My lessons are relaxed, supportive, and tailored to your individual goals, no matter what they may be—whether you're improving basic English skills, preparing for exams, or exploring creative writing. I believe learning should feel empowering, so I focus on building your confidence as well as your abilities.

Each lesson begins with a quick check-in and a review of any previous material before we dive into a clear, structured session tailored to your needs. We’ll use a mix of reading, writing, and discussion, depending on your learning style and focus. For English language learners, I offer practical exercises in grammar, vocabulary, and conversation. For more advanced students, I incorporate literary analysis, structured writing tasks, and creative exercises.

I have designed and delivered writing workshops for The Open University and currently work with a group of writers to publish a short story anthology. I’ve been chosen by the group as their go-to editor, helping shape and refine their work. These experiences have helped me create lessons that are practical, inspiring, and easy to follow.

I hold a BA (Hons) in English Literature and Creative Writing and a Higher National Diploma in Arts & Humanities. My background also includes years of professional experience in schools and industry, where I’ve developed strong communication and mentoring skills.

Whether you're just starting out or want to polish your writing voice, I’ll meet you where you are and help you grow at your own pace. You're welcome to bring your own materials—or I can provide everything you need.
