Hello everyone, my name is Carl. My home town is Bristol in the UK, which is also home to Banksy, Massive Attack, Wallace & Gromit. I have been working as a teacher of English for 20 years in various countries, both face to face and online.
I have extensive experience teaching preparation courses for IELTS and Cambridge examinations (FCE, CAE, CPE), and keep abreast of the developments and changes made to those testing systems over time. I also have considerable experience teaching English for business, finance, banking, presentations, human resources, sales, marketing, hospitality and medicine, and previously worked as both a teacher trainer and methodologist. I also work as a freelance translator and editor: translating texts from Russian to English, and proofreading articles and academic papers for numerous clients.
I see teaching as a two-way process, and enjoy learning from my students as much as imparting knowledge to them. I am results-oriented, and derive pleasure from being able to help others achieve their dreams and ambitions. I also believe that studying should above all be an enjoyable process, so having fun is most important in my lessons.
I look forward to meeting you, helping you to realize your personal and professional goals, and having lots of fun while doing so!

In the fall of 2015 I had the great opportunity to be taught by Mr. Carl. We connected so well that we became great friends. He was always determined to improve his teaching skills, and so would constantly find innovative ways to develop my speaking and listening skills since those were the main aspects I was focused on.
Mr. Carl provided essential English Language tips that further helped me improve my writing, analytical and debating skills.
One of the most impressive aspects of Mr. Carl's teaching is his demeanor with students. He was able to convey information on a wide variety of topics while maintaining a high academic standard, a great sense of humor and a positive atmosphere in the classroom.

Carl is a great teacher who cares for his students and addresses their individual needs. He has helped me to build confidence in speaking and writing in English. Being good at explaining concepts and rules, he communicates clearly and answers all questions thoroughly. While he creates a comfortable learning environment, his passion for teaching makes his lessons engaging and fun.

Все уроки Карла были очень интересными, красочными и познавательными - весь полученный материал усваивался легко и быстро на уроке. И не было необходимости заучивать его. Как известно, заученный, но не понятный материал, надолго не задерживается в голове. А тот материал, который был понят от и до, благодаря грамотной и профессиональной техники преподавания, запоминается на всю жизнь. Именно такие уроки были у Карла. Время на уроке пролетало быстро, незаметно и каждый раз хотелось его продолжения. Каждый урок ждали с нетерпением, интересом, все ученики приходили вовремя для того, чтобы не пропустить ни минуты. Все уроки проходили на английском языке и было понятно абсолютно все, что говорил Карл, так как все предложения, слова.. были произнесены четко, с правильной интонацией и без проглатывания окончаний. Карл - самый лучший, грамотный, профессиональный преподаватель. Хотите выучить английский язык быстро, надолго и качественно, делайте правильный выбор, Карл именно тот преподаватель, который Вам нужен.

I really enjoyed my lessons with Carl. My main goal was to speak English more fluently, and Carl made sure that we had plenty of interesting topics to talk about – which helped me to overcome my fear of speaking in a foreign language and making mistakes, while at the same time not deviating from the course. Our lessons were informative, educational and fun.

Carl Whetham is one of the best teachers I have ever had. His lessons were always extremely interesting owing to his extensive general knowledge, awareness about global issues, intelligence and great sense of humour. With his help, I was able to attain a higher level of English in just a few months in the most fascinating way possible.

When selecting a teacher for the IELTS course I had certain requirements: academic style of teaching, highly experienced, friendly, and familiarity with examination materials. All of my requirements and even more I found on the lesson with Carl. He wasn't merely my IELTS teacher; we had very interesting discusions about politics, psychology, different countries and cultures – which was very beneficial in improving my confidence and level of English. After my experience I always highly recommend Carl to other students.

Carl is very skilled educator, as well as being a friendly and positive person. He is not only an English teacher, but also a very erudite person with whom you can discuss any topic. After just a few lessons with Carl I felt that I had noticeably improved my English knowledge, and I'm continuing my studies because I'm extremely satisfied with the results. I recommend Carl 100%.

Over recent years I have attempted several times to overcome my apprehension when speaking English. One of the last was a two-month intensive speaking course with Carl in 2019. This amazing experience was especially important for me to regain my self-confidence and communicate freely in an English-speaking environment. Besides improving language and communication skills, within our small and diverse community there was a particularly friendly atmosphere, where we used to discuss many interesting topics. This short period connected with Carl's classes was one of the most important experiences in my life, encouraging me to form and maintain new friendships, as well as to plan future individual classes for improving my Business English skills. Dear Carl, thank you very much for being such a good friend and teacher.

Carl's lessons were a great comfort to me. When we first got in touch he listened carefully to me, found out my needs, and then chose appropriate materials. During our lessons he explained everything clearly, and was very patient and attentive. We often discussed different issues together, which was a wonderful way to improve my speaking skills.

It has been a privilege to know Carl Whetham and to have been one of his students. Carl utilised various approaches and methods to make the whole process of learning engaging and more enjoyable. The conversations we had were informative and interesting; we were always encouraged to participate in discussions, and each and every lesson was interactive and unique. During his lessons Carl managed to maintain a positive and friendly environment, and for this reason the classes were never an obligation but a friendly reunion.

Carl is a great teacher and a master at bonding with people younger than him. His range of knowledge and understanding combined with his pedagogical approach helps students to be more interested in what he is teaching and more confident in their own abilities.
Carl showed me that there is nothing scary about speaking in English, and that it is actually easy to master.
I think he is one of the greatest teachers that ever existed, but you don't have to listen to me: you can see it for yourself.
