Stop Struggling With English.
Start Speaking With Confidence.
Private 1-on-1 English classes designed around YOUR goals, YOUR level, and YOUR life. Real conversations. Real feedback. Real results — from day one.
Why Your English Still Isn't Where You Want It
You've tried. You've studied. You've downloaded the apps. But something's still missing. Here's why traditional methods keep failing you...
Group Classes That Waste Your Time
You sit in a room (or Zoom call) with 15–20 other students. You get to speak for maybe 3 minutes the entire hour. The teacher moves at the pace of the slowest learner. You're paying for a class, but you're barely participating. After months, you're still stuck at the same level - frustrated and wondering if it's your fault. It's not.
Apps That Teach You Useless Phrases
"The elephant is in the garden." Wonderful. Now try explaining your quarterly results to your international team. Or negotiating a contract. Or making a joke at a dinner party. Language apps teach vocabulary in isolation - they don't teach you how to communicate. There's a massive difference between matching words on a screen and having a real conversation.
Textbooks That Put You to Sleep
Page after page of grammar rules, fill-in-the-blank exercises, and dialogues between "John and Mary at the airport." You memorize the rules for the test, then forget them by Tuesday. Where's the real-world practice? Where are the conversations about topics you actually care about? Textbooks teach you about English - they don't teach you to use it.
One-Size-Fits-All Curriculum
A Brazilian marketing director needs completely different English skills than a Japanese engineering student. A Spanish entrepreneur preparing for investor meetings has different needs than a Korean professional relocating to London. So why does everyone get the exact same lesson plan? Generic curricula ignore YOUR specific challenges, YOUR native language interference patterns, and YOUR actual goals.

Imagine having a dedicated English teacher who knows your weaknesses, understands your goals, and designs every single lesson to get you results. That's exactly what Private English Classes delivers.
100% of class time is YOUR time. You speak, you practice, you improve — every single session. No waiting for 15 other students to finish their turn.
Every lesson is custom-built around your real life - your job, your interests, your actual communication needs. Not a generic textbook chapter.
Instant, real-time feedback and correction. Stop practicing mistakes. Get corrected in the moment so you build correct habits from day one.
You set the pace. Move fast through what you know. Slow down and dig deep into what you need. Your class adapts to you - not the other way around.
Real conversations, not scripted dialogues. We talk about things that matter to YOU - your work, your passions, current events, your life. English becomes natural, not forced.

Everything You Need to Finally Break Through
Every class comes loaded with tools, techniques, and support designed to accelerate your progress and keep you motivated.
Conversation-Focused Method
80% of your class time is active speaking. Because you don't learn to swim by reading about water. Every session gets you talking, thinking, and expressing yourself in English — building real fluency, not just knowledge.
Flexible Scheduling
Morning, afternoon, evening - your class fits YOUR life, not the other way around. Busy week? Reschedule easily. Travel coming up? No problem. Your learning adapts to your reality.
Personalised Curriculum
Every single lesson is designed specifically for your needs, your level, and your goals. No one-size-fits-all text book. Just targeted, effective practice that moves you forward.
Real-World Materials
News articles, podcasts, business reports, TED talks, movie clips - I use materials you'll actually encounter in your life. Learn English from content that interests you, not dusty textbook dialogues from 1995.
Progress Tracking
Clear milestones and regular assessments so you can SEE your improvement. Nothing is more motivating than measurable progress. You'll know exactly where you started, where you are, and where you're heading.
Practice Between Classes
Optional exercises, reading assignments, and listening tasks between classes to accelerate your progress. Customized to your level and available time. Yes, optional - no guilt trips here! But students who practice between classes improve 2x faster.
More Than a Teacher — Your Partner in English Mastery
I didn't become an English teacher by accident. After years of watching talented, intelligent people struggle with English — not because they lacked ability, but because they lacked the right approach — I dedicated my career to fixing that.
I've worked with over 250 students from more than 15 countries. I've helped marketing directors nail international presentations, engineers communicate with global teams, entrepreneurs pitch to English-speaking investors, and everyday people finally feel confident expressing themselves.
My approach is different because I understand what non-native speakers actually need: not more grammar rules, but more real practice. Not scripted dialogues, but authentic conversations. Not a generic curriculum, but a personalized roadmap to YOUR version of English fluency.
I make classes fun, engaging, and effective — because if you're not enjoying it, you won't stick with it. And consistency is the secret to real progress.
Students From Around the World Are Transforming Their English
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what students like you are saying about their experience with Private English Classes.
I love Richard’s classes because they are dynamic and engaging. You never get bored. He not only covers basic grammar concepts, phrasal verbs, and their connotations, but also idioms and slang.
Richard always encourages conversations to help you improve your expressions, correcting them instantly in a very respectful and kind manner.The most important thing is that the classes are adapted to your needs.
In my case, I needed to improve technical language for customer support, the payments area, and contact with merchants. Richard also taught me many concepts to enhance my work presentations. It really isn’t an ordinary English class; it covers multiple aspects. Highly recommended 100%.
Richard is an amazing english teacher. He has given me all the support, guidance and coaching for me to be able to achive my personal and professionals goals.
I LOVE how Richard had been able to tailor his classes in order to fill my needs.

