I’m Gregory, a native English speaker from San Diego, California. I spent a very long time traveling around the world to more than 50 countries. I am also a successful non-fiction author. I have so far written six books on business and personal development. You can see some of my work on Amazon. In fact, my last book, Our Global Lingua Franca, was all about my experiences teaching English around the world and what I consider to be major problems with the way we teach English as a foreign language.

I've developed my own English teaching methodology that revolves around getting people immersed in interesting, useful, unusual discussions on things they care about. I often focus on things related to philosophy, psychology, personal development, life coaching, and more. What matters is that it challenges you to start thinking in English in ways you probably don’t have the opportunity to, even if you're already using English in your daily life. I typically like to work with people who have already reached a conversationally fluent level but struggle to go from intermediate or advanced to truly native-like in English.

I have more than ten years of teaching experience in several countries around the world, including East Asia, Eastern Europe, and South America. I am TEFL certified and incredibly well-read on linguistics research pertaining to second language acquisition. The way we think and communicate is my passion. I like to work with students who are at an intermediate or advanced level of English and want to truly master the language but feel frustrated that few teachers can help them excel further.

Beyond general conversation skills, we will cover specific subjects you find most interesting or useful. I tailor the content of our conversations to ability, age, and learning preferences. I will address all aspects of pronunciation, writing, grammar, fossilized bad habits, and oft-ignored cultural nuances to communication to help you achieve near-native English fluency.
