Don’t aim for perfection. Aim for clarity.
I teach General, Business, and Exam English, to groups and individuals, in Gozo and online. Alongside that, I’ve tutored Master’s Degree candidates at the IMO International Maritime Law Institute at the University of Malta, and delivered English courses for international business services, so the work ranges from a first-time learner to a postgraduate defending a thesis in their second language.
Lessons are built around what you actually need, not a fixed syllabus, in groups, small groups, or one-on-one. We work out exactly what that is during a free, no-obligation consultation before anything’s booked.
CertTESOL from Trinity College, London, 2013. Over 10,000 hours of teaching since, to students from around the world. I started at a language school in London before relocating to Malta, and moved most of my teaching online in 2018, well before it became the default. Before any of that, I spent years in IT consultancy, which turns out to matter more than it sounds, understanding exactly what someone needs to hear is the same skill in both fields.

General English
Built around real-life communication rather than grammar for its own sake, making requests, explaining things, holding an actual conversation, with Grammar, Vocabulary, and Pronunciation addressed as they come up rather than drilled in isolation. I use materials accredited by Oxford University Press and Cambridge English. Get in touch for more details or to book.
English for Specific Purposes (ESP) / Business English
Management, marketing, finance, and everything that surrounds them, Business Writing, Job Interviews, Presentations, Technical Documentation, Reports, Contracts, Conferences, Business Trips, and Meetings. More on how this works on the Business English page, or get in touch directly.
