About Shaun
Although I firmly believe that students always learn best when they are having fun and enjoying themselves, my approach is at all times entirely professional. In our first class, I will assess your needs and learning style. The materials I use next will be based on that, and carefully prepared in advance. My many years of experience in this job mean I know what it takes for students to pass exams and improve their English, sometimes extremely quickly. I can usually tell any student's level within 15 or, at most, 30 minutes of speaking with them. But I also know that every student is different; every learner has different needs. I keep a completely open mind about what will work best and always listen to feedback, which I encourage from students and parents alike. As a native English speaker brought up in north-west London, I have a classical 'received pronunciation' spoken voice and teach my students how to intone, pronounce and speak correctly. When it comes to writing, my having been an academic editor for the last 15 years gives me great expertise in working interactively with students through Google Docs to guide and improve their work. I always give simple, easy to follow advice which makes all the difference in those all-important exams. My number one skill as a teacher, though, is the empathy and understanding I build with students: motivating and driving them on towards success by building their self-belief and showing that yes, they CAN do it!

I've been teaching English full-time for 15 years, almost entirely online. I use a variety of highly interactive, video-based methods; I don't use books much because I find them boring and outdated. My goal as a teacher is always to provoke your thoughts and creative abilities; and above all, to have fun. A happy student is a good student! I hold Master's and Bachelor's degrees from two prestigious British universities, as well as studying for some years at Oxford University. I also hold a Trinity College, London TESOL teaching qualification. I have very extensive experience successfully preparing hundreds of students for: - B2 First Certificate (FCE) - C2 Cambridge Proficiency (CPE) - C1 Cambridge Advanced (CAE) - International English Language Testing System (IELTS) - International Baccalaureate (IB) I've also guided many students' applications to study in the UK, whether at a university or language institute. In addition, I've helped various students secure vital funding for their studies through, for example, Chevening scholarships. But that's not all I offer. I also teach conversation classes, where we can talk about anything you want and I'll correct and improve your pronunciation, fluency, and listening skills; and I teach Business English to many adults. As well as English, I also teach History at GCSE, A Level, IB and university level; and Politics at A Level, IB and undergraduate level. My academic background is in those areas. The most important things you can bring to class with me are: - An open mind - A sense of humour - A willingness to make mistakes (mistakes are good; no one who has ever learnt anything important did so without making many mistakes along the way) - A reliable internet connection I will provide you with all the materials we need: videos, past exams, pictures, or articles. My students always tell me how much fun I am to work with. Some teachers can be quite authoritarian and old-fashioned. I'm not like that in any way, and promise that classes with me will be enjoyable and rewarding. One other thing: I also love football! So if you want to talk about that, I'm sure I'm the teacher for you. All classes are online only. I teach all ages 13 and upwards, intermediate level and upwards. Classes can be 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 50 minutes or 60 minutes in length. It depends entirely on what suits you, your needs and budget. The first class is free.

Shaun’s classes are incredibly dynamic and enjoyable. He creates a motivating atmosphere, explains clearly, and keeps every session engaging. I truly recommend him—he’s a fantastic teacher.
Shaun is an outstanding editor! Every chapter and journal I have published since becoming a lecturer in 2014 has been reviewed by Shaun. He glides through my work, subtly reworking grammatical mistakes and effortlessly removing some of the wordiness. What is left is a lighter, punchier version that still retains my voice. He is a very skilled practitioner, and I recommend him wholeheartedly.
I’ve been doing conversation classes with Shaun for the last two years, and it’s been great. The topics are varied, but sports and global culture are our favourite! No doubt, the classes helped me a lot and know I feel much more confident.
Shaun has been my English teacher since May, and I truly have no words to describe his quality as a teacher. He always teaches in a creative, comprehensive, and engaging way that motivates students. Unlike other teachers, it's very difficult to get bored in a class with Shaun. He always offers dynamic creative thinking activities that undoubtedly engage us as students.
Shaun helped me refine my spoken and written English in preparation for university applications. We worked one-on-one for a few months, and I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher! Rest assured, Shaun will guide you toward excellence while remaining supportive and funny throughout.

I highly recommend Shaun to the Superprof community.

Shaun is truly a TEACHER. He has the tools, the skills, the quality, and the academic background required to teach effectively. I was not simply looking for a native speaker – which Shaun also happens to be – but rather for a professional with a high level of teaching expertise.
I highly recommend Shaun as a teacher. He is patient, clear, and always well-prepared for each class. His teaching style is dynamic and engaging, which makes learning both enjoyable and effective.

Shaun is an excellent teacher. His lessons go beyond just English, I also learned about culture, history, and even football while improving my language skills. His accent really helped me to understand and feel confident speaking with anyone. I learned a lot from him and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a patient, knowledgeable, and engaging teacher.
I highly recommend Shaun as an English teacher. He is a dedicated professional who goes beyond traditional methods, creating engaging and dynamic lessons. What I value the most is that he does not simply “follow the book” — instead, he encourages meaningful conversations and critical thinking, which makes every class both enjoyable and enriching. His unique approach helps students not only improve their English skills, but also feel more confident using the language in real-life situations.
Shaun is such a great tutor, always focusing on his students’ needs and progress. Always making sure the lessons are enjoyable whilst also ensuring his students achieve their potential. One couldn’t wished for a better teacher!
