I was born in London and brought up in Kent. This explains my neutral accent and British sense of humour!
I did a degree in Business Studies with Marketing and my first career was in sales and marketing. I ran my own direct marketing company with offices in Nottingham and Leeds before I decided that the part I loved most was teaching and training. And the rest is history!
I’ve been teaching English since 1998. I trained in London before moving to Mexico, where I worked as a teacher, academic director, and school manager.
In 2002, I relocated to Barcelona, taking on roles as a teacher and academic coordinator, and I transitioned to freelance teaching in 2020.
Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with a wide range of organisations and helping both individuals and professionals at all levels achieve their English goals.
For many years, I have successfully prepared 100’s of students for B2, C1, and C2 Cambridge exams — if this interests you, please mention it when you contact me.
Today, I use my teaching skills to help business professionals improve their level of business English, offering practical training in presentation skills, interviews, social English, and clear, confident communication.
Since 2005, I have worked as a materials’ writer for major educational publishers such as Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press, and Macmillan.
I use my experience as a content creator to produce personalised materials for my students designed around their needs which is more motivating and useful.
I have also trained as a personal coach and a stand up comedian! Don’t ask me to tell you a joke but I’m sure you will appreciate the humour of our classes and also the emotional support and motivation I bring as a coach.
For this reason, I feel when you work with me you get more than a teacher!
If you would like to have a chat about how I could help you improve your English language and skills, please get in touch by email or WhatsApp.
It’s been a pleasure to serve so many people over the years and I hope I can support you on your English speaking journey and who knows, maybe we can write some exciting new chapters together!
Very best wishes
Peter
