About Peter

Hello, and welcome. I'm Peter O'Loughlin.

I'm an English teacher, author and interview coach with more than fifteen years of experience helping learners from around the world improve their English and communicate with confidence.

Every lesson is personalised around your individual goals. Whether you're preparing for a job interview, improving your conversational English, studying for IELTS or developing your professional communication, my aim is to help you use English with greater fluency, clarity and confidence.

Before becoming a full-time English teacher, I worked in management and recruitment, giving me first-hand experience of professional communication, leadership and the skills employers value. This practical business background allows me to combine language coaching with real-world insight that many English teachers cannot offer.

Alongside teaching, I've written a range of practical English learning books designed to help learners build confidence through real-world communication. My books focus on clear explanations, practical strategies and English that can be applied immediately in everyday, academic and professional situations.

I believe the most effective learning happens in a relaxed, supportive environment where every lesson is engaging, practical and tailored to the individual. My goal is not simply to help you improve your English, but to give you the confidence and communication skills to achieve your personal, academic and professional goals.

Outside teaching, I have a lifelong interest in psychology, history, philosophy, business and personal development. I enjoy bringing these interests into my lessons whenever appropriate, creating conversations that are engaging, thought-provoking and enjoyable. I believe that when learning is relevant, interesting and personalised, progress comes naturally.
