 Your English, Your Way: 
Improve Speaking and Listening with Confidence!

👋
Hi, I’m Paul.

I help adults speak and understand English more clearly — for real life, work, or IELTS.

​

✅ No big classes


✅ No grammar lectures


✅ Just real conversation that builds real confidence

​

My lessons are designed around your needs and goals

flexible, friendly, and focused on what matters to you.

​

You’ll learn how English is really spoken in Australia

and improve your speaking and listening skills through real conversation, not grammar lectures.

​

​This includes the everyday language Aussies use

from small talk and workplace conversations to slang, idioms, and IELTS preparation.

​

With years of experience teaching adults, I know that natural conversations (not textbooks) make the biggest difference.

​

Let’s improve your English — your way.

💬 Why I’m Committed to Adult English Coaching

✅ I help adults speak more naturally in real conversations.

 

I’ve helped adults improve their English since 2011

from job-seeking workshops to aged care training and beyond.

​

Many learners told me they struggled to express themselves clearly in real life.


I saw how language barriers caused stress, confusion, and missed opportunities.

​

That’s why I now specialise in speaking and listening coaching for adults

so learners feel more confident in everyday conversations, interviews, and the workplace.

​

I’ve taught students from Mackay, the Whitsundays, and across regional Queensland, helping them:

​

✅ Feel more confident speaking and understanding English in real life

​

✅ Understand Aussie English

​​

✅ Build confidence for work, life or IELTS

​

I’ve taught English at Bond University College while completing my Master of Arts in TESOL

so I bring both academic training and real-world experience to every lesson.

​

I believe real improvement comes from personalised coaching, not textbook drills.


Every lesson is tailored to your voice, your goals, and your

real-life needs.

​

Because every small step — like speaking up in a meeting or chatting at a BBQ

is a big win.
