BRITISH ENGLISH · ATHENS & ONLINE
Practise your English with a native English speaker
If you’re studying English and need more practice, want to become more confident speaking, or have something specific you’d like to work on, I offer one-to-one lessons built around what you need.
I’m from south-east England and have taught English to learners from around the world in London, Tokyo and the former Yugoslavia.
We can work on conversation, pronunciation, writing, English for work, or simply give you more time to actually use the English you’re learning. Whatever you want to improve that’s what we’ll focus on.
Getting Started is as Easy as ABC. Let’s Get Started!

About Philip
I’m a native English speaker from south-east England, now living in Athens, Greece.
I’ve taught English to learners in London, Tokyo and the former Yugoslavia, and spent much of my working life as a graphic designer and writer. I also run a website for book lovers. And I’m a lifelong vegetarian.
I’ve travelled widely in Europe and Asia, and what I enjoy most about teaching English is helping people communicate and express themselves, while getting to know them too. To be honest, I just like talking to new people.
How I can Help You
You might want more speaking practice, help with English for work, or simply someone to explain why something sounds odd even though it looks correct. Lessons can focus on one area or mix several, depending on what you need.
I’ve taught English in many different settings. At the Callan School in London, I taught international classes using the highly structured Callan Method. In Tokyo, I taught one-to-one conversation lessons. In the former Yugoslavia, I set up English classes for refugee children aged 5 to 16 and for adults (which later led to a UN consultancy contract).
So I’m used to adapting to each student’s needs. Some people need structure, some need conversation, some want help with something very specific. These five areas are a starting point, but whatever you want to improve that’s what we’ll focus on.

Your Own Focus
” True teachers are those who use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross; then, having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create their own. “
