About me

Hi, I'm Connor.

I've been teaching English online for 4 years, working with students from all over the world. Somewhere along the way, I fell in love with the part of this job that's easy to overlook — connecting with people from completely different cultures and backgrounds, and helping them find their own confidence in a new language.

I've also travelled extensively and worked across many different industries throughout Australia — from hospitality and cafés to farming and construction — so I know firsthand what workplace English actually looks like in practice, not just in a textbook.

Outside of lessons, you'll usually find me surfing, playing guitar, or planning the next trip somewhere.

What lessons look like

My lessons are relaxed and pressure-free — there's no judgment here, just a comfortable space to practise, make mistakes, and actually enjoy speaking English.

We focus on practical communication rather than memorising grammar rules: speaking naturally, improving pronunciation, expanding vocabulary, and learning the expressions native speakers actually use — tailored to your goals, whether that's work, travel, IELTS, or settling into life in an English-speaking country.

My goal is simple: to help you feel confident using English in the real world, in lessons that feel more like a conversation than a class.

I mainly work with adult learners, but I'm open to teaching motivated teenagers too — get in touch if that's you.

Testimonials

What students say

"Connor tailored everything to my goals — uni small talk, IELTS Band 7 prep. My confidence and speaking consistency have both improved."

VinMaster's student, originally from Taiwan, based in Melbourne, Australia

"Textbooks never gave me real speaking practice — these lessons did. Half conversation, half exploring topics I actually care about, with real corrections along the way. It's completely tailored to me, and it's helped me sound more natural."
