About me
Hi! I’m Simon, an Australian 🇦🇺 TEFL-certified English specialist. I help learners build confidence, fluency, and independence. So you can stop translating and start thinking in English naturally.
I’m a patient and approachable tutor who creates a supportive, encouraging environment where you feel comfortable from your very first lesson. At the same time, I stay goal-focused, helping you make clear, consistent progress toward your objectives.
I speak with an Australian 🇦🇺 accent, but I teach US 🇺🇸, UK 🇬🇧, and AU 🇦🇺 English. I explain the differences clearly so you can communicate confidently in any context.
Outside of teaching, I enjoy working out, travelling, trying new foods, and watching F1/UFC. 🏋️♂️✈️🍔🏎️🥊
I’m a qualified English teacher with a TEFL certification and various specialised certifications, all available to view in the certification section below. I’ve taught thousands of lessons and helped hundreds of students achieve real results. From building confidence and fluency to passing important exams, advancing in their careers, succeeding in job interviews, communicating confidently while travelling, and moving abroad.
With this expertise, my lessons are structured, engaging, and adaptable to your level, pace, and goals. I combine clear explanations, practical tips, and consistent feedback so you always understand what you’re learning and why. I stay goal-focused in every lesson, while remaining patient and supportive throughout your learning process.
I specialise in the following areas:
➡️ Confidence & Fluency 🗣️ → speak naturally without translating, have real conversations, and express yourself clearly
➡️ Business & Academic English 💼🎓 → communicate clearly and effectively for work or studies
➡️ Exam Preparation 📝 → IELTS, PTE, TOEFL iBT, TOEIC, OET, DET
➡️ Accent Work 🎧 → sound more neutral, American, British, or Australian
➡️ Job & Immigration Interview Preparation 🤝 → give structured, confident answers and communicate clearly in high-pressure situations
➡️ Travel & Conversational English 🌍 → understand native speakers, talk to locals, make friends, and feel confident in real-world situations
I work with:
➡️ Beginners (A0–A2) 🌱 → patient, step-by-step explanations (in Portuguese or Spanish if needed)
➡️ Intermediate (B1–B2) 📈 → structured and engaging lessons to build fluency and confidence
➡️ Advanced (C1–C2) 🚀 → engaging full English immersion with precise feedback for refinement
If your goal is to improve your English in a clear, structured, and motivating way, whether for work, exams, travel, or everyday conversations, I’d love to help you succeed.

I highly recommend Simon as a LearnZone teacher. In just four lessons, he provided me with all the information I needed to approach the PTE test with confidence and peace of mind. His advice and strategies were clear, practical, and extremely helpful in understanding how to tackle each part of the exam effectively. Thanks to his guidance, I feel much more prepared and confident. Highly recommended!

Even with a few classes, Simon helped me a lot to reach my goal and made me improve in key areas of my speaking so I could pass the OET exam. He is very supportive and attentive. I will always be grateful to him.
