My lessons are supportive, flexible, and tailored to each student’s unique needs. Whether you’re new to English or just want to boost your confidence, I design sessions that are engaging, calm, and fun. I recently supported a Year 8 girl who had moved from Spain with little English. We focused on reading, vocabulary, and speaking through one-to-one sessions. I used stories, games, visuals, and everyday examples to help her understand and enjoy the language.

Lessons usually include a warm-up chat, vocabulary practice, reading aloud, and interactive speaking tasks - all designed to build confidence at your pace. I’m friendly, patient, and always open to feedback. You won’t just learn English, you’ll enjoy learning it.

I believe learning a new language should feel exciting, not stressful. I adapt each session based on progress and preferences, using real-life situations to make learning practical and relevant. I also encourage students to ask questions and express themselves freely, creating a safe space to grow. Watching learners become more confident and independent with their English is incredibly rewarding, and I’m proud to be a part of that journey.

I also enjoy finding creative ways to keep sessions interesting and dynamic. This could include role-plays, mini projects, memory games, or linking topics to students’ hobbies and cultural backgrounds. I believe building a strong, trusting relationship is key to helping learners thrive, especially those who may feel anxious or uncertain about speaking a new language.

I take pride in being consistent, dependable, and positive in my approach. Whether you’re preparing for school, looking to improve day-to-day communication, or simply want to feel more confident expressing yourself in English, I will meet you where you are and help you get to where you want to be.
