My name is Fred and I've taught English in England, Australia and Italy. I have extensive experience at teaching examination classes such as IELTS & CAE, and as a former corporate employee I am very comfortable with Business English.
In addition, I founded Mr Vocab, a website for students studying English as a foreign language. Mr Vocab has books, games, video courses and a new podcast! Mr Vocab reflects my passion for teaching phrasal verbs, idioms and descriptive adjectives.

Me as a Teacher
As a teacher I enjoy the satisfaction of making a real impact in the lives of my students. Watching a student retain information is very rewarding, and knowing that I have the opportunity to help them enhance their career or life is a strong source of motivation.
When it comes to the CAE or IELTS Exam, I'm particularly proud of my strategies which I'm convinced can earn students additional points and GUARANTEE success!
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons will depend on your requirements. I offer exam preparation, general English and slightly alternative classes such as idioms or informal conversation. I would describe my teaching style as relaxed but well organised. If you would describe yourself as quite a 'serious' person, then you might not enjoy working with me. My priority is to make your lessons engaging. If you feel bored, then I have failed!

Teacher’s pick
Fred è un insegnante di inglese straordinario che ho avuto il piacere di frequentare per oltre tre anni. La sua puntualità, combinata con la sua capacità di mettermi a mio agio durante le lezioni, ha reso l'esperienza di apprendimento estremamente piacevole. Fred è un grande ascoltatore e incoraggia attivamente la partecipazione degli studenti, offrendo correzioni mirate quando necessario. Grazie alle sue lezioni personalizzate e alla sua competenza, il mio inglese ha fatto passi da gigante nel corso degli anni. Consiglio vivamente Fred a chiunque cerchi un insegnante di inglese altamente qualificato e dedicato.

Fred is an amazing teacher! You feel like all of his teaching experience is put together in a single purpose of making you get the most of your lesson. I'd had very high expectations of the lesson and Fred exceeded them all. Thanks!
