HELLO! I'M SIMON FROM ENGLAND! Nice to meet you! I am here to help YOU! Whatever you need! I used to be a BBC DJ and Journalist but now I teach English as a Foreign Language to adults aged 16 and over. I've worked in two of the biggest language schools in Malta, and now I'm teaching online! I'm available most days of the week for full lessons, trial lessons and Instant lessons, for conversation practice and grammar help. ! I believe language learning is a constant process rather than containing it into just a 30-60 minute lesson, so my message inbox is always open for you! And if you want a lesson but it says I'm unavailable, message me as I'm very flexible! LET'S TRY IT!

Me as a Teacher
RELAXED AND FUN! I firmly believe that we learn more when we are relaxed and enjoying what we are doing, so I want sessions with me to be fun but productive! I'M HERE FOR YOU! I work hard to make sure my lessons are what you need, starting off by listening to you as you tell me which areas of English you most want to improve and how you most enjoy learning new things, be it by speaking, reading, listening etc. I hope you will find a lesson with me to be relaxed, enjoyable and above all very beneficial and helpful.
My lessons & teaching style
LET'S SPEAK! First and foremost, I believe in conversation. After all, we speak to communicate! I enjoy getting my students to practice their English speaking and to grow in confidence as you learn vocabulary and phrases that are relevant to your needs and wishes. I am here to help YOU, rather than the other way round, so it is important that YOU tell me what you find difficult about English so we can then work on it together. We can look at grammar, new vocabulary and idioms , improve your listening skills and any specialist areas too that would help you.

Simon, you are unique and irreplaceable to me by now. I appreciate very much the work we do together; it's very useful and fun! Not only do I have the chance to practice speaking and improve my fluency, but I also learn a lot in terms of language usage and set expressions. If I could, I would take a lesson a day... to keep bad English away!!! ;-D

Simon is an excellent teacher!!! I really enjoyed our lesson a lot! He was prepared perfectly, very positive, very professional and very, very friendly. The lesson with Simon was wonderful, because it was fun, engaging, and informative. I'm a language teacher myself so I feel qualified to judge his teaching ability. He is very supportive, kind, patient and helpful!!
I have learned a lot, because he explains grammar and vocabulary points very clearly with examples.
I recommend him without hesitation, because he is indeed a perfect and, in my opinion, the best teacher!!
Thank you very much for everything, Simon!
