My lessons are designed to be engaging, supportive, and completely tailored to each student’s goals. I believe learning should feel enjoyable and motivating, so I create a welcoming environment where you feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and building confidence step by step.
The format of my lessons depends on what you’re looking for. If you want structured progress, we can follow a clear plan with set topics and exercises. If you prefer something more flexible, we can focus on conversation, real-life scenarios, or specific challenges you’d like to overcome. I often combine both approaches, balancing structure with adaptability so that every session feels purposeful but never rigid.
Content is always personalized. For beginners, I focus on building strong foundations through simple explanations, practice, and encouragement. For more advanced learners, I emphasize fluency, accuracy, and confidence, often using role-play, discussions, or practical examples to make learning dynamic and relevant. I also like to include cultural insights and real-world applications, so lessons feel connected to everyday life.
My background includes teaching within Belfast’s migrant and refugee community, where I developed patience, adaptability, and a people-first approach to learning. I also spent several years training staff for a leading telecommunications company, guiding new employees to build confidence and succeed in fast-paced environments. Later, while working with PwC, I designed and delivered training workshops for both public and private sector organizations, helping diverse groups grow through clear communication and engaging, interactive sessions.
Whether you’re refreshing old skills, starting from scratch, or aiming for professional growth, I’ll personalize the journey to match your needs and help you succeed.
