About me
For children and teenagers, a good English lesson should feel organized, encouraging, and easy to follow. I like to help students understand not only what to say, but also how to use English clearly and confidently in real situations.
I am Gareth, a British English teacher with experience in business English, exam preparation, and general communication. My background includes teaching learners of different ages and levels, including one-to-one lessons and structured language support. I have also worked in business management, which helps me bring clear organization and practical communication skills into my classes.
My lessons are suitable for upper beginner, intermediate, upper intermediate, advanced, and upper advanced students. I can help young learners improve British English, accent reduction, grammar, listening, reading, speaking, vocabulary, pronunciation, and writing.
For older students, I can also support business English, colloquial English, interview preparation, IELTS, and TOEFL. My teaching style is focused but friendly. I aim to make each lesson useful and motivating, so students can build stronger English step by step, speak with more confidence, and feel better prepared for school, exams, travel, and future opportunities.
