Learn English with Bob Tapper

Helping You Speak Better English — for Life, Work, and Everything In Between

​

Hello from Porto, Portugal! I’m Bob Tapper — a native English speaker, experienced professional, and certified TEFL teacher living in this beautiful city.

After more than 30 years working in the business world in the U.S., I understand the importance of clear communication — especially in English. Whether you’re an individual looking to improve your conversational skills, or a business hoping to help your team grow in confidence and fluency, I’m here to help.

​

What I Offer:

​

• Private and Group English Lessons
  Focused on speaking, listening, and building real-world communication skills — whether for travel, daily life, or work.

• English for Business Professionals
  Drawing from my own corporate background, I offer tailored sessions that focus on meetings, presentations, negotiations, networking, and more.

• Customized Corporate Training
  I collaborate with local businesses to help employees improve their English in a way that’s practical, professional, and immediately useful in the workplace.

 

My Style: Creative, Interactive, and Real

In addition to my business experience, I’m also an actor and filmmaker. I bring that creative energy into the classroom — using improv-style exercises to help students break through fear, gain confidence, and speak more naturally. It’s not about memorizing grammar rules — it’s about thinking in English, reacting in real-time, and having fun while doing it.

 

Why Work with Me?

​

• I’m based in Porto and committed to the local community.

• I understand the challenges Portuguese speakers face when learning English.

• I create a relaxed, encouraging space for learners of all levels.

• I offer flexible options — in-person or online, individual or group.
