Language Qualifications
- English Philology - University of Opole
- M Ed. Masters Degree - Applied Linguistics
Qualifying in English Philology at the University of Opole, Poland, I started my English language teaching career in Polish state secondary schools, before making the switch to teaching business management in the private sector. I furthered my studies, gaining an M.Ed Masters Degree in Applied Linguistics in the UK.
I have lived and worked in Canada, travelled extensively whilst working on international cruise ships, and met my partner Philip when we both lived in London, England. I have a love for travelling and foreign culture, I am a keen practitioner of natural health and therapies and enjoy family life with my children, pet cat and doberman at home in the UK.
I have a sincere passion for English as a second language and throughout my years have developed a pragmatic and results focused methodology for teaching which has proven successful… student after student.
I deliver English grammar classes in a stress-free, friendly environment, making students feel comfortable to learn and confident to speak, from beginners to advanced business level.

Language Qualifications

Having worked in a variety of roles across several industries and travelled to 50+ countries to date, I bring a wealth of professional and personal experience to my conversation classes.
A native Englishman, I previously lived in Poland with my partner Agnieszka and our children, where we set up our language company (formerly know as English Business Services). Currently living back in the UK, I run my own independent company alongside my continued teaching partnership with LingCorp.
I have a life-long passion for travelling, I love meeting new people and enjoy learning from foreign cultures and different perspectives. I am knowledgable in a wide range of interests and subjects, from science and technology, international industry, business and finance, to global economics, geopolitics and beyond.
 Innately inquisitive and communicative, I provide a dynamic and stimulating environment for genuine conversation, within a framework of proper grammar usage, new vocabulary building and thought-provoking subject matters.
Conversation classes have always been a great passion for me and I bring my enthusiasm to each and every class.
How we work
Learning a second language in the private business sector, we believe a client-centric and flexible approach is required to fulfil the individual needs and goals of each student.
When you first get in touch, we will have chat about your current language level, your needs, ambitions and availability, so we can devise a development plan to suit your requirements.
Our grammar and native conversation classes work independently, so you can modify your path as you progress, involving more grammar classes if you are a beginner to lower-intermediate level speaker, to more conversation classes if you are already a little familiar with conventional grammar usage… or even if you just need to practice that important business presentation you have next week!
Whatever your needs, we do our best to accommodate and give you everything you need to become a fluent and confident communicator in English.
English Langauge... FACTS!
Most average adult English speakers know between 20,000–35,000 words.
Approximately 1.7 billion people speak English as a primary, auxiliary, or business language. This is about 1 in 7 people on Earth.
More people in the world have learned English as a second language than there are native English speakers.
The word “good-bye” is a contraction of “God be with ye.”
Shakespeare added 1,700 words to the English language during his lifetime.
There is not one single document or manuscript penned by William Shakespeare to prove his existence… nothing! It is purported the works were actually written by Christopher Marlowe, a famous Elizabethan playwright and Royal secret agent. Think… James Bond’s antecedent, armed with a quill and thesaurus!
