About Richard

I am an experienced, native English language teacher. I have the level 5 Cambridge CELTA Certificate as well as the Certificate IV in TESOL and a bachelor's degree from The University of Sydney.

I have a huge passion for helping people improve their English. I work very hard to ensure my students understand concepts and apply their new skills so they feel comfortable using English every day in Australia. I have helped my students get their dream job in Australia, strengthen their relationships, be more sociable and meet new people.

I help my students speak confidently, correctly and fluently. The main focus is on improving pronunciation and grammar so you can sound like a native speaker. I know all of the tricks and I have being doing it for over 10 years.

About the lesson

Hello!

My general lessons are fun and interesting! I will teach you many new things each lesson using professional teaching methods and multiple resources. You will spend most of the lesson time practicing speaking and you will enhance your listening, writing and reading skills in the homework tasks.

Secure and thrive in your dream job, build stronger relationships and live happily in a foreign country! You can do it!

I also do PTE and IELTS exam preparation lessons. I will give you expert tips and specific feedback through the hundreds of questions we will do together. We will create a study plan to help you achieve your target score.

Let's go!

Perfect! Richard is a great guy and an amazing teacher. I needed to improve my English speaking for IELTS, but nobody could tell me what I needed to work on. Richard quickly identified what I was missing and helped me focus on it. The lessons were very fun, friendly, and practical. I would definitely recommend Richard as an English tutor.

Richard helped me to improve my English knowledge to get my dream job in Australia.

I feel more confident to speak and people can understand me easier.

I wish I had a teacher like him earlier, instead of those time wasters!!

Richard's Video

Find out more about Richard

Did you grow up speaking this language? Or were you inspired by a trip abroad, an individual or a certain aspect of the culture?
Yes, I am a native English speaker, born and raised in Australia.
Can you name a living, historical or fictional character that you think is the emblematic representative of the language's culture?
Fictional character Frasier Crane from the comedy sitcom 'Frasier' is extremely articulate and witty. He is a Harvard graduate and often corrects other people's grammar, which is ironic given that the actor who plays him is Kelsey Grammar. Fraiser was modelled on Orson Welles, a highly intelligent filmmaker and actor.
Is there a typical word, phrase, tradition or expression in the language that you particularly like?
Puns and other wordplay. "I have a split personality," said Tom, being frank.
Why does speaking this language matter to you?
I can communicate with friends, family and new people in different countries, which is important because I love travelling.
What is the main difficulty in learning this language and what can help the process of learning?
Pronunciation. Practice with a native teacher who gives you immediate feedback and shows you the right techniques.
Provide a valuable anecdote related to your language learning or your days at school.
When I was doing a classroom lesson to get my CELTA certificate, everyone started laughing when they realised why I spent 5 minutes helping them pronounce "sheet" correctly 😉
How has travel or a specific trip helped you to increase your skill and knowledge of the language?
I lived in Europe for 2 years (2014-2015) and taught in a language school. I learned other languages myself and I met many students and friends from different countries. That helped me to teach grammar and pronunciation the best way depending on the student's native tongue.

Fun General English. IELTS and PTE. 10+ years experience. CELTA and Cert IV qualifications. Native English teacher.
