Freddie is one of the best teachers I have ever met in Italki. In each class, he is well-prepared, and he creates his own teaching materials to suit specific needs. Today, he identified areas for improvement in my essay by highlighting using different colors. The discussion was specific, to the point, providing a clear objective. If you are looking for a true professional, Freddie is definitely a teacher you can't miss.

The Conversation Club lessons with topics about British culture have been really exciting and interesting so far. I would definitely recommend these lessons if you want to learn more about British culture and have a very nice chat about it.

Highly recommend Freddie’s courses. He’s patient and well prepared. He knows what I need exactly to improve my English skills and give me valuable suggestions. I’m excited to discuss the “big ideas” with Freddie. I learn lots of new words during the lesson.😀

Freddie is an excellent teacher. I reached out to him to help me prepare a presentation for a public exam, and it was a total success. He gives very practical, valuable advice and pays attention to details that many other teachers overlook. Highly recommended for those who already have a good level of English but are looking to perfect it. Thanks, Freddie!
