Hi, I'm Julian. I'm an experienced CELTA-qualified English language teacher and professional writing coach. I teach English right here in Richmond to other students just like you. Since training with world renowned schools International House and Education First in 2010, I have helped hundreds of students over the last 6 years as both a one-to-one English language tutor and academic proofreader. My students have gone on to achieve exciting things with their English. One of my former students now conducts interviews with English-speaking musicians for a popular magazine in Argentina while another is working as a sommelier at a restaurant in central London. I really enjoy working with all kinds of students to help them improve their English skills and achieve their life goals. It's my absolute privilege to teach such a fascinating and diverse group of individuals. I will work hard to make sure you succeed too! It's my job and I love it.

I have taught English for companies such as Education First and Edventure Plus which provide fully immersive English language programs for overseas students in the UK. Over the course of several years, I had experience teaching groups of new arrivals the specific vocational language they would need to achieve success in their Erasmus work placements. I know what it feels like to study, work, and write assignments in a foreign language. As a student of four foreign languages myself (French, Russian, Arabic and Mandarin Chinese), I am able to offer my students plenty of strategies that have worked for me.
The last two summers gave me an opportunity to develop strong mentoring skills. I managed a pastoral care team which provided support and guidance to students at a language school in the UK. I am familiar with the kinds of challenges students face both academically and socially when they move to a new country. As someone who has studied and taught in unfamiliar places like Egypt (Cairo) and China (Tianjin), I can understand the needs of students as they learn new langua
