I teach English to speakers of other languages. So if you are wanting to learn English, or want to try something new, please reach out! Learning a new language is such an amazing skill and provides many opportunities. I enjoy learning languages and am currently learning French on the side of teaching English.

I have been teaching English for the past 4 years, my experience ranging from working in a summer school for 3 years following a set curriculum, teaching English online, preparing students for their school or Cambridge exams as well as working with young children during a year abroad in Korea. I tailor my lessons specifically to my students needs, working on both grammar and vocabulary as well as practising writing, reading, speaking and listening. These are all very important when learning a language, and I take pride in ensuring my lessons cover these aspects.

The content of my lessons are normally based on your interests or a goal you want to achieve, for example, passing a Cambridge exam or become more fluent in speaking. During our initial meeting, we will discuss your interests, long term and short term goals for learning English. Lessons vary from student to student and I cannot give an exact idea of how your lesson will look like. I try my best to create lessons I think students will enjoy and want to partake in.

The beginning of our lessons will consist of small conversation, giving you the chance to practise speaking and listening in a low pressured environment.
