Paterson Ewan Alexander

Hi! I’m a native speaker from Great Britain. I’ve worked in a range of settings teaching English, but my main strengths lie in being a great conversationalist able to speak in depth on a range of subjects including science, philosophy, sport and art.

By profession I’m a civil engineer and my hobbies include painting and reading about philosophy. I’m also an accomplished mountaineer and have done a lot of climbing in the mountains of Scotland, and in the Alps.
I’m ready to help students in a range of ways including working through textbooks.

My preferred method of teaching is through conversations where I focus on getting the student to speak as much as possible, picking up on errors while maintaining the naturalness and fluidity of the conversation.
