Hi, I’m Robert—a New Yorker turned global English coach with a tech-savvy edge! My IT career and 11+ years of teaching across three continents (Asia, Europe, Latin America) help me tailor lessons for professionals and travelers alike. Fluent in the challenges of language learning (I’ve tackled Thai and Spanish!). I specialize in practical English for tech, business, and everyday confidence.
When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me cycling through the Balkans or discussing AI—let’s turn your goals into conversations!
*Are you ready to speak English with clarity and cultural fluency?
Let’s start!
I’m an engaging, fun, and patient teacher with a strong foundation in grammar and diverse teaching methodologies, thanks to my background as a TEFL trainer and teacher assessor.
My teaching journey began in Thailand, where I taught English for math and science in a primary school. I later worked with Thai university students at a language center.
Living in a non-English speaking country myself, I completely understand the challenges of learning a new language. I aim to create a relaxed, encouraging space where you can improve your English for work, travel, or daily life—whatever your goals may be!
*Real-world conversation: I believe that fluency comes from speaking with real people. My lessons focus on having conversations about topics that you are interested in.
*Personalized experience: I adapt to your level, goals, and interests.
*Focus on speaking: I encourage you ...Meu material de ensino
