CELTA-Certified English Teacher | Exam Expert | 18 Years’ Experience
I’m a professional English teacher from Ireland, living in Bulgaria.
I have been teaching English professionally for 18 years and have helped hundreds of students improve their confidence, fluency, and exam performance. I am also the owner of an English school in Bulgaria and a published author of two books on the Cambridge Advanced (CAE) exam.
I specialize in:
IELTS
CAE / FCE
SAT
GMAT
Speaking confidence
Advanced grammar and writing
Conversational English
My lessons are structured, communicative, and supportive. I focus on helping students speak naturally, understand English deeply, and make measurable progress.
Whether you are preparing for an important exam, improving your professional English, or simply becoming a more confident speaker, I will create lessons tailored to your goals and learning style.
Students often describe my teaching style as:
patient
encouraging
interesting
engaging
I believe learning English should feel challenging in a productive way — but never intimidating.
I look forward to helping you achieve your English goals.Il mio materiale didattico

Esperienza d'insegnamento
2020 - Corrente
Teacher of EnglishAs the directors of a successful language school which catered for more than 250 students, my wife and I realised at one point that we were not doing the job we loved anymore. We were spending most of our time dealing with staff problems, timetables, and accountants. We were not teachers. We had become businesspeople. So we sold the school and went back to our roots. Now, I work with individual students and small groups, online and in person.

La scelta dell'insegnante
I decided to take CAE exam and Darren helped me prepare for it. Our lessons were really helpful and interesting.
I've just finished my exam and I feel that I did well. Especially the writing and the speaking parts. Thank you!
I recommend him as a teacher for everyone who wants to take any exam or just to improve their English.
P.S. Thank you for the recommendations on spelling ("I see two mountains", "One coffee, two sugars" REALLY HELPFUL, I finally remembered how to spell these words, after so many years of learning English 😂 )

One word describes this teacher: competent.
If you are really looking for someone to help, assist and support you in your journey with improving your English or preparing for an English exam, then Darren is definitely the teacher to choose! Not only is he friendly, knowledgeable and has a long experience in teaching english but he also did work as CAE exam instructor which means he knows exactly what you need if you are considering the CAE or similar exam. Thank you Darren, it was a pleasure having you as a teacher!

Darren is always polite and diligent. He is the teacher all of us would have loved to have when we were in middle and high school. Bear in mind that this doesn't mean his knowledge is at the level of a high school teacher; it goes far beyond.
