Bespoke 1-to-1 coaching from a tutor with real corporate experience. Whether you need boardroom English or a university place — I'll get you there.
There's a moment every English learner faces. You reach a level where you can communicate — you can hold a conversation, write an email, get your point across. But you know something is missing.
The subtlety. The precision. The ability to express complex ideas with real confidence. You understand everything, yet somehow you still don't sound like you do.
That gap between intermediate and truly advanced — between functional and exceptional — is exactly what English with Rudy is designed to close.
“I've had many teachers, and Ruairidh is definitely one of the best. His classes are well prepared, and I always learn new vocabulary and phrases. He helps me sound more natural. 100% recommended!”

My full name is Ruairidh — I'm Scottish, based in London, and I've spent my career working across corporate finance, the music industry, corporate fitness, and hospitality. That real-world experience is exactly what makes my teaching different.
I don't teach English from a textbook. I teach the English that actually gets used — in boardrooms, in negotiations, in client dinners, in job interviews. The kind of language that opens doors and builds credibility.
I hold a Level 5 TEFL and every single one of my verified Preply reviews is 5 stars. I'm selective about who I work with because I want every student to get real results — not just more lessons.
My background isn't just teaching — it's living and working in the real world. Here's what that means for you.
Having worked in corporate finance and the music industry in London, I know exactly how language functions at a professional level — the formality, the register, the subtle signals that tell people you belong in the room.
Book Business English →The English taught in classrooms and the English used in London offices, negotiations, and social settings are often completely different. I bridge that gap — teaching the language that actually works in the situations you face.
Watch free lessons →I work with a limited number of students at a time. That means every session is tailored to you, your goals, and your industry. 17 students have given me a 5-star review on Preply. I'd like to make it 18.
Book your free session →The first session is free. No commitment, no pressure. Just a conversation about your English goals and how to get there.
