Think critically and independently

Apply logic and sound reasoning correctly

Expert Instruction in Logic and Rhetoric

I am the author of three books on logic, truth, reasoning, and rhetoric (the art of effective language) and have taught these skills to both students and adults for many years. I am also one of the few educators worldwide to have written a book on the Trivium system, a classical education model that integrates Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric to develop wise, articulate, and effective thinkers.

Focus on Thinking Skills (Not Just English)

These lessons do not focus directly on English language instruction. Instead, they focus on improving your thinking skills at a fundamental level—which naturally strengthens your reading, writing, and speaking abilities in English as well.

Learning Methods Used

We develop critical thinking skills using proven methods such as:

Structured debates

Socratic questioning and reasoning

Philosophical discussions

Critical reading and text analysis

Writing and analysing logical arguments

And more

Start Thinking Better from Day One

I am also one of the few people in the world who has written a book on the Trivium system which is the classical learning model which combines Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric to produce a wise and effective thinker.

These classes will not focus directly on your English, but will focus on your thinking skills directly (which will also be very good practice for your English learning).

There are multiple ways that we can approach critical thinking, through methods like:
- Debates,
- Socratic Reasoning,

The certificate required 160 hours of commitment, training and six hours of teaching practice to prepare us to teach English as a second language.

I had to take an online course for this IELTS certificate, ranging from reading, writing, speaking etc. Each unit had a test at the end which I successfully completed. It should help equip students for their exam, those who want to move to the Western countries, either to study or to find a job.

Through this experience I now know how to handle students at different levels. I know how to work with beginners, intermediate and advanced students. I know which task to assign to which students.

This trial lesson is to get to know each other and how we can move forward to help you with your English. We will also find out a way for you to learn that will be enjoyable while making good progress.

After reading, we use guided discussion prompts to help you speak clearly, confidently, and spontaneously.

I’ve lived in Italy, Argentina, and the U.S., so I understand how language and culture interact.

This lesson is relaxed, friendly, and perfect for beginners to intermediate students who just want to speak without fear and enjoy the process.

Speak English with Confidence - Guided Conversation

This lesson is designed specifically for Italian speakers who want to speak clearer, faster, and more natural English. Because I lived in Italy, Rome and Codogno specifically, and speak Italian (B2), I fully understand the typical challenges Italians face - pronunciation, verb tenses, intonation, prepositions, and the “Italian rhythm” that often transfers into English. Here, we fix those problems one by one.

What we work on:
• Pronunciation of difficult sounds: TH, short vowels, R, H, word stress, ED-endings

• Grammar Italians struggle with: present perfect, modal verbs, phrasal verbs, articles, prepositions

Common Mistakes we will work on and correct:
• Overusing the present tense
• Translating word-for-word (“make a photo,” “I have 20 years”)
• Trouble with silent letters (walk, talk, could, should)
• Difficulty hearing reduced sounds in fast English

I'll give you clear explanations in English or Italian when needed, and provide practice exercises, recordings, PDF materials, and pronunciation drills.

Perfect for: A1–B2 Italian learners who want fast progress, better pronunciation, and more natural conversation. 

You will speak more confidently, understand native speakers better, and finally feel comfortable using real English.

After teaching many Korean, Japanese, and Chinese students, I fully understand the unique pronunciation challenges, rhythm differences, and grammar patterns that make English difficult - and I help you fix them step by step.

What we focus on:
• R / L distinction (precise tongue placement & muscle training)
• Short vs. long vowels (ship/sheep, bit/beat, full/fool)
• Final consonants and consonant clusters
• TH sounds (voiced & voiceless)
• Stress timing vs. syllable timing
• Natural American intonation
• Linking & reductions (“gonna, wanna, lemme, didn’tcha”)
• Clear, confident speaking without hesitation
• Fast-English listening — understanding native speakers

My method:
I use short articles I create about topics students enjoy: travel, culture, lifestyle, everyday problems, slang, modern expressions, and real American communication. These articles naturally include new vocabulary, phrasal verbs, expressions, and pronunciation challenges. After reading, we practice speaking, repeat key phrases, shadow native patterns, and use guided discussion prompts.

