*Please send me a short message when you book a lesson for the first time*
I am the son of a journalist and a librarian. This means I was raised to have a passion for both discovering new information and helping others find material that is useful and interesting.
I have more than ten years of professional writing and editing experience and have hosted a weekly radio show for the past eight years. This means I can help you make both your written and spoken English sound more accurate and natural.
I live in the Pacific Northwest of the U.S. and love music, comedy, and being in nature. I also love learning languages and sharing strange and interesting stories from real life.

Moi en tant que professeur
I’m a professional English teacher (CELTA certified), language coach, and conversation partner at the same time.
I have taught more than 2,000 classes on italki. My students inspire me to constantly improve as a teacher and learn more about different cultures, languages, and professions.
Becoming “fluent” in a language is a lifelong process. I want to encourage you to enjoy the journey of learning English. It’s a strange and frustrating language, but if you’re focused on topics that you’re passionate about, the process can be much more enjoyable.
Podemos usar el español como apoyo.
A gente pode usar o português como apoio.
PLEASE NOTE:
I currently only work with adults.
Mes leçons et ma méthode d'enseignement
Think for a minute:
What do you want to do in English that you can't do now?
Your goals will determine what our classes look like. More than anything, I want to make sure you have tools to use your skills more confidently in your real life.
I will keep an updated document of words and phrases we learned in class and share it with you after our class. We will use materials that are both relevant and interesting.
I recommend recording our classes and watching the video later. It’s a great way to notice your own strengths and weaknesses, especially if you want to improve your speaking and listening.
If you want me to give you homework, it will probably be writing practice.

I'm very grateful to you for being my teacher. I feel I now have more skills to communicate appropriately. Sometimes I fail, but it's just the beginning of something wonderful for my future.

Another tutorial with Nick. He is always an excellent teacher. I brought a question about my academic manuscript this time. Nick carefully solved it to ensure that it accurately conveyed what I meant. We also talked a lot about China's housing prices. Actually, Nick gave me the opportunity to express myself most of the time. He is a helpful and dependable listener. Thanks, Nick!

Nick has been a fundamental part of my Proficiency/CPE exam preparation. He has helped me to improve my pronunciation and speaking skills. I am so grateful for his patience and our productive and friendly conversations!

I highly recommend Nick!
I've never talked so much during class.
Nick always finds questions and topics that are very interesting for me to talk about.
