Are you looking for a kind, patient English teacher who understands how children learn differently?

I offer online English lessons designed especially for young learners (ages 5–12), including those with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other learning differences. My classes are playful, visual, and highly personalized to each child’s unique pace, personality, and interests.

We use songs, stories, games, and structured routines to build vocabulary, confidence, and communication in a safe and supportive space. Whether your child is a beginner or needs a gentler learning approach, I’m here to help them enjoy English and thrive.

Lessons are available in the evenings (South African time) and are perfect for children who need a warm, creative, and neurodiversity-aware learning environment.

All lessons are adapted to your child’s pace, interests, and learning style.

In just 5 and 1/2 days in February, 2022, I was beginning to transform almost roughly half a secondary school's children !

A Laboratory Technician & Former Senior Mathematics Teacher liked what I was doing - and noted I was the only teacher at the school she saw using my method !

The Head of Science wanted its success for her own children !
The Head of Physics wanted its success for his own children !

The school cleaners liked and agreed strongly with what I was doing !

Children kept clapping hands for me in different classes !

The most dangerous [ latent murderer ] boy, Will, was transformed by my 6th day !
His rebellious classmate, Jackson, was transformed by the 5th day !

From my 1st day to my 6th last day teaching at the school as a Supply Teacher, children kept calling out in the Playgrounds, " Hello, Mr ! "

That week I was helped by 72 million pastors & members of Christ Embassy praying from 6am for the children of the world and the Lord Jesus Christ answered miraculously our prayers.


92% Mathematics - By A Girl NOT In Top Sets - ca 7 Lessons ONLY !

In just 6 months of Home Tuition, 7 A, A, A, A, A, A & A* - BY A LOWEST SET Cardiff High School GCSE BOY !

100% SUCCESS - with zero rejection of learning - BY DYSLEXIC CHILDREN - Since 2016 !


ALL BECAUSE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST HAS BLESSED MY PEDAGOGICAL METHODS - Since 1985 !
Thanks to Him, He used me to bless many families - since I entered school teaching in 1992 !


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EXPERIENCED TEACHER - I BEGAN TEACHING - OVER 35 YEARS AGO !

HOME - SCHOOL - UNIVERSITY - BUSINESS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BIOLOGY - EASIER , MORE ACCURATE WAYS TO LEARN CERTAIN TOPICS In !
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* 100 % SUCCESS - Teaching Dyslexic Children - In RECENT YEARS !

* 100 % SUCCESS - UNIVERSITY Personal Statements - OVER ALL MY YEARS So Far !

7 A, A, A, A, A, A & A* - By Bottom Set GCSE Boy - In JUST 6 Months' Tuition - Cardiff Hign School !


How ?


* Since 1992, I have given my school and home classes ACTIVE LEARNING
rather than the popular PASSIVE LEARNING.


This lets students enjoy lessons and learn FASTER.


* I use special layouts of 2s, 3s and 4s
to aid the brain assimilate faster and easier.


* I use special serene colours and avoid negative colours that slow the brain's cognitive processes.


* I teach students which daily activities to avoid so that their brains go back to normal in 7 to 31 days - for many if they follow my advice fully.


* I show school & university students a FAR EASIER & MORE EFFICIENT JAMES WAY TO DO HOMEWORK !

.... so be more than ready and well prepared BEFORE THE EXAMS if you follow my simple, easy methodology fully properly !


All because in 1987, I decided to read the Holy Bible more - and my wife prays for my students !

The Lord Jesus Christ is the One Who has taught me to teach in EXCELLENT WAYS ! MANY Subjects !


It was not by my 3 universities. The best Teachers' Training College at the time , Sir Robert Black College Of Education, where I obtained a Certificate of Special Education trained in some ways like what God Almighty gave me through The Holy Bible.

If it had not been for the Lord Jesus, I would have been like all the other teachers - and would not have achieved dynamic top results for pupils who followed my methods fully properly.

A practical Italian course for adults who want to travel in Italy with more confidence, independence, and enjoyment.

This class is designed for travelers, holidaymakers, couples, adults planning a trip to Italy, and anyone who wants to experience the country more authentically by speaking the language in real situations.

The lessons focus on useful, everyday Italian that can help you during your holiday from the very first day. The goal is to help you communicate naturally, ask questions, understand common replies, and feel more comfortable while travelling in Italy.

During the course, we can work on:

-ordering food and drinks in restaurants, cafés, and bars
-asking for recommendations about local restaurants and typical dishes
-booking hotels, checking in, and communicating with staff
-asking for directions and understanding simple explanations
-shopping in markets, stores, and local boutiques
-speaking with locals in everyday situations
-asking about transport, train stations, buses, taxis, and tickets
-talking about places to visit, museums, tours, and attractions
-handling common travel situations and small problems
-useful vocabulary, pronunciation, and listening practice for real interactions

Lessons are fully personalized according to your travel plans, level, and interests. Whether you are visiting Italy for the first time or planning a longer stay, the course can be adapted to the regions, cities, and situations that are most relevant to you.

My teaching method is practical, friendly, structured and professional. Each lesson focuses on real communication and combines useful vocabulary, simple grammar, guided speaking, listening, role plays, and travel-based simulations.

This class is ideal for learners who do not want to study Italian only from textbooks, but want to use it in real life to enjoy Italy more fully and confidently.

If you are planning a holiday in Italy and want to feel more relaxed, independent, and connected to the local culture, this course is the right place to start.

Learning English shouldn’t feel boring, confusing, or intimidating — and that’s exactly why my classes are different. I’m Victor, an energetic and result-driven English Language tutor who knows how to turn average students into confident communicators. My methodology combines practical learning, interactive discussions, real-life communication practice, personalized coaching, and easy-to-follow techniques that make improvement fast, natural, and enjoyable.

My teaching style is dynamic, engaging, supportive, and deeply personalized. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all teaching. Every student learns differently, so I carefully adapt my lessons to match your learning speed, personality, strengths, and goals. I create a relaxed environment where mistakes become opportunities to grow, confidence increases naturally, and learning becomes exciting instead of stressful.

What truly makes me stand out as a teacher is my passion, patience, creativity, and ability to make students feel seen, heard, and motivated. I explain difficult topics in the simplest way possible, making even struggling students improve rapidly. Beyond teaching grammar and vocabulary, I help students become bold, expressive, articulate, and confident in both academic and everyday communication.

If you’re ready to improve your English fluency, communication skills, writing, pronunciation, and overall confidence with a tutor who genuinely cares about your progress, then you’re absolutely in the right place.
