I have ten (10) years of experience teaching English to foreign adults and children.

Besides focusing on conversation and grammar skills, I also encourage my students to explore existential and philosophical ideas. By integrating these concepts into our discussions and activities, I aim to stimulate critical thinking and broaden their understanding of language and culture. Through thoughtful reflection on these topics, students not only enhance their language proficiency but also develop a deeper appreciation for the complexities of human experience. This multidimensional approach to teaching ESL empowers students to engage with English on a deeper level and to express themselves more fully in both conversation and writing.

My methodology is highly dynamic and interactive. I use real-life scenarios, role-plays, problem-solving tasks, and storytelling to make lessons practical and memorable. I adapt my teaching to each learner’s needs, whether they want to prepare for exams, improve workplace communication, or simply gain confidence in daily conversation. I also incorporate digital tools, authentic materials, and cultural references to make learning both relevant and enjoyable.

Most importantly, I create a supportive environment where mistakes are seen as natural steps in the learning journey. This allows students to feel confident, motivated, and inspired to progress. My ultimate goal is to help learners not only acquire English but also use it meaningfully to connect with the world.
