Your tutor

British English teaching without the fuss.

I’m Roy, a British English tutor from Bedford, England. I really enjoy helping learners become more confident with the English they use in real life — not just English they recognise in a textbook. My aim is to make lessons clear, relaxed and useful, so you leave each session feeling that you can actually use what you have learned.

Whether you want to speak more naturally, improve your British pronunciation, strengthen your grammar, build better vocabulary or prepare for IELTS or TOEIC, I’ll work with you step by step around your own goals. What matters to me is progress you can notice: longer answers, clearer speech, fewer repeated mistakes and more confidence using English outside the lesson.
