About the tutor

Hi! My name is Ian and I have 10 years of experience. I was born in Ontario, Canada. My father was a writer and I was raised around writers such as Farley Mowat - author of 'Never Cry Wolf' and others.

I have taught in many venues, including teens in government schools as a full-time teacher, language schools as a tutor, children on-line, and in companies where employees were directed to learn business English.

Here’s what I teach:

-Intensive conversation courses

-Exam preparation: Special courses for IELTS and TOEFL exams.

-Business English courses from Elementary to Advanced level

-Wrting Skills

-Accent reduction and pronunciation

-Job Interview preparation

-English for professionals (Medical, Engineering, IT)

-Comprehensive Beginner up to Advanced level General English courses

-English Literature

-English for kids (6 to 12)


I have lots of experience teaching in public schools in Thailand, as well as in language schools and as a coach for business. I want the student to be successful with their English and to accomplish this we will create a concrete course of study with clearly defined goals. I am a native speaker with a university education.


If you’ve got a need to learn more English and do so effectively, I can help. I cover most of the traditional English-learning methods but most significantly I support my students by encouraging and motivating them to achieve their goals. Please be aware that I work at other English schools so that I'm not available all the time. Its always best to contact me about scheduling a lesson.
