English for work, study and everyday life, explained in Spanish or Russian

From 30 £ /h

Practical English for work, study, and everyday life, combining engaging conversation practice with clear, constructive feedback tailored to your needs. Having lived in England for many years and graduated from a leading UK university, I bring both strong academic foundations and extensive experience of life in an English-speaking environment. As someone who learnt English as a second language, I understand the challenges learners face and know how to help them overcome these obstacles with confidence.

We focus on what matters the most to you, whether that is speaking with confidence, understanding native speakers at their natural pace, writing clear and effective emails, or preparing for an interview or presentation.
Grammar and pronunciation are addressed as they arise, with concise explanations and practical, real-life examples. I offer subtle constructive feedback that enhances your language skills without interrupting the flow of conversation.

When helpful, I can clarify certain points in Spanish or Russian, while keeping the rest of the lesson in English to ensure an immersive learning experience.

Tell me about your goals, and I will tailor our lessons to your needs, helping you make steady progress in a friendly, supportive, and encouraging environment.

Lessons take place online (Google Meet or Zoom); I will send the link through Apprentus once the lesson is booked.

About Me

Hi! I'm a native Russian speaker, and I teach Russian, Spanish and English. I currently teach Russian online for a language school in London. Spanish and English are languages I learned myself, Spanish at university with a semester in Spain, so I know first-hand what it's like to learn a foreign language, make mistakes and slowly gain confidence.

My teaching approach is practical, friendly and student-centred. We spend most of the lesson in real conversation and everyday situations, and I explain grammar briefly, with examples and in context, rather than through long explanations. If you're learning Russian, lessons can be in English or Spanish, whichever you're more comfortable in.

I enjoy teaching motivated adults at any level, from complete beginners to people who want to speak more naturally, and I also work with younger learners.

Drop me a message with what you'd like to work on, and we'll take it from there.

Learn Russian with a native speaker, taught in English

30 £ /h

A native Russian speaker with a degree in Hispanic Studies from a leading UK university and near-native proficiency in English. I currently teach Russian online for London-based language school, helping English-speaking learners develop their language skills with confidence and clarity.

My lessons are designed for English speakers who want to learn Russian with a tutor who understands both languages and can explain the differences clearly in English.

If you are a complete beginner, we will start with the Cyrillic alphabet, pronunciation, and useful everyday expressions, speaking Russian from the very first lesson. If you already have some knowledge of the language, we will focus on developing your speaking skills, expanding your vocabulary, and tackling more challenging areas, such as the Russian cases system and verbs of motion.

Grammar is introduced naturally, through concise explanations and practical examples rather than lengthy lectures. Where Russian and English differ, I will help you understand the underlying patterns so that you can use the language more accurately and confidently.

Tell me about your goals, and I will tailor our lessons to your individual needs, creating a friendly, supportive environment in which you can make steady progress.

Spanish with a Hispanic Studies graduate, explained in English or Russian

30 £ /h

Having learnt Spanish myself, explored it academically at university and spent time living in Spain, I understand the challenges learners face at every stage of their journey. I hold a degree in Hispanic Studies from a leading UK university and spent a semester studying at a Spanish university, giving me both a strong formal foundation and first-hand experience of how Spanish is spoken in everyday life.

For beginners, we build a practical base from the very first lesson, focusing on pronunciation, essential verbs, and simple conversations about daily situations. At intermediate and advanced levels, we place greater emphasis on conversation, expanding your vocabulary and working through the challenging grammatical structures, including 'ser' and 'estar', the past tenses, and the subjunctive. Throughout our lessons, we develop your speaking and listening skills while deepening your understanding of how the language works.

I can explain concepts in English or Russian, depending on what works best for you, while keeping our lessons primarily in Spanish to help you develop confidence and communicate more naturally.

Tell me about your goals and I will tailor our lessons to your needs, helping you make steady progress in a friendly, supportive environment.

Hello everyone,
My name is Phillip. I am an experienced, native bilingual (USA/Switzerland) English teacher. Today, I am pleased to guide you in your learning from my office located in the wild and inspiring setting of western Ireland.

With many years of experience as a private tutor, I work with students from all backgrounds. However, over time, I have developed an approach that is particularly appreciated by seniors and retirees. Why? Because I am convinced that learning a language at this stage of life should first and foremost be a shared pleasure, a window onto the world, and a wonderful way to keep the mind sharp and curious.
My approach: Trust and kindness above all

Many of us have somewhat rigid memories of school learning. With me, forget the stress of mistakes or tedious grammar. My primary goal is to restore your confidence. We progress at your pace, with a gentle, patient, and personalized teaching approach. Whether you're starting from scratch or simply want to refresh your old school memories, I adapt completely to your needs.

What we can explore together:
- Travel English: So that your next trip abroad is synonymous with serenity (getting around, ordering in restaurants, communicating with locals without apprehension).

-Maintaining family ties: Ideal if you have bilingual grandchildren or grandchildren living abroad and you want to share more with them.

-Conversation & Culture: Discuss current events, literature, history or life in Ireland, while enjoying my clear and easy-to-understand native accent.

-Brain gymnastics: Using English as a fun and stimulating tool to maintain memory and cognitive plasticity.

Why choose me?
As a dual American and Swiss national living in Ireland, I bring a unique cultural richness to your life. I have a mastery of all the nuances of the English language, but I also have a perfect understanding of French culture and structure.

Practical and technological aspects:

We'll work together via Zoom or Google Meet, very simple and reliable tools. If you're worried about the technology, don't be: I'll guide you step by step during our first session so you feel completely comfortable on screen. It's much simpler than it seems!

Join me for a friendly and engaging experience, blending Swiss rigor, American optimism, and the legendary warmth of Ireland. Let's transform your English practice into a truly enriching human adventure.
Nice to meet you,

Phillip

I grew up bilingual in English and Portuguese, and I love helping people feel confident using English in real life. My classes are 100% conversation-based: no boring translation lists. Instead, I use mime, pictures, and words you already know to explain new ones, so you start thinking in English naturally.

I’ve taught English to friends, neighbors, and family members of all ages, adapting each lesson to the person in front of me. I’m also studying Psychology, which helps me understand how people learn, stay motivated, and lose the fear of speaking.

Everyone from 4 to 65+! Kids learn through games, drawing, and songs. Teens and adults learn through conversation, music, and the things they love. Every class is patient, friendly, and made for you.
