My Approach to Teaching English
I believe that learning should be both relaxed and purposeful. Each lesson is structured around clear objectives that we develop together, ensuring that your goals always remain at the heart of our work.

Personalized, Student-Centered Lessons
I adapt my teaching style to suit your unique learning needs and preferences, using a variety of activities designed to strengthen reading, writing, and speaking skills. By tailoring each session, I help you build both fluency and accuracy, all within a supportive and enjoyable environment.

Specialism in Early Reading and Phonics
My expertise in early reading and phonics (understanding the sound each letter of the alphabet makes and how those sounds can change when letters are grouped) has proven invaluable for teaching English reading, spelling rules, and pronunciation. These core skills empower you to handle more complex language tasks with confidence—both inside and outside the classroom.

Beyond the Basics: Expanding Your World
Every lesson goes beyond foundational skills. I focus on broadening vocabulary, sharing cultural experiences, and deepening your understanding of the areas that matter most to you. The result is learning that is not only meaningful, but truly enriching.

A Lasting, Positive Impact
Students consistently praise my relaxed, fun teaching approach, noting how much their confidence and independence have grown. I genuinely care about each student and their family, and my support extends beyond lesson time. I introduce practical tools—like free text-to-speech apps for reading important documents, phonics games for practice, and information on local services—so you can continue learning wherever you are.

Everything I do is geared toward making you a more confident, capable English user—ready to tackle classroom challenges, communicate effectively, and thrive in everyday life.
