If you're English is already around level B2 and you're wondering how to keep progressing and get to C1 then I recommend Luca Lampariello's YouTube channel and in particular this video "How to Overcome the Intermediate Plateau" 😃

I'm a friendly 😊 patient and kind teacher. I have a good ear 👂 for pronunciation and I pay a lot of attention to detail, so I will correct your mistakes, both written and spoken, so that you quickly learn to communicate in better English and lose those little habits we all pick up while we're learning a second language. I know all about this, having learned Spanish as a second language.
Naturally, all your lessons will be tailored to your needs and desires, which we can discuss in a trial class, before you buy a package.
I'm from Leicester, England, so you can probably guess that I love football, especially the 🦊 FOXES 🦊 but apart from watching and playing football, ⚽ I spend lots of time with my wife running 🏃 and cycling 🚴♂️ in the mountains near where I live in Colombia.
Before moving to Colombia I worked for 15 years as an accountant in several different UK companies, so I have a wide knowledge of business English in a number of different sectors and I would love the opportunity to pass this knowledge on to you.
Since 2016 I've been travelling and living in Colombia, working as an online tutor and until recently as a high school teacher 👨🏫 in a private school.
So, no matter which football team you support, let's get started!
