Edna Catarina Dias Coelho Pais

I am a dedicated and experienced teaching professional with over 30 years of international experience in language and humanities education. I hold a Master’s Degree in Modern Languages and Literature, with postgraduate studies in Education Sciences, as well as advanced qualifications from Alliance Française in French language and literature.

I offer expert tuition in English, French, Portuguese and Spanish, as well as Sociology and Psychology up to A-level. My students range from school pupils and university candidates to adult learners and professionals. I specialise in exam preparation, professional language development, and bespoke tuition for individuals and families relocating abroad.

My lessons are engaging, learner-centred, and tailored to suit each student’s goals, pace, and learning style. I place strong emphasis on oral fluency, listening skills and confidence-building through relevant, real-life content. Grammar is taught in context and reinforced through interactive and stimulating activities. For exam students, I use strategic preparation methods, including past paper practice and targeted feedback, to support top performance.

I am also certified in Art Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, allowing me to provide inclusive support for students with a range of learning needs. I work closely with local authorities and health services to ensure a fully supportive learning experience for pupils with SEN.

Whether you’re aiming for academic achievement, career progression or personal enrichment, I provide a supportive and motivating learning environment. I offer one-to-one or small group sessions, both online and in person.

Let’s make your learning journey enriching, enjoyable and successful!
