Филип Саймон

I’m Philip, a former UK Politician, Political Consultant & Entrepreneur with over a decade of frontline political experience—drafting policy, interrogating ministers, and presenting live on BBC and Sky News, as well as appearing on a number of Russian TV Stations. In Westminster I learned that words win arguments; now I help students win opportunities. Teaching English as a Foreign Language, I design immersive lessons drawing on authentic materials: parliamentary transcripts for advanced reading, press-conference clips for listening, and mock committee hearings for speaking drills.

Living in Moscow since 2025, I’ve built cultural fluency in Russian work and social environments, enabling me to pinpoint the specific pronunciation, syntax, and vocabulary hurdles Russian speakers face. My specialties include:

1. Professional & Business English – Craft executive briefings and persuasive pitches.
2. Exam Preparation – Proven strategies for IELTS, TOEFL, and Cambridge tests.
3. Public-Speaking Coaching – From nervous to natural with debate-tested techniques.

Outside the classroom you’ll find me guest-speaking at universities, commenting on international relations, or discovering the best pelmeni in town. Join me to transform your English with the precision of a parliamentarian and the empathy of a fellow expat.
