***I am running a discount for returning students!***
Hi there! I’m Robbie — an English coach with over 4,000 teaching hours and real-world experience in both the medical and tech fields.
Before becoming a full-time teacher, I spent nearly a decade working as a medical assistant and pharmacy technician, and later transitioned into cybersecurity and IT. Because of this unique background, I specialize in helping professionals communicate clearly, naturally, and confidently in high-pressure environments — whether that’s a hospital triage room, a patient consultation, a daily stand-up meeting, or a technical job interview.
Whether you’re preparing for a medical residency, a tech interview, imMe as a Teacher
I’m a patient, friendly, and supportive teacher who believes that learning English should feel comfortable and enjoyable — not stressful. My classes are relaxed, open, and conversation-driven, because I’ve found that students learn best when they feel safe to speak, make mistakes, and be themselves.
I genuinely enjoy talking with my students and getting to know who they are, what they care about, and what motivates them. Whether we’re discussing your job, your hobbies, or the challenges you face at work, I always aim to create a positive environment where you feel heard and encouraged.
At the same time, I’m practical and goal-focused. With my background in IT, cybersecurity, and healthcare My lessons & teaching style
Fun and Engaging
Learning should never feel boring or intimidating. I use real-world examples, practical scenarios, and interactive activities to keep each lesson lively, meaningful, and enjoyable.
Personalized for You
Every student has different goals, challenges, and strengths. I tailor each lesson to your needs — whether you're improving workplace English, preparing for an interview, or developing stronger communication skills. We focus on what matters most to your progress.
Practical & Real-World Communication
My teaching always connects back to real situations you face in IT, healthcare, or professional environments. We practice the language you actually use — explaining ideas, talkinMy teaching material

Robert is an amazing teacher! He helped me a lot not only with my English but also with my job hunting. We did mock interviews, he prepared custom exercises to help me and he gave me great advice to handle difficult moments during the process. He’s very tech-savvy and knows how to help people with coding, tech interviews, or technical communication in general. I learned a lot with him and also found a friend.
Five stars only because I can’t give more.

What I value most in Mr Robert is his ability to create a supportive environment where mistakes are seen as opportunities to learn, not something to fear. This approach not only builds language proficiency but also boosts self-esteem and motivation. His feedback is constructive and encouraging. Highly recommend this teacher for everyone ;)
