I specialise in Conversational Fluency, practical Business English, Test Preparation and Cultural Insights, helping students sound more natural and professional. Whether for Business, Travel, Daily Life, or an Exam like IELTS, I will help you speak English confidently in real-life situations!
With degrees in International Business and International Relations and almost a decade of experience living across Europe, Asia and Latin America, visiting over 40 countries in the process, I blend language learning with global perspectives.

In our lessons, My aim is for you to talk for around 70% of the time, and me for 30% of the time. This is the best way to learn a new language, according to scientific research!
It's important for me to have fun, as well as productive lessons. To do this, the lessons start with a short 'free conversation' for 5–10 minutes to check your English 'for daily life'. Then, a 'warm-up game' for around 10 minutes, which usually focus on 'collocations' - which are crucial to speaking English more naturally.
After that, we will move on to the main part of the lesson, whether that be more structured conversation practice, reading and discussing articles, test preparation, or working with a textbook. Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
I am happy to teach you English in a way that suits you!
I have lots of experience speaking with people from all over the world, and specialise in conversation & discussion based learning, in addition to academic & Business English.
To improve conversational English, I also have many exercises that work directly on becoming a confident and fluent English speaker.
I have also helped many students on Italki prepare for exams such as IELTS, TOEFL, CFE, CAE and CPE, and really enjoy helping students pass such exams.
I can even send you a textbook for free, or set homework tasks for you.
It's all up to you! Book a trial lesson or send me a message if you would like to know anything else.Mijn lesmateriaal

It’s been over 2 years now that I’ve been having lessons with Stephen. After moving to the U.S., I realized how much I needed regular English practice, and I’ve been lucky to learn from him. After so many sessions, I can confidently say that Stephen is one of the most experienced and intelligent teachers I’ve ever met.
His ability to adapt to any topic we discuss and to fact-check things right during the lesson amazes me every single time and that’s what I appreciate most. Stephen constantly upgrades his knowledge with and for every student. I’m sure he can find a way to keep anyone engaged and curious!

Stephen is a great teacher and has helped me so much over the last few years to upgrade my English from an elementary to intermediate level. Even though I still sometimes speak in 'broken English', Stephen somehow always finds a way to understand what I am trying to say and to helps me to express myself in English more or less how I would in my native language. Besides improving my English, Stephen has also always been an inspiration to me, and has taught me many things relating to subjects such as health, fitness, nutrition, culture and more. Stephen's lessons are challenging but it's worth it!
Thank you so much 🙏😄🌈

Stephen is a tremendous teacher - a few years ago I sought advice on a tricky Business English question from several professional teachers, but Stephen was the only one competent to clarify that. Since then, he has become my go-to teacher. He is extraordinarily knowledgeable about vocabulary, and he tailors the class in a structured but flexible way. He is also very smart and philosophical - it has always been inspiring having intriguing and thought provoking discussions with him. Thanks a lot, Stephen!
