About Me
italki teacher since Jan 14, 2020InterestsWritingArtReadingHistoryBusiness & Finance
Hi, I’m Lugh, expert English teacher with over 15 years experience helping students master the English language. I'm a former director of studies for an English academy, and a career development and communication coach. I'm here to help you speak clear, confident English — in meetings, interviews, presentations, and everyday professional conversations.
I’m also a writer and poet, a yogi, an entrepreneur running three different businesses, and a life and business coach. I bring a deep love and understanding of the English language into my teaching, helping students make sense of English and use it with ease. I'm easy-going, well-travelled, and fun to talk with, and love meeting new students!Me as a Teacher
Powerful learning is built on relationships of trust and integrity. I work hard to get to know my students, to find what works for them, and what creative learning is going to provide inspirational English classes. I'm here to take the stress out of learning and help you reach your learning goals.
As your coach, my style is supportive, relaxed, flexible, and tailored to maximise the return on your time and investment. Expect fun, dynamic, conversation-based sessions focused on real-world practice, making mistakes and learning from them.

Integrated Life & Language Learning.
The most efficient learning happens when you're working at your edge and pursuing the skills and knowledge that are most relevant. My unique approach combines life and language learning in one method, creating lessons that are immersive, REAL, and far from any boring text book approaches you may have tried.
We’ll work together to craft a learning plan that suits your style, with regular progress tracking to make sure you’re always moving forward. Providing personalized audio files, in-depth feedback, correction drills, and study materials tailored to your exact needs — I know what it really takes to achieve an advanced, fluent English.My teaching material

I have been taking classes with Lou for a year now. My English level has been improving a lot. I'm lucky to work in a multi-national environment. Therefore, English is essential for me to thrive and grow professionally. Lou is not only an English teacher, he is also inspiring me to continuously glow and develop my skills. I regularly bring him different challenges I face at work, he always addresses them precisely. We then discuss how to better solve them which has been incredibly valuable for my professional development.
