"I was very pleased having lessons with Alvin Baker for 1 year, he has perfect English (as a native), with a traditional, very clear London accent (that you might hear on any BBC TV show). Never had any problem understanding him. Besides, he has quite a logical and intelligent mind, which makes it easy to follow his lessons. He has a brilliant sense of English humour that helped a lot to get along much quicker and make our lessons more entertaining, at the same time, it brings a sense of British culture, if you would like to understand natives not only verbally but mentally as well. Must admit Alvin has a lot of nice hobbies, which could help to widen the range of topics during learning sessions. I would say, if your goal isn't only the English language, but also cultural and intellectual, mind-provoking conversations, Alvin would definitely challenge your mind."

I achieved a high level of satisfaction with the training; the course was well-organised and delivered effectively. My primary goal was to improve my spoken English, and I now feel significantly more confident engaging in conversations on a range of topics. Alvin motivated me to study business-related themes and gain insights into the UK job market. I now feel I’m ready to start my job search.

Alvin is an outstanding teacher who combines his experience as an editor with his passion for English and football. He doesn’t just teach “basic English” but helps learners use accurate, natural expressions that are essential in real-life situations. For athletes, especially football players aiming to play abroad, his lessons are practical and motivating. At the same time, for everyday learners—whether for travel, work, or daily communication—he provides clear, engaging lessons tailored to each goal. Learning with Alvin means gaining both confidence and real progress in English.
Harumi, Tokyo, August 2025
I have been taking lessons with Alvin for half a year, usually once or twice a week. He is consistently punctual, yet flexible when needed, and always approaches our sessions with kindness and friendliness. His mastery of the language, as a native Briton, makes every lesson highly valuable. Our focus has been on improving my conversational skills, and he ensures that we always find engaging and interesting topics to discuss. The exchange is both effective and enjoyable, and I believe it has been mutually rewarding.

I take English conversation classes with Alvin, who is not only a great teacher but also a wonderful conversationalist. The lessons are relaxed, enjoyable, and often filled with humor, which makes learning feel natural and fun. I always feel comfortable speaking, and our conversations help me improve my listening skills and fluency without pressure. Each class is like a friendly exchange, and I can clearly notice the progress I’m making.

And once this part is fixed, your work will be complete. Thank you so much for everything up until now. This poetic and artistic translation would not have been possible without you 🥲
Meiko, Hokkaido P, Japan
Thanks for everything. I know you are an excellent teacher, and I already miss your elegant British accent… 😂
Chika Nikumura, Kyoto, Japan
Alvin is a very easy person to talk to and a great conversation starter.
Yasushi, Tokyo, May 2025
I received excellent training from Alvin and learnt a lot of idiomatic English and phrasal verbs. His teaching style is dynamic, and he is a great conversationalist.
Sergei, London, March 2025
I appreciated how calm the class was and how much more focused the conversation was on the class than on completing assignments.
Tanahashi, Japan, May25
Thanks for the lesson as usual. I still need to practise expanding the topic and also try not to use exact numbers. I appreciate your feedback. For the part 3 [IELTS] questions, it was hard to answer these questions. I will try to elaborate on my answer.
Ray, Tokyo, July 2025
This course changed everything for me. I can finally communicate with my manager without any misunderstandings." The section on contract negotiation was invaluable – I used to hate speaking in public. This programme is a must for anyone
Take, Osaka, May 2025.
Thank you very much, Mr. Alvin, for the excellent lesson. I really enjoyed some of your jokes. Today we talked about experiential travel. Recently, this type of experiential travel has been increasing in Japan as well. This types of trips is a wonderful and memorable one. In my case, my experiences of rafting and horse riding in Australia have left a lasting impression. See you next time.
Yoshi, Tokyo
Thank you for today's lesson. He spoke at a good pace for me and listened carefully. He made a calm and kind atmosphere, so I felt relaxed. I enjoyed the lesson.

Thank you very much for your good lesson! I hope to see you very soon!

I learned a lot from your clear explanation. I was also very happy to see the cute white cat you introduced me to. Thank you.
Marie, June 2025
It was my first time speaking with a native speaker so I was a bit nervous, but they spoke slowly and I was able to do my best. Thank you!
