Helping You Master English with
Structure, Strategy, & Support
Online English Tutor & Career Language Coach
Hi, I’m Marie Richards — an English Language Coach, educator, and communication strategist who has helped over 13,000 students around the world feel confident using English at work, in school, and in life.
I hold two Master’s degrees—one in Education, and the other in Applied Linguistics from Texas A&M University, and I bring over 25 years of experience in U.S. and U.K. corporate environments. I’ve taught high school students working toward university admissions, business professionals prepping for boardroom presentations, and global leaders refining their negotiation and interview skills.
What Sets My Teaching Apart?
Most language programs give you random lessons. I give you a roadmap.
Each student I work with begins with a personalized project plan—whether it's passing IELTS, preparing for a job interview, or finally becoming confident in team meetings. We define the outcome, break it into weekly goals, and track your progress.
This isn't ONLY tutoring. It’s language coaching with results.
My Background and Education
Master’s Degrees in Education & Applied Linguistics (Texas A&M University)
Certified in TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language)
25+ years of experience across corporate and international business roles (U.S. & U.K.)

My Goal:
To deliver lessons that aren’t random or routine—but tailored to YOU. Each session is a mini-project designed to move you closer to your biggest goals.
Why It Works
I follow a project-based learning approach—inspired by my training as a certified project manager (PMI). Every lesson is a mini-project with a goal, an action plan, and a result. No more guessing. No more wasted time. Just steady, measurable growth.
