With over 30 years of experience living and working in two countries — and teaching thousands of students — I bring depth, flexibility, and real-world understanding to every lesson.

One of the most meaningful highlights of my career was teaching English to incarcerated adults in the UK. That experience strengthened my ability to teach with empathy, patience, and respect. Today, I specialise in teaching English as a second language to adults who want to communicate naturally and confidently in real life.

Teaching has never been “just a job” for me. I genuinely care about my students and believe that progress happens when there is trust and encouragement. I am known for being friendly, calm, and supportive — and my students grow in confidence because they feel safe to speak, make mistakes, and improve.

What you can expect from my lessons:

* Fully personalised sessions tailored to your goals and interests

* A structured but relaxed approach

* Revision and consolidation of previous learning

* Natural vocabulary, expressions, and idioms you can actually use

* Plenty of speaking practice

* Gentle, constructive correction to help you improve independently

Whether you want to feel more confident in conversations, sound more natural at work, or simply enjoy discussing meaningful topics, I will guide you step by step.

I am committed to going the extra mile for every student and take real pride in the progress they make. I would love to support you on your English journey.

I look forward to working with you.

Heather is a very attentive and supportive teacher, and lessons with her always feel comfortable and relaxed. Heather is also a wonderful person and a great psychologist — she really listens and knows how to encourage and motivate. Heather often shares useful flashcards with funny pictures for new vocabulary, that makes learning and remembering words and expressions much easier. I also appreciate that she offers various topics to choose from and is always open to exploring subjects that interest me. Thanks to our lessons, I’ve become much more confident speaking English, even in everyday and spontaneous conversations. I do recommend Heather to anyone who wants to improve their English! By the way, she has an incredibly beautiful floral name?????

I adore classes with Heather! The topics are always interesting, new and prepared so good. With Heather I’ve found what I really wanted, because that’s not simple boring grammar, but we speak English and all the time I discover something new, including idioms and vocabulary. That’s really awesome to find out the new truth, which is born in our debates, so I discover myself in the meantime. There are no words to describe how grateful I am to be able to meet Heather!
