Alexander Penman's teaching platform.

English

Native English speaker. Experienced teacher. Flexible, different methodology. Come discover some genuinely fun activities. I'm Alex — Australian, Master of Teaching, and I've been tutoring languages privately since 2017. 50+ students taught on Superprof (4.9/5 across 39 reviews), plus two years as a language assistant for the Éducation nationale in France and the Ministerio de Educación in Spain. In Madrid I taught Business English to hospital staff and worked in a language school on the side. In Lyon I've been teaching professionals, high-school students, and the occasional grandmother who just wanted to read English books. My classes aren't textbook-driven. They're question-driven and interest-driven. For beginners, we start with "what is fifty minus ten?" in English and build from there. For advanced students, we hunt down the real gaps — the kind of grammar mistakes you've been making for ten years without noticing. Either way, every class mixes structure with play: pattern-hunts, pronunciation races, debates, and real conversations about whatever you actually want to talk about — Brexit, football, your favourite show, the news, your job. I speak English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian, and I'm learning Thai. I know what it feels like to sit on your side of the desk. Book a class. Let's see what we can build.