Richard makes the classes interesting- discussing not only business topics but other topics which help us gain fluidity and consciousness of intercultural differences.
He also has coached us on confidence and tips to sound and be more authoritative

From Struggling to Speaking With Confidence
Real transformations from real students. This is what becomes possible when you have the right approach and the right support.
❌ Before
Avoids speaking in meetings. Reads from prepared scripts during presentations. Sends emails to colleagues for review before hitting send. Feels like English is holding back career advancement. Turns down international projects because of language anxiety.
✅ After 4 Months
Actively contributes in meetings with confidence. Delivers presentations without notes. Writes professional emails independently. Gets promoted to a role requiring daily English communication. Volunteers for international projects and client calls.
❌ Before
Understands English but freezes when speaking. Can't follow fast conversations or movies. Feels embarrassed about accent and avoids social situations with English speakers. Translates everything in their head before speaking — painfully slow.
✅ After 3 Months
Speaks naturally without translating in their head. Follows movies and podcasts without subtitles. Makes jokes in English (!). Confidently orders at restaurants, makes small talk, and builds friendships in English. Accent is still there — but now it's charming, not a barrier.

I offer several flexible packages to fit different budgets and goals. Pricing depends on the frequency of classes and program type (General or Business English). What I can tell you is this: my students consistently report that private classes deliver 3x faster results than group classes or academies - so you actually spend less overall to reach your goals. Your free discovery session includes a full consultation where I'll recommend the best package for your situation and budget. No surprises, no pressure.
I'm afraid not. In order to work with me you must have at least an intermediate level of English. I don't unfortunately work with anyone with a level lower than beginner.
Most students notice a significant improvement in their confidence and fluency within the first 4 weeks. By 3 months, the transformation is usually dramatic. Of course, results depend on your starting level, how often you practice, and your specific goals. But here's the thing: because every minute of class is focused entirely on YOU, you'll make progress faster than any other method. We also set clear milestones so you can track your improvement objectively - not just "feel" like you're getting better.
Just a computer, tablet, or smartphone with a stable internet connection and a microphone. I use a web based video conferencing tool that work on most devices. No special software to download or install. If you can make a video call, you can take a class. We'll walk you through everything in your discovery call so you're 100% comfortable with the setup before your first paid session.
Absolutely! Life happens. I ask for at least 24 hours' notice for rescheduling, and we'll find a new time that works for you. I understand that my students are busy professionals with unpredictable schedules - that's exactly why I offer this flexibility. No penalties, no lost classes. Your learning fits around your life, not the other way around. Note failure to provide 24 hours notice may mean the class will be forfeited.
Three things set us apart:
1) True personalisation - I don't use generic lesson plans from books. Every single session is custom-designed for your specific needs and goals. I use specialised lesson plans to start the conversation and to provide guidance.
2) Methodology - our conversation-focused approach means you spend 80%+ of class time actively speaking, not passively listening.
3) Accountability — we track your progress with clear milestones and adjust your plan continuously to ensure you're always moving forward. Many online teachers just "chat" for an hour. I deliver structured, goal-oriented sessions that produce measurable results.
Of course. All I ask is that you pay for each class up front. However there is no long term commitment. I would suggest we work together for at least 4 weeks and then review, if we feel we are not a good fit, then we can cancel. That said, in over 250 students, less than 2% have chosen not to continue with me.
For optimal results, I recommend 2 classes per week. This gives you enough frequency to build momentum while allowing time for practice between sessions. However, even 1 class per week produces meaningful results when combined with our between-class practice materials. During your discovery call, we'll discuss your goals and timeline to recommend the ideal frequency for YOUR situation. Some students preparing for specific deadlines (presentations, interviews) take daily intensive sessions for maximum speed.
I provide optional practice activities between classes - reading exercises, listening tasks, vocabulary reviews, and sometimes short writing assignments. These are tailored to your level and the time you have available. They're designed to reinforce what you learned in class and keep your English brain active between sessions. Students who complete the practice activities typically progress 2x faster - but there's absolutely no guilt or pressure if life gets in the way. Your class time alone will still produce excellent results.
I hear this a lot - and it's exactly why private classes exist. The reason other methods haven't worked isn't because you lack talent or ability. It's because those methods weren't designed for you. Group classes move too slow (or too fast). Apps lack real human interaction. Self-study has no accountability. Private 1-on-1 classes eliminate ALL of these problems. Every minute is focused on YOUR specific weaknesses. You get immediate correction, real conversation practice, and a teacher who genuinely cares about your progress. Book your free trial and experience the difference yourself - you have absolutely nothing to lose.
My Bold Promise: Spend 30 Minutes With Me Before You Decide
Your discovery session is 100% free. No credit card required. No hidden fees. No strings attached. Show up, experience the difference that personalized 1-on-1 teaching makes, and decide for yourself. If you continue with regular classes and aren't seeing progress within the first month, we'll work with you to adjust your plan until you are. I can make this guarantee because my method works. Over 250 students and counting. I'm not gambling on you - I'm investing in your success because I know what happens when the right student meets the right approach.
Limited Availability — Don't Wait to Start
Because every class is 1-on-1, there are only a limited number of spots available each month. To maintain the quality and personalization that makes our classes so effective, we can only accept a small number of new students at a time. Every week you wait is another week of missed opportunities - that meeting you could have led, that presentation you could have nailed, that conversation you could have enjoyed.
