I tailor my lessons to suit students on an individual basis. If you are looking for conversational, fluid language practice then I will curate that flow so that we can have an interesting and useful conversation. However, if you are looking for more structure and you would like us to focus on a specific area (business vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation) then I will of course tailor our lessons to suit those needs as well. As an organised and dedicated tutor I will always plan accordingly! As an Art History and Creative Writing graduate, I like to make my lessons visual, I believe language learning should be light, fun and creative but also memorable. I want you to enjoy the English language and all of its strange linguistic anomalies, I don't want you to be afraid to make mistakes, it is all part of the process.

I have experience teaching in Malaysia to classrooms of 30 students and I also have experience teaching 1:1 university students in Hungary. My experience is varied and I am confident that we will enjoy our time together practicing and studying English. I have a Bachelor's degree in Art History and Creative Writing and a foundation year in English and American Literature. I am also TEFL certified up to Level 5. My experience coupled with my training and education guarantee that I will dedicate myself to your language learning. I think English is a wonderful language and it opens up so many opportunities for all of us, I want everyone to have the ability to communicate in the lingua franca of the world.

I am a native English speaker from the UK, I have a South-East English accent having grown up in and around London. I am also half-Irish. I look forward to our lessons together.