We also simulate real-life situations:
• ordering food
• small talk
• workplace communication
• social interactions
• asking for help or clarification
• reacting quickly in conversation

You will learn:
• to speak more smoothly and confidently
• to understand fast native English
• to reduce your accent and build clear pronunciation
• to use natural expressions instead of textbook phrases
• to think in English instead of translating

Perfect for A2–C1 students who want practical, modern English that actually improves fluency and confidence in real situations.

English for Korean, Chinese, Japanese Speakers – Clear Pronunciation, Fluency & Natural Speaking 🇰🇷🇨🇳🇯🇵

This lesson is designed for students who want to sound more natural, fluent, and confident using the English that real Americans speak in daily life — not the stiff, formal English taught in textbooks. We focus on the expressions, slang, phrasal verbs, rhythm, and fast speech patterns that you will hear from native speakers on the streets of the USA, especially around New Jersey and New York.

What you will learn:
• Everyday phrasal verbs used constantly by Americans
• Common expressions for daily life, work, travel, friendships, and emotions
• Useful slang (modern, safe, and practical — nothing “useless”)
• Fast-English reductions (“gimme, lemme, shoulda, gonna”)
• Linking & connected speech
• Natural American rhythm, tone, and conversational flow
• How to understand fast native speakers more easily
• How to express yourself more freely and naturally

My method:
Many lessons use short articles I write based on real-life topics: travel, culture, funny stories, daily routines, problems, opinions, or situations you will actually experience in the United States. These articles include phrasal verbs, idioms, slang, and expressions in context — the BEST way to learn natural English.

After reading, we use guided discussions, pronunciation practice, and short role-plays to help you speak more naturally. You’ll learn when expressions are formal, casual, friendly, humorous, or very American.

You will practice:
• sounding confident in everyday situations
• speaking faster and more smoothly
• listening to real American speech
• choosing the right expression for the right moment
• avoiding awkward or unnatural phrasing
• understanding NJ/NY style English (my region)

Perfect for A2–C2 learners — travelers, young adults, professionals, and anyone who wants REAL English that native speakers use every single day.

This lesson makes your English modern, expressive, and truly alive.

Speak Real English: Phrasal Verbs, Expressions, Slang & Fast Natural Speech

In a fast-paced work environment, you need to get your point across quickly and effectively. This lesson focuses on the mechanics of a clear American accent combined with the communication systems used by top professionals to lead with authority.

The American Accent & Rhythm: We master the mechanical sounds (the American R, Flap T, and vowel reductions) and the "Stress-Timed" rhythm of US speech. This ensures you are never asked to repeat yourself in a meeting.

Strategic Communication Methods: We practice the "Sandwich Method" for delivering difficult feedback, the "BLUF" system (Bottom Line Up Front) for emails, and the art of "Hedging" to maintain diplomacy.

Action Verbs & Phrasal Verbs: We replace weak language with high-impact "Power Verbs" (spearheading, leveraging, optimizing) and the essential business phrasal verbs (circle back, touch base, run by) that native speakers use daily.

Cultural Context (Low-Context Logic): I teach you how to bridge the gap between European/Latin business styles and the direct, time-sensitive culture of American corporate environments.

Industry Simulations: We use role-plays based on your actual job.

The System: 
The Speech Audit: We identify the specific sounds and patterns holding back your clarity.

The Drill & Execute Flow: 20 minutes of pronunciation mechanics followed by 40 minutes of high-stakes business role-play.

The "Meeting Minutes" Feedback: After every session, you receive a professional feedback document containing your pronunciation "corrections" and strategic communication notes.

Practice conversational English with a native speaker by discussing a wide range of topics. This could be something of particular interest to the student, a recent event that made national or international news or an issue affecting wider society. The purpose of a conversation class is to build each student's confidence in speaking and listening in English, whilst sharing some of their ideas and opinions with the tutor. The tutor will give language tips and ideas throughout, correcting any significant grammatical  and pronunciation errors and suggesting good choices of vocabulary.
