I give private lessons tailored to your level and needs.

My approach to teaching is student-centred, supportive and practical. I believe students learn best when they feel comfortable making mistakes, asking questions and participating without fear of being judged. My aim is to make English enjoyable while helping each student build confidence and develop practical communication skills. I would begin by understanding each student’s current level, learning style and goals. Some students may want to improve conversational English, while others may need support with grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, reading, writing or English for school or work. I would adapt my lessons accordingly rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. My lessons would combine conversation, guided practice, explanations, reading, vocabulary activities and real-life situations. For example, students could practise English through discussions about their interests or role-play situations such as travelling, ordering food, attending an interview or communicating in the workplace. This allows students to develop language skills in contexts where they are likely to use them. I believe mistakes are an important part of learning. I would correct students constructively and explain why something is incorrect, while making sure they still feel encouraged to communicate. During conversational activities, I would avoid interrupting unnecessarily and instead make notes to discuss afterwards, allowing students to develop fluency and confidence. My background in psychology has taught me the importance of patience, empathy and recognising that every learner is different. I have also worked as a homeschool facilitator with children from different backgrounds and with different learning needs. This has taught me to be flexible and creative when explaining concepts. If a student does not understand something, I would try a different explanation, example, visual aid or activity rather than simply repeating the same thing. For younger learners, I would incorporate stories, games, interactive activities and their interests to keep lessons engaging. With older students and adults, I would focus more heavily on meaningful conversation and their academic, professional or personal goals. Most importantly, I want students to leave each lesson feeling that they have made progress.
