JOHN

Hi, I’m John — and I’ve been teaching English for many years. I love this language: its rhythm, its quirks, and especially its idioms. But what I enjoy most is helping people feel confident when they speak English.

My teaching journey began in Zaragoza, Spain. It was a fantastic first year — full of learning, fun, and a real love for the job. Since then, I’ve taught in schools across Dublin and trained professionals in workplaces all over Ireland. I have created schools and designed courses.

From business English to everyday conversation, I’ve worked with learners from many different backgrounds. I’ve always focused on helping people understand and use natural English — especially phrasal verbs and idioms.

Teaching gives me energy. It takes focus and empathy, but it’s always worth it. I believe the right explanation can unlock English for anyone.

That’s why I created Listen to Advance — to make idiomatic English clear, useful, and fun to learn.

Enjoy the beautiful Friday! #goodweather☀️ #brittasbay

In today’s digital world, the number of online platforms promising to help you “master English fast” is almost overwhelming. From colourful apps with daily streaks to language games that reward you with points and gems, the internet is packed with choices. But if you’ve been using these tools for a while, you might be asking yourself: Am I actually learning English—or just playing games?

Which English Online Course Is Best?

If you've ever asked yourself this question — "Which English course should I choose?" — you're not alone. With so many online options available, it can be hard to know which one is the best. The truth is, the best course is the one that fits your goals, your lifestyle, and your learning style — and most importantly, one that you actually stick to.

Phrasal Verbs are Easy!

Ask yourself these two questions:

1.  Do you know every word in English? (Of course not, unless you’ve memorised the dictionary!)

2.  Do you know every phrasal verb in English? (Yes, you do!)

Crazy, right? But it’s true. Native speakers instinctively understand every phrasal verb, even ones they’ve never heard before. So what’s the secret?
