Hi, I'm Paul and I'm a qualified English teacher from England, now based in the UK. I love teaching English to adults, which is why I made it my full-time career. In fact, I am also an avid language learner myself, which explains why I am currently learning Portuguese, German and French. My other interests include psychology, history, personal development , photography
and fitness.
Me as a Teacher
Around 10 years ago, I switched to one-to-one English tutoring and coaching. In this setting, I can identify more clearly individual needs and modify the course accordingly. I always try to strike a balance between enjoyment on the one hand and solid progress on the other.
My lessons & teaching style
In a typical conversation course, for instance, as we have an enjoyable chat based on topics I think you will find interesting, I will monitor your English and make a note of alternative words, collocations and expressions you could have used, issues you have with pronunciation and intonation, as well as any unnatural phrasing or grammar mistakes. We will talk about these issues in the lesson and I will test you regularly on these points in future lessons.

Sono non vedente e, davvero, complimenti all’insegnante: è riuscito a fare una lezione senza supporti visivi, ogni tanto, durante la conversazione, mi fermava e correggeva le cose che sbagliavo. Al termine della lezione mi ha mandato tramite la chat dell’app, un documento in cui erano riportate le correzioni che mi aveva fatto. Davvero bravissimo!!!

I have been studying English with Paul for about a year and now I feel that my language has improved a lot. I was really nervous at the beginning but Paul was patient and supportive, and his impact on my ability to speak English is tremendous.
Thank you Paul! It was a pleasure to take your lessons.

I was lucky to find Paul on italki when I was about to prepare for an English certification exam. Thanks to his help, I was able to overcome the initial struggle and kickoff a steady study routine.
Paul is highly professional and encouraging, and he knows the exam format very well. He guided me patiently through each type of exam question—not only teaching me what to say, but also how to read the questions and spot common traps.
He also gave personalized advice based on my specific weaknesses.
I would highly recommend him to anyone preparing for English exams

Paul is one of the best teachers I’ve ever met on italki. He continues to help me improve my English (~C1-Level). His extensive teaching experience is evident in every lesson. He has a deep understanding of the English language and explains concepts, new words, and phrases in a clear and logical way. I’m glad I found him.
