ESL / EAL Teacher with CELTA + 11 years' Experience - General/Business English Language - IELTS - EAL - ESL

I've known Richard for years as an exceptional teacher and friend. I met him when I was a newcomer to Australia, and he was one of the first people to make me feel truly welcome. He has a fantastic ability to break down complex topics and always provides plenty of encouragement. I'd recommend him to anyone who wants to better themselves and achieve their goals.

Richard not only possesses the aptitude in teaching and tutoring, he also dsiplays the personality, thoughtfulness, and hardwork ethic that is required in this profession, I cannot think of a better person able to to connect properly with his students whilst providing the learning experience that is expected in Australia. Highly recommended!

I've known Richard for about 12 years. Over that time we have shared a lot of ideas and knowledge with each other - he even taught me juggling and Diabolo. Over those years Richard has always proven to be very attentive and amazingly patient when teaching. Your learning becomes his personal goal - and he does not stop until it is achieved!

Richard is professional but very easy to talk to and he seems to genuinely love teaching. His grammar knowledge is excellent and he is great at correcting mistakes when we are speaking. I particularly like the way he tailors the lesson to my needs. I highly recommend him!

I'm a student from Italy. I've been having classes with Richard and I must confess that he is the best English teacher I have ever had! Besides being well prepared with IELTS exams, he also has a solid historical and cultural background. He is equipped with useful teaching material and his lessons are carefully prepared according to my needs and goals. Once the lesson is over, he regularly sends me notes and corrections from the lesson. In short, I don't think it's possible to have better teacher than him. Super approved !!
Thank you Richard!

I have known Richard for over 20 years and I can say that he is very professional and dedicated to helping others.

He is a very passionate teacher and always takes the time and energy to assist our friends when they need it.

I would highly recommend Richard as either an English teacher or professional coach.

Richard is great! He's attention to detail, enthusiasm, and ability to describe complex subjects simply is very helpful.

I highly recommend Richard as an English teacher. He is a great teacher who encourages students to study or practice outside the lessons. I consider him a disciplined person because he has always shared his notes with me and tracks my progress while learning English. I also recommend Richard to Spanish native speakers since he has large experience correcting the common pronunciation mistakes we usually make.

Richard is an awesome teacher. He is patient, thorough and obviously loves what he does. He has helped me a great deal!

Richard has taught me a great deal about juggling and prop manipulation. Richard has tutored me in Diablo and 3 ball Juggling. Richard is a great teacher, he has a great sense of what my next step should be. I recommend Richard as he is able to break things down into small increments, which makes learning really enjoyable.

Richard is a born teacher and leader. Whether it be through informal or formal means, Richard calls on his patience, enthusiasm, compassion and approachability to guide others to bring out their very best and rise to the challenge.
Richard has coached me through my own personal growth in a number of settings and I would highly recommend his teaching style and as a mentor.

I have known Richard for many years, and he has consistently been one of the most positive, motivational, helpful, and inspiring people I know. He manages to break things down into easily understandable stages in order to get the best out of people, and situations without ever being condescending or superior. We have travelled together to several international conventions in Europe, where he has made himself an integral part of proceedings by engaging with large numbers of people, without even being paid faculty. He has been keen to share experience, and learn new skills whilst maintaining his ever present smile, and clear sense of fun.

I have had the pleasure of working with Richard over the last 5 years. Richard has greatly assisted me in making a number of career transitions, firstly applying for an academic role in the Netherlands, and then 2 years later, making the transition to a prestigious technology company. In both of these occasions, I was successful in landing the jobs, in large part thanks to Richard's assistance, both in preparing my CV and going through the interview process. Once landing these roles, Richard helped me make the most out of them, including dealing with setbacks and also successfully making career-enhancing internal moves.

I can highly recommend Richard as an interview and personal effectiveness coach, as well as a teacher. You won't go wrong with his help!

Richard is an excellent teacher, he was helping me to prepare IELTS speaking exam. He is passionate about teaching English. He was totally willing to help, encourage and motivate me, he listened to me carefully and gave me instantaneous and accurate feedbacks to correct my pronunciation and grammar mistakes.

Richard is a great communicator, he can explain complex concepts in an easy to understand manner.

I would strongly recommend Richard.

Having known Richard for many years, as both a teacher and a person, he is extremely patient, empathetic and, at the core, genuinely wanting to see his students build their confidence and ability to communicate more effectively. These are the qualities, that in my opinion, make him a great teacher and will have a profound and positive impact on his students.

Richard is a great teacher. More than any I have ever had, he really listens to his students and gives them space to process the information. He always adapts to the individual student. Richard and I met through mutual friends and have had some incredibly deep conversations about language and philosophy.
