Tutoring
Steve has a really nice manner about him and engages my son really well during Spanish lessons. He always comes very well prepared with interesting materials and has really helped my son understand the language. Would highly recommend.

Tutoring
Steve has been tutoring my 6 year old grandson to help improve his reading and writing skills. After only 4 sessions I have seen a great improvement. Steve has been patient and sessions have been tailored around grandsons skill levels. I would recommend Steve to others that require additional help in these areas. More...

Steve is very relaxed and extremely patient . I have had about eight lessons and progress is good (I think🙂). Happy to recommend Steve to any aspiring guitarist.
What do you love most about your job?
I love connecting with people, helping them, and seeing them grow in their skills and confidence.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have always loved teaching and helping people, and I wanted to put my natural ability, my passion and my qualifications to good use. I knew there would be many people out there needing a tutor.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am a very personable and patient teacher, an excellent listener, and good at understanding people and their needs. I have a love for languages and music, and a natural ability in both. I have been teaching and tutoring in many ways and with all sorts of people over the past 20 years - in Thailand and the UK, with people from every continent (except North America!) and of all ages: 4 to 50+
I have qualifications in science (from university) and arts as well as English language teaching, and have played guitar since primary school. In terms of other languages, I have lived in Thailand for over a decade (though English is my first language), and I have studied French and Spanish for a number of years.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes, I do most of my tutoring and interpreting online, though I still do them in person as well.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
If anyone is still concerned about Covid, we can have lessons keeping a bigger distance, or outdoors, or online.
