After twelve years in finance, I decided it was time for a change. I had always wanted to make the leap into creative work, but the uncertainty felt daunting. The timing never seemed right.

Why I built this

My students kept asking me the same question: what should I do between lessons? There was no honest answer. Beginner apps were too easy. YouTube videos taught what they already knew. So I built something for their actual level: B2, C1 and above. Every lesson, every word, every exercise on Portable English comes from years of teaching real students in real conversations.
