Conversational English. Let's have fun! English lessons for work and travel and having fun ;)

Hello, my name is Tony, I’m from 🇬🇧 London 🇬🇧 and I’d love to be your English teacher! I'm not your average teacher; I'm a sailor who lives on a boat in Normandy, France.
I have just completed writing my first novel, which I’m now trying to get published. I'm also working on my second novel. My life has been engulfed by the English language!

If you want to improve your conversation skills, feel more confident speaking English, or simply enjoy learning in a creative, engaging way, I’m here to help. I can offer customised lessons tailored to your needs, interests, and goals, making each session fun and practical. How do I tailor lessons just for you? After I get to know you - I use an AI (artificial intelligence) programme to come up with a set of lessons best suited to your needs. How do I make the lessons fun? Wait and see!

I think audio books are a great way to learn English in your spare time. But make sure the narrator has an accent you like! I have some great recommendations for audio books, with amazing English narrators.

Reading and discussing poetry is an elegant way for advanced students to study English (ESL). 'The Built Moment' by Lavinia Greenlaw is the book I currently use for class reading and discussions.

Extra information

We can meet at your residence in Cherbourg - if you live close to the marina. I also teach online. For reading I will recommend books we can read together according to your ability.

About Me

Hello, my name is Tony, I’m from 🇬🇧 London 🇬🇧 currently living on a boat in 🇫🇷 Normandy, and I’d love to be your English teacher! I'm not your average teacher; I'm a sailor who lives on a boat and have just completed writing my first novel, which I’m now working to get published.

My first novel was written during lockdown and I didn't give any thought to the precise market I was writing for - so my second novel will be a lot better planned. Agents ask you questions like, "Name 3 books published in the last ten years that are similar to yours." LOL my last book was inspired by books written in the 1970's.

In the 90's I was a filmmaker. My biggest success was selling a half hour documentary on hats to BBC1 after it won a film competition judged by Malcolm Mclaren.

As an ex-filmmaker it's my duty to watch lots of movies and T.V. shows on Netflix and Amazon and Apple. I wonder if we have the same tastes?!

Education

I have grade 'A' English Language and English Literature GCSE's. And I studied Film at the Vancouver Film School in Canada. And over the years I have collected many sailing qualifications.

Experience / Qualifications

I am registered to teach English online and irl. I have been teaching English (ESL) since September 2024. Teaching is about listening and communicating clearly.

Reviews (1)

Since I've been taking conversation lessons with Anthony, I've become much more comfortable speaking. His attentive listening, impressive general knowledge, and sense of humor make each session both enjoyable and educational. What I value most is his ability to adapt to my needs, provide personalized advice, and his flexibility with both scheduling and the topics we cover. If you're looking for a teacher who will help you improve while making it fun, don’t hesitate to reach out— you won’t be disappointed!

Kevin
Non-academic Latin lessons. Multilingual teacher with 9 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, conceptual semantics.
Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart. I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Learn the schedules by heart. 2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results. Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind. I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics. What will not be the subject of the course: learn lists of verbs; learn lists of nouns with their gender; learn words with their translations; memory card game; doing school exercises; follow the program in a notebook; impose French grammar on the Latin language. What matters to me in particular: motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm; encourage creativity; make friends with language; letters and their sounds strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop; teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart; explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible; breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ; place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice. In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy. I look forward to meeting you.
