About Me

Hi there! I'm Phil. I've been teaching English for more than 30 years.
For most of that time, I've lived and worked in Thailand, and I'm a fluent Thai speaker. I've worked in universities, language schools and companies and my experience has included teaching students from many other Asian countries.

My approach to teaching is based on what we know about how people learn new languages.
- Learning by Doing. You can't learn how to use a language by memorizing grammar rules or vocabulary lists. You need practice and opportunities for real communication in the ways you want to use English in real life.
- Focus on You. We focus on the language you already have. As you use the language to express yourself, we can look at areas of language, pronunciation and meaning and see what needs some improvement.
- Building Relationships. Most of all, you'll probably be using language to develop relationships at work or socially. We'll also work on the skills you need alongside language to do this successfully.

Using English at work means putting it together with many other skills. To develop your professional skills, it's important to practice language through the tasks and contexts that are part of your work. If you work in an international environment, you may also face cultural issues. As a certified intercultural communication trainer I can help you build your working relationships with colleagues and clients. Skills I can help you with include: Presentations Discussion and Active Listening Intercultural Communication Email Writing Meetings Customer service We can create a program tailored specifically for your needs. My qualifications: MA in Linguistics (TESOL) CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults) Certified intercultural communication trainer (LTS Training, UK) I’ve worked in universities, language schools and local and international companies. Being able to help so many people build up their language and communication skills is something very important to me.

Improve Your Use of English in a Fun and Simple Way
A common excuse that people for whom English is not their first language use to dismiss their inability to speak and use the language well is, 'After all, it's not my language.' Well, it is, if your successfully getting by from day to day depends on it! The English language is unarguably a universal means of communication and the ability to speak and write it well will always give you an advantage in almost every field of endeavour in life - work, school, with your children and at their school; interacting with neighbours or at the shops and so on. You do not, necessarily have to speak with a crisp British accent, but you do need to be able to speak and write with your tenses, verb-subject agreement, spelling, punctuation etc. in place. My class is designed to help you with this and also, get you beyond just the basics of the use of English, by teaching you about and showing you how to use the different parts of speech, language registers and so on. You will also learn how to pronounce words properly. And all of this in a fun and exciting way! The result will be a better command of the English language and greater self-confidence.
