Ruairidh M.

Hi! I’m Ruairidh — though most of my students find "Rudy" a little easier to say.

I’m a native speaker from South East England, and I specialize in English that actually works in the real world. Whether you’re prepping for a big board meeting, a job interview, or just want to feel more confident in everyday conversation, I’m here to help.

My background isn't just in grammar books; I spent years working in London across corporate finance, the music industry, and hospitality. I’ve been in the rooms you’re preparing for, which means our lessons will be based on real-world experience, not just textbook theory.

What I offer:

🏆 Business English (my speciality) — Formality & politeness, negotiation & sales, management & leadership, interview skills, and professional writing. Perfect for professionals who need English that works under pressure.

🎓 IELTS & TOEFL + UK University Prep — Full exam preparation across all four skills, plus academic writing, UK university culture, and the everyday British English you'll need for student life.

🗣️ British (RP) Pronunciation Mastery — Targeted work on the sounds, stress patterns, and rhythm of British English, that will make you sound more like a native and always be clearly understood.

📚 General English (B1–C2) — Structured courses at every level, from intermediate through to near-native proficiency.

Outside the classroom, I love travelling, music, rock climbing, snowboarding, and riding my motorbike — so if you ever want to practise English through topics you actually care about, we'll never run out of material!

Let's talk about your goals and find the right course for you!

I hold a Level 5 TEFL Diploma (168 hours) and studied English Language at A level at a Grammar School in Kent in the South East of England.

I bring patience, enthusiasm, and genuine care to every session. My lessons are practical and interactive — structured enough to drive real progress, relaxed enough to feel like a conversation with a friend. I give gentle, constructive corrections that build your confidence rather than shake it.

Together, we'll unlock the beauty of English! With personalized lessons, you'll gain confidence and speak clearly, all while having fun. Let’s embark on this exciting journey to achieve your language goals and enjoy every step along the way!
