My lessons are friendly, practical and tailored to each student's individual needs and goals. I aim to create a relaxed and supportive environment where students feel comfortable speaking English, making mistakes and building their confidence.

I have over 10 years of English teaching experience, including teaching in South Korea, where I worked with learners of different ages and abilities. I am CELTA and TEFL qualified and I am currently completing a PGCE in Education with an ESOL focus.

My teaching is communicative and student-centred. Lessons can include conversation and speaking practice, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, reading and writing, depending on what you would like to improve. I particularly enjoy using practical, real-life situations so that students can use the English they learn outside the classroom.

I adapt my teaching style and pace to the individual learner rather than using the same approach for everyone. I explain language clearly, give plenty of opportunities to practise, and provide supportive feedback to help students recognise their progress.

Whether you want to improve your everyday English, become more confident speaking, develop your grammar and vocabulary, or simply have regular English conversation practice, we can plan lessons around your own goals and interests.
