About Me

For me, teaching is about building confidence, creating bespoke lessons, and communicating a love of language and literature to my students. Basically, I love helping people do better than they've ever done before, including supporting new writers to fulfill their dream of writing a novel or memoir.

Many of my GCSE students have achieved far higher grades than predicted after we've worked together.

As a published author of the book, 'Novel Writing Blueprint' and 'Novel Writing Blueprint Workbook', I'm also able to offer short courses on novel writing to aspiring authors.

Education

BSc in Psychology (Open University) I'm an expert in exam technique, using aspects of memory theory and the neurology of learning to help students excel.

MA in Creative Writing (Bath Spa). I'm a published author and have helped many students to finish first the first draft of their novlel or memoir.

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.

Hello !
Currently a second-year undergraduate student in languages (English and Spanish) at the University of Lille, I offer private lessons, homework help and academic support.

What I propose:

- Primary & Secondary School:
> Comprehensive homework help: regular support to ensure proper understanding of lessons and homework.
> Support in general subjects: review of the basics (mathematics, French...), organizational methods and practical exercises to progress with confidence.

- Middle School & High School:
> English & Spanish: strengthening of grammatical foundations, enrichment of vocabulary, work on pronunciation and training in oral and written expression (preparation for tests, continuous assessment, general fluency).

- Special High School – STMG Track:
Having myself obtained a STMG baccalaureate, I am thoroughly familiar with the curriculum and requirements of this track. I can therefore effectively support and guide first and final year STMG students in their specific subjects, exam methodology, and baccalaureate preparation.

My method:
Patient, attentive, and caring, I adapt each session to the student's pace. My goal is to restore their confidence, teach them effective study methods, and help them progress smoothly.
Lessons can take place at your home or via video call, depending on your preference. Feel free to contact me to discuss your needs!
