A little about my academic background and experience

I hold a degree in Law and achieved a First-Class grade during my study abroad year. I have also written university essays that received First-Class marks and achieved Grade 7 (equivalent to an A) in both GCSE English Literature and English Language.

I have experience teaching students from Japan, supporting neurodivergent learners and working with students at different levels of English proficiency. During secondary school, I assisted the Head of English in teaching students aged 14–16, helping them develop their English skills. At university, I also supported international students learning English, helping them build confidence in both academic and everyday communication.

What can you expect from my lessons?

My lessons are tailored to your individual English level, learning style and goals.

During our first lesson, we will complete a short, informal assessment covering speaking, listening, reading and writing. Please do not feel nervous! This is not about getting everything right; it simply helps me understand your current level and identify areas where we can focus. We will also have a friendly conversation about your learning goals and get to know each other.

Lessons are one hour long and delivered using interactive slides. I will also provide a short lesson agenda three days before our scheduled session, so you will know what to expect and have time to prepare. I will set a little homework after each lesson, too. Do not worry, it will not be too much! It is simply designed to help you practise what we have covered and continue developing your English between sessions.

We can work at whatever pace suits you, whether you would prefer to take your time or challenge yourself. Together, we will practise grammar, spelling, pronunciation, vocabulary and conversational skills.

I also like to make my lessons fun and engaging by incorporating memes, pop culture references and everyday examples. I want you to understand not just how English works in a textbook, but how people actually use it in everyday conversations!

A little about me

Outside of teaching, I love travelling, anime, gaming and discovering different cultures. I have had the opportunity to visit several countries, including Japan and South Korea, and I really enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds. There is always something interesting for us to talk about!

Nervous about speaking English? Do not be! My lessons are an affordable, judgement free space where mistakes are welcome, questions are encouraged and confidence can grow. I want you to feel comfortable expressing yourself, trying new things and making progress without worrying about getting everything right.

I am looking forward to meeting you and helping you become a more confident English speaker. Let us learn together!
