One to One English Lessons with Richard

I highly recommend Richard as a Business English tutor. As a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker, I particularly appreciated his understanding of my linguistic background. He provided an extensive and comprehensive library of spoken words, which has been incredibly helpful in expanding my vocabulary and improving my pronunciation.

In addition to this, Richard offered targeted exercises in presentations and social conversations, helping me develop the confidence and skills needed to communicate effectively in both professional and casual settings. He has a keen understanding of the challenges associated with difficult sounds in pronunciation and tailored his lessons to address my specific needs.

His expertise, patience, and personalised approach have greatly contributed to my progress. I am very grateful for his guidance and support.

I would like to say thank you to Richard for his lessons. He is the most encouraging English teacher I have ever met. He is supportive and kind, so I never feel foolish, even if I really was. I’ve been learning English with Richard for more than one year and the lessons are never boring, because Richard has a huge variety of materials, all of them are fascinating and original. One of my favorite parts of our lessons is book discussion. I’m enjoying reading  Richard’s choices. I look forward to every lesson, each one increases my motivation to learn English. I feel more confident in my skills after every lesson due to Richard’s empathetic style of teaching. I highly recommend this teacher as a motivating and inspiring professional.

I first contacted Richard when I moved to Cambridge. I wanted to improve my English skills in order to take the C1 Advanced Exam. He had a myriad of resources, that were used to focus on my weaknesses.

After I moved back to Spain, we continued our classes through Skype. Not only has he helped me prepare the speaking part, but he also made me more confident and relaxed about it. I have already done the exam, and I could not be happier. He is a great teacher. I have just received my results from the exam.

I got a 194 on the speaking. I am really really happy, thanks again Richard!

VICTOR

I contacted Richard for proofreading services through the recommendation of a university colleague. My first language is not English and I needed extra support for my academic script. That made me trust Richard. But besides this initial preconception, Richard’s services turned out to be extremely quick and professional. Regarding a dissertation submission, speed is a key factor.

Thanks Richard for your help.

When I first came to the UK I realised that I did not know English well enough to express myself and to understand people. At that time I met with Richard, his different and encouraging style gave me motivation. I have been taking English lessons with him for over a year now. With his help I can express myself which gives me significant relief in my daily and work life.

When I moved to Cambridge, my English was not enough to express myself, and as a result of my teacher search, I met Richard. He has his own teaching style. He creates his own exercises and helps you strengthen your weaknesses with different ways. He has a friendly attitude which is why I always enjoy to work with him. I recommend Richard to everyone who needs to improve her/his English.

The best teachers aren’t just teachers. They are also coaches. Richard is an empathetic and highly educated person. The topics we deal with during lessons are never trivial. He is an excellent choice for those who want to train their brains. Thanks to him I got my current job.

AHMY

I feel lucky to have Richard’s English lessons. He is an excellent teacher. First of all, he knows exactly what I lack and what I need and he tries to help my weakness become much stronger. Lessons are professionally taught and he always prepares a variety of resources which are very helpful. Also, he is patient and generous with praise.

I always look forward to his lessons. I would definitely recommend him as an English teacher.

IRENE

Very good communicator, usually through email. Always keeps to deadlines. I am very pleased with the editing work even for subjects with which he is not familiar. In my case, History of Art essays.

INGA

I found Richard a very simple, responsible, straight to the point and sophisticated tutor.

With a variety of exercises I have managed to strengthen my weakness and became aware of English language usage in general.

The lessons were at the right level and uncomplicated. Richard is a smart and well-motivated person who inspired  me and helped to cross over my barriers.

P.s I’m going to miss our intelligent and great discussions.

PABLO

Since the first English lesson Richard was really helpful and friendly with me. I think he is more than a common teacher, as If you want, you can share opinions about different topics such as politics, British society, social media, travels etc. He is really interested and attentive with your point of view and questions. Our lessons, sometimes, would look like a conversation between two friends, and for me that is pretty important if you wish to pick up your fluency as soon as possible. Obviously he always tried to find the best answer for my doubts, albeit sometimes those were stupid hahah

To be honest, I think everyone has to follow his/her different way to learn English, as there are people who prefer study while others prefer to watch movies or meet people. However having a support in your path like Richard can bring you more facilities to meet yourself in this intense and exciting time. Invest some money in Richard´s lessons is one of the best presents that you can give yourself in England.

See you soon buddy!

Take care!
