English Language Training, Coaching and Facilitation

From 12 £ /h

I offer English Language Training to Speakers of another language (or TEFL is Training English as a Foreign Language). Thus, it is the teaching of English to non-native speakers where English is not the primary language. It involves helping learners develop speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and communication skills through online instruction. I offer tuition to learners from teenagers to adults at all proficiency levels, supporting academic, professional and everyday communication goals.

About Me

Hello! I'm Peter from Cape Town, South Africa, and I help teenagers, adult learners, professionals, managers, and leaders develop the confidence and communication skills they need to speak English naturally and effectively.
With over 38 years of experience in adult education, coaching, facilitation, counselling, and leadership development, I understand that learning a language is about much more than vocabulary and grammar. It is about gaining the confidence to express yourself clearly, communicate authentically, and build meaningful connections in both professional and everyday life.

My background is unique. I hold a Bachelor of Social Sciences degree with majors in Psychology and Social Work, together with a professional TEFL certification. Throughout my career, I have worked extensively in corporate learning and development, leadership training, coaching, counselling, and personal development, helping an extensive number of adults grow in confidence, improve their communication, and achieve their personal and professional goals.

This combination of behavioural science, adult learning, and language instruction allows me to create lessons that are practical, supportive, and highly personalised. Every learner arrives with different goals, experiences, strengths, and challenges, so I begin by working collaboratively with each student to identify clear learning outcomes and create a learning pathway that fits their individual needs. Whether your goal is conversational fluency, business English, interview preparation, presentation skills, pronunciation, or simply feeling more comfortable speaking English, every lesson is designed with your objectives in mind.

I believe that adults learn best when they feel relaxed, respected, encouraged, and understood. Many learners already know more English than they realise but hesitate to speak because of fear, self-consciousness, perfectionism, or previous negative learning experiences. My teaching philosophy focuses on creating a safe, encouraging environment where mistakes become opportunities for growth and confidence develops naturally through meaningful conversation and guided practice.

Drawing on decades of experience in psychology, coaching, and adult development, I understand the emotional and psychological aspects of language learning. My lessons, therefore, go beyond teaching grammar and vocabulary. They also help learners overcome communication barriers, reduce speaking anxiety, build self-confidence, and develop the habits that lead to lasting improvement.

Students often describe me as patient, approachable, encouraging, and easy to talk to. I enjoy building genuine relationships with people from different cultures and backgrounds and believe that learning should be engaging, enjoyable, and relevant to everyday life.
Whether you are preparing for work, study, travel, international business, or simply want to speak English with greater confidence, I will work alongside you to help you communicate more naturally, clearly, and confidently.

I look forward to helping you discover your voice in English and supporting you every step of your learning journey.

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

Learn world history, international relations, and political science from a former U.S. diplomat with 16 years of professional experience in Asia, Africa, and Washington, D.C.

This class is designed for high school and university students, adult learners, and anyone interested in developing a deeper understanding of how international affairs, politics, economics, and diplomacy actually work. Lessons can be tailored to your interests, academic coursework, or professional goals.

Topics can include international relations and foreign policy; diplomacy and negotiation; the United Nations and other international organizations; U.S. government and foreign policy; international security; global economic and technology issues; cross-cultural communication; and the relationship between history and current world events.

My teaching style emphasizes understanding and discussion rather than simply memorizing facts. We'll examine why countries and leaders make the choices they do, how governments negotiate and cooperate, and how historical and cultural factors shape today's world.

Before transitioning into education, I served for 16 years as a U.S. Foreign Service Officer, with assignments in China, Indonesia, Madagascar, Chad, and Washington, D.C. I have also taught English in China and Japan, served as a graduate teaching assistant in international relations at American University, and taught undergraduate students at the University of Maryland.

Whether you're preparing for a class or exam, considering a career in international affairs, or simply want to understand world events more deeply, I will tailor our lessons to your interests and goals.

English classes have become a negative obligation for many people. With my classes, I aim to make learning a new language fun. Both children and adults will find in these classes a space not only for improvement and learning, but also for confidence and positivity.
Mistakes are not something to be afraid of; without them, we could not say that we have learned.
In these classes, I will use my knowledge and tools to help you: start learning English, improve your level, or simply maintain your fluency. Of course, I will also adapt to your needs, always striving for innovation and the best approach to ensure you have a pleasant experience and associate learning with something positive.
Finally, I offer online classes from the comfort of your home, to make it even easier for you to improve or learn. I understand chaotic schedules and the difficulty of getting around, no worries!
Welcome and...
Let's begin!
