Advert description
Since earning my certification from the International TEFL Academy in 2020, I have worked with students of all ages and proficiency levels - from young children just beginning their language journey to adults seeking to refine their advanced skills.
With a strong academic background in International Relations and English Language, I am equipped with a deep understanding of linguistic theory, TESOL methodologies, and cross-cultural communication. This knowledge not only shapes my teaching methods but also allows me to create lessons that are culturally enriching and relevant to real-world language use.
I take great pride in my student-centred approach. Each lesson is personalised to cater to your unique learning goals, whether you're building a foundation in English or working to advance your fluency for professional or personal purposes. My goal is to make language learning practical, engaging, and truly beneficial. I believe that language education should extend beyond memorizing grammar rules and isolated vocabulary. Instead, we focus on communication skills that you can use in everyday situations, whether at work, in travel, or in social settings.
If you're tired of memorising grammar and vocabulary you won’t use and looking for something more practical, my teaching style is for you. I focus on teaching relevant language, centring on real-life contexts. I use authentic examples of spoken and written English to give you the confidence to engage naturally with others. If this includes using English in a professional setting, I can help you develop the business communication skills such as email writing, presentations, meetings, and client interactions. For those working towards academic or professional certification, I have assisted many of my students in passing their Cambridge English exams, including A2 Key, B1 Preliminary and B2 First. Lessons are designed to build the language proficiency, exam strategies, and confidence you need to succeed.
Whatever your goals in English are – whether it be growing confidence in authentic language, conversation, using English in a business environment or succeed in an exam, I am here to support you every step of the way. If you have any questions about my teaching style or how I can help you, feel free to get in touch - I’d be happy to chat and help you get started on your English learning journey.

I have had four years private tutoring, teaching a range of ages and language levels, from children to working professionals. I’ve developed a strong understanding of the common challenges that students deal with when learning English. Whether you're looking to boost fluency, expand vocabulary, feel more confident speaking in social or travel situations, I create personalised lessons that match your goals.
Furthermore, I have prepared students for various Cambridge exams from A2 KEY to B2 First, combining language skill development with focused exam practice. I help students understand the exam format, build effective strategies for the exam, and develop the necessary skillset to ensure steady progress and confidence on exam day.
I have aided professionals with the various challenges of parts of Business English, such as writing emails and reports, delivering presentations, and communicating effectively in meetings and phone calls.

My lessons are student-centred and focused on developing communicative competence. I aim to equip learners with practical language skills and the confidence to use them in real-life situations. I believe language learning is most effective when students engage with authentic, relevant content that connects to their interests, goals, and real-life experiences.
This means each lesson prioritises real-world communication and integrates engaging topics—like current events, culture, or academic themes—to develop both language skills and critical thinking. Students are encouraged to use English not just to learn grammar and vocabulary, but to explore ideas, solve problems, and express themselves with confidence.
A typical one-on-one lesson with me starts with relaxed conversation, often around small talk or everyday topics, which helps students warm up and practise casual speaking—something many learners find challenging. I then introduce a topic for the lesson, inviting the student to share their opinions and experiences, which is followed by listening and /or reading activities to deepen understanding and reinforce new language. Students then have chance to engage with this language in fluency-building tasks like role plays, discussions, or problem-solving tasks that reflect real-life scenarios.
Overall, my lessons are interactive, learner-driven, and adapted to individual goals. I create a motivating classroom dynamic that encourages curiosity, builds confidence, and helps students see English as a valuable tool for real communication.
