Message from Derek Smith:

My name is Derek, I’m a native Brit and qualified and experienced TEFL/TESOL trainer.

I have been teaching English to adults for over 10 years and look forward to using technology to reach a wider audience.

I have a neutral accent which is clear and easy to understand.

Downloadable PDFs for each lesson will form a valuable resource collection for you.

Where there are differences between UK and US punctuation usage, these are explained in the lesson.

We also have a free Facebook group that you are welcome to join. It gives a more sheltered environment to ask any questions you may have. This is, of course, in addition to the course Q&A section.

The course is not designed to be accessed in sequence but takes more of a pick and mix approach.

I encourage you to ask questions if you feel that something has not been fully or clearly explained. You will get an answer and, if necessary, the course material will be updated. Depending on the answer, I will add a new lesson to the course.


Here is a brief summary of the course benefits for you:

  • Native speaker

  • Experienced and qualified teacher

  • Neutral and easy to understand accent

  • Lessons structured for easy access

  • Downloadable resources for each lesson

  • Free Facebook group

  • Valid for UK and US English

  • Updates as required by the learners

  • Udemy 30-day refund policy

How many of your boxes did I tick?

This is the English punctuation and writing course you need. I look forward to seeing you on the inside.


Message from TJ Walker

I have been teaching executives around the globe to deliver presentations in English for the last 30 years. Most people, even native English speakers, are insecure about their English grammar. You can become an accomplished speaker and communicator and know that you are using excellent English Grammar every time you speak.

Derek is one of the top English grammar instructors in the world and I am proud to be teaching this course with him. He has the English and European sensibility down perfectly. And I have been living in and working in the United States my entire life. When you put us together, it is a powerful combination designed to help you become a master at English grammar and communication.

Good luck, and I hope to see you inside the course!

Who this course is for:

  • English learners who wish to improve their punctuation knowledge.
  • English learners who wish to write and communicate confidently in English.

I'm a native Brit and a qualified TEFL/TESOL teacher with Business English specialisation. 

For the last 10 years, I've been teaching English courses in Germany. 

In addition to teaching general and Business English to adults at all levels, I've also been teaching exam preparation classes for BEC Higher (C1) and BEC Vantage (B2). My students pass the exam.

This has the disadvantage of being geographically limiting. I'm really excited to be able to offer these courses online now and help many more people improve their English language skills and help them to pass these important exams.

Other subjects that I enjoy are music and technology.
