About me

I began teaching English in Mexico 15 years ago because of an interest in the relationship between language and the mind. My approach to teaching uses this experience and research from the areas of Intercultural Communication, English as a Lingua Franca and Cognitive Linguistics.

If you learn to ride a bike, you have to practise a lot. I think the same is true of communicating in English – you have to communicate a lot. So our lessons will focus on speaking about things most relevant or useful to you. That might be a business function (e.g. presentations, negotiations), social English (e.g. sport, art, politics) or a language issue (e.g. grammar, pronunciation, exams).

I believe the teacher is the language expert and the student is the expert on why they need the language – together they decide what to focus on in the lessons. I hope that by communicating, identifying problems and discussing solutions we can increase your confidence and ability. I look forward to meeting, getting to know, and working with you to improve your communication in English.

When I started my OTUK lesson, I struggled to speak English with my international colleagues at work. Lewis noticed quickly what I missed to manage conversation efficiently. It was not grammar or vocab. I didn’t know how to ask questions to clarify what speakers mean. After a year, my hesitation in speaking English disappeared completely, because I always knew what to do when I felt a little bit uncertain in a conversation. I’ve kept on learning though, because it was precious time for me to explore broad aspects of communication with him. Lewis, thank you very much indeed for awesome two and half years!

Very good lesson. Tasks-homework for the next lesson to do. Suggestions of the teacher of interesting links to presentations, articles etc. should be clear before the lesson, to get it immediately the source for the preparation

His lesson is like having a friendly conversation on a topic of interest to you. There are no more mistakes in your speech — Lewis simply helps you to better express your thoughts and feelings. Widely erudite, well educated, intelligent, with a good sense of humor, empathetic, easily picks up a conversation or leads it when there is a need for it (keeps balance). There is also something that may seem like a minus to someone — since he refrains from evaluations in general, he does not praise you)The best teacher I have ever met.
