I’m Richard and I am the creator of Britlish, my virtual language school.
I am a native British English speaking teacher of English as a foreign language. I have lived in Seville, Spain since 2003.
I have been teaching since I passed my CELTA (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) in 2003, here in Seville, Spain. I have taught in classrooms, in summer schools, in private homes, in businesses and, since 2009, exclusively online using Skype.
I create video English lessons regularly, and have millions of views on my YouTube channels and thousands of subscribers.
I write eBooks and online courses which you can find here.
I am a professional writer, having been published in numerous magazines and newspapers since 1984. I am also a keen, semi-professional photographer, and use my photographs in my books, my articles and my websites. I also blog about food on my Eat Seagan website.
Britlish provides a growing library of English language learning materials for students around the world. Some of it free and some of it you can buy for the price you want to pay.
I have become a proficient web developer, too. I did so because I am too poor as an English teacher to pay someone an expert to do the work for me, and so had to learn how to do everything myself. It’s the same with video editing, too.
If you want to take private classes with me, wherever you are, register today. Technology means that distance is no longer an object to finding a good language teacher.
You are an excellent teacher, Richard.
I am looking for an animated Raold Dahl movie that was posted on your site called The Pig. I was disappointed that it had been taken down. Can you tell me where I can find a copy of it? And who the reader was. It was very clever and the reader marvelous.
Hi Carmile,
Sorry, that video is no longer available through my YouTube channel. The copyright holder for the poem, Little Dot Family, issued a copyright infringement notice against the video so I was obliged to remove it from my YouTube channel. I dare say that Roald himself would have approved of it, but he’s no longer with us. As for the reader, it was me. I was the animator, too. If only I had also written the poem, it could have stayed on YouTube, but, sadly, I lack the genius of Dahl.
However, I have now uploaded it to my Vimeo channel and you can find the poem and video on this site again: http://wp.me/p6tmHQ-766
