work on pronunciation: identifying useful phrases or word groups and practising how they flow naturally in connected speech.
A typical session lasts between 40 to 60 minutes, depending on the depth of our conversation.
I can also give you simple exercises or speaking tasks to practise between lessons—designed to help you sound more natural and fluent over time.My teaching material

Ian's advice and techniques changed my speech and my text to sound like a stress-timed English from a robotic syllable-timed Japanese. Many thanks for showing me how to break down text and when to pause and stress some words.

Ian is a fantastic teacher with a wealth of experience. His lessons are incredibly helpful and enlightening. He has identified the areas where I need to improve and has provided me with valuable exercises to practice, which have helped me to gain more confidence in my English language skills. I am very satisfied with his teaching and plan to schedule more classes with him in the future.
