Hello! I'm Barney, a Native English Teacher from the UK. I'm a law graduate, and hold the Trinity Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (Cert TESOL). I've been teaching English in Hong Kong for over 14 years, and have lots of experience with teaching students aged from 4 to 18, and adults. I've taught primary and secondary students for the English Schools Foundation, and been a Visiting Lecturer at HK Polytechnic University, teaching the Graduate Diploma in Business English and English for Academic Studies.

I've prepared students for many different exams including Cambridge YLE, HKDSE, and BULATS. I've also written courses in creative writing, and worked as a freelance writer for educational publishers such as Oxford University Press.

If you're a student, I can help you with everything from basic phonics to preparation for your HKDSE exams. Let's work together to get you to the next level and realize your dreams!

If you're an adult learner, I can work with you to improve your English for business. Before becoming an English teacher, I spent 8 years working at the BBC, including in management and analysis. So I can help you greatly with writing and presenting in English in the workplace.
