My lessons are personalised, practical, and designed to make cooking enjoyable and approachable for every student. I believe cooking should feel creative and confidence-building rather than stressful, so I focus on creating a relaxed and supportive learning environment where students can learn at their own pace. Whether someone is a complete beginner, a student living away from home, or a home cook wanting to improve their skills, I tailor each lesson to their individual goals and experience level.

Lessons can be taught online or in person and may include kitchen basics, knife skills, meal preparation, international flavours, vegan cooking, plating, and creative cooking techniques. I enjoy making lessons interactive and hands-on, helping students understand not only recipes but also the techniques and confidence behind good cooking. My teaching style is patient, encouraging, and easy to follow, allowing students to ask questions freely and develop practical skills they can use every day.

I studied Culinary Management at Niagara College in Canada and have experience working in professional kitchens, fine dining, catering, and hospitality environments. These experiences helped me develop strong technical knowledge, organisation, adaptability, teamwork, and communication skills that I now bring into my teaching style. I enjoy helping students discover their creativity in the kitchen while building confidence, independence, and a genuine passion for cooking through supportive and engaging lessons tailored to their personal interests and learning style.

I am also passionate about encouraging students to experiment with flavours, improve their presentation skills, and enjoy the overall process of learning. My goal is to make every lesson informative, interactive, and inspiring while helping students feel comfortable and confident in the kitchen regardless of their experience level or background.
