Nervous about speaking English? My lessons are relaxed, supportive, and designed to help you speak with confidence from day one.

I’m a CELTA-certified native English teacher (Above Standard), and I specialise in helping adults and young learners feel comfortable speaking English in real-life situations. My lessons are well-structured but friendly, with plenty of speaking time and clear guidance.

What a typical lesson looks like:

A short, friendly warm-up to help you relax and start speaking
A clear focus on useful, real-world English (conversation, grammar in context, pronunciation, or vocabulary)
Guided speaking practice through discussion, role-plays, or practical scenarios
Gentle, helpful correction and personalised feedback
Optional homework if you want extra practice - always manageable

My teaching style:

Patient, encouraging, and supportive
Mistakes are welcome and expected
Lessons adapted to your level, goals, and interests
Clear explanations without overcomplicating things

I especially enjoy working with young learners who want to improve their fluency, feel more confident speaking, or use English more comfortably at school or in daily life. I also enjoy helping adult learners feel more comfortable using English in everyday situations or improving their English for work or university. Many students tell me they feel more relaxed and confident after just a few lessons.

I am also experienced in helping students and adults with proficiency exams such as ECCE, ECPE and NOCN for work or university!

If you’re looking for a friendly, qualified teacher who will help you make real progress at your own pace, I’d love to work with you.
