About Me

I am a certified English teacher and tutor, based in Kampala.

I come from the east of England, by the seaside. I moved to Kampala in 2021 and I live with my partner and two dogs, Barley and Bow.

I work at an international school in Kampala. My teaching experience so far has included working with vulnerable teenagers with an NGO in Liberia, coaching CEOs in Kigali, and teaching children with disabilities in Zambia.

Before I moved to the African continent, I worked in London for 6 years in Sales and Event Management.

I studied Linguistics with Literature, with a focus on English phonetics and phonology. I am currently working to obtain a Post Graduate Diploma in TESOL (Trinity College London). I have the CELTA (Cambridge Certificate in Teaching English) and got an A, the top mark. (I don't normally like to show off but only 5% of candidates get this mark!). I also have a 140-hr TEFL certificate.

My teaching philosophy is simple: I put the student at the heart of every decision. I strongly believe that English language lessons should be task-based and with a clear communicative purpose to make it relevant for your life.

If you study with me, you'll see that I like to laugh. I also love when my students can teach me something, perhaps about their country, culture, or language.

I can help you to communicate confidently in English, and enjoy yourself while you learn.

I offer you a new learning experience.

The focus is on practical application and theory is only introduced where intuition reaches its limits.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, my tailor-made lessons will accelerate your language acquisition in a positive learning environment.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both young people and adults who want to learn German or improve their knowledge without wasting time on nonsensical school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for German. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs. The programme focuses on your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

My name is Nicolas, and I'm an English teacher with eight years of teaching experience. I've spoken English since I was a teenager and have continued to practice it through my many travels. My level was further improved during an extended stay in Canada. In 2018, I passed the TEFL Cambridge exam, the English as a Foreign Language Teaching Certificate.

Having also gone through the process of learning to speak this language, I am well aware of the different stages my students go through. This helps considerably.

My courses are custom-built to achieve personal goals and are adapted to the specific needs of each individual.

Practice is prioritized throughout the learning process to foster independence as quickly as possible. Basic grammar and vocabulary concepts are also covered, depending on the student's level.

This course is aimed at:
- Beginners (basics, conversation, travel);
- Intermediate/advanced (improvement, exam preparation: TOEFL, IELTS, TOEIC);
- Professionals (business English, interview preparation).

Feel free to contact me for more information.

With pleasure :)

Do you want to use English with more confidence at work or in everyday situations, but traditional courses haven't helped you express yourself as you need? I'm Ian, a native English speaker with a PhD in English and experience teaching at the university level and as a second language. I'm also a language learner and have lived abroad, so I know firsthand some of the challenges of learning and using another language.

The classes are designed for adults, especially professionals and intermediate to advanced students (B1–C2). We'll start by discussing your goals, level, interests, and availability, and then design a practical and realistic plan. Depending on your needs, we'll work on conversation, listening comprehension, pronunciation, vocabulary, applied grammar, and writing. We can practice meetings, presentations, interviews, and other specific situations, using films, TV series, music, or topics that interest you as learning materials. You'll receive clear feedback and a manageable pace for continued practice between classes. The priority is to use English regularly and express yourself confidently: grammar is at the service of communication.
