Hi, I’m Paul from Scotland—a certified English teacher with 20 years of experience. I specialise in IELTS/TOEFL prep and natural conversation practice. Love travelling, tech, or science? Let’s make lessons fun!Me as a Teacher
The beauty of private lessons is that they can be adapted to suit your needs. I believe that learning can be enjoyable and that students retain information better when they enjoy learning. However, practise makes perfect so I try to give as much of a chance for you to practise your skills as possible.My lessons & teaching style
I have a great many resources available. A favourite lesson among my current students is a structured speaking lesson revolving around a news article which, like most good conversations, leads to other topics. Many of my current students are studying for the IELTS exam so we also focus on exam practise, but every lesson is different and depends a lot on the student.My teaching material

I've enjoyed this first class with Paul. It was only an introductory class because I wanted to know the possibilities of Italki and the teacher, in order to decide if I'll go on. The answer is yes.
