Your English is good enough to read this. But maybe you still freeze when talking to native speakers, hesitate in meetings, or write emails that don't quite sound like you. Together, we work on the gap between what you can do and what you want to do.
I'm an English coach for adults. Trained journalist by background, with more than ten years of professional editing experience. I've taught 3,000+ classes on italki to working professionals, university students, immigrants, and serious independent learners. Qualified Specialist in both Business English and Test Preparation.
Most of my work is spoken English coaching: conversation, fluency, pronunciation, presentations, meetings, interviews, and accent. I also coach IELTS, TOEFL, and Cambridge English candidates. Neutral American accent. Levels A2 through C2.
What makes the work different: after every class, I send you a personalized review document. Built from what we worked on, your level, your goals, and your real interests — vocabulary in context, exercises on your specific patterns, examples from your life. This is the editorial work most learners never actually get.
Adults only. Based in Mexico. Outside of class: music, food, history, travel — happy to use these as conversation topics if they interest you.
Podemos usar el español como apoyo.
A gente pode usar o português como apoio.
Book a trial — tell me what you're trying to do in English that you can't do yet. We'll start there.

Keuze van de leerkracht
I have been taking classes with Nick for a month, and although I don’t have much time to dedicate to it, I feel like I’m really improving. Nick is very patient, and the fact that he is also learning and speaking foreign languages has been a clear advantage. I highly recommend working on your English with him.

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.

I enjoy my lessons with Nick. We talk and discuss interesting topics. Nick is a very calm, kind, and knowledgeable person.
He also has a lesson plan with an interesting topic, including exercises, reading, listening, and sometimes grammar.
I really like my lessons with Nick and recommend him.

If you’re looking for a great conversation with an intelligent and comforting person, Nick is definitely the right choice. He is an engaging and encouraging teacher, and lessons with him are always a lot of fun. I can feel so much progress in my English, and I’m becoming a much more confident speaker. Thank you, Nick—I really appreciate you!
