Ready to stop sounding like an English textbook? I coach students to master natural, functional English and flawless pronunciation

I'm Athena, a native British English speaker and as a cultural professional from a diverse, multicultural and multilingual background, I believe in the power of language as a bridge to connect people and ideas!

My journey in the education world has taken me from teaching English as a foreign language to children in Tehran, Iran to facilitating engaging educational experiences at renowned institutions like the London Science Museum and most recently Frameless, London’s first immersive art experience.

These experiences have equipped me with the skills to adapt my teaching and facilitating methods to meet the unique needs of each student, fostering a supportive learning environment that encourages growth and confidence in their language skills and artistic knowledge.

Alongside working part time as Learning and Access facilitator at Frameless I have also recently resumed online English teaching as a foreign language to a couple of Greek students. I’ve developed specialised syllabi for my students, focusing on their individual needs and interests—in these students’ cases Legal English and Arts English with an emphasis on conversation, fluency and pronunciation. I pride myself on creating a supportive and engaging environment, using creative resources like films, music, podcasts and articles to make learning enjoyable.

I recognise that learning a language is not just about grammar and vocabulary; it’s about building confidence and passion for communication. I am eager to empower students to achieve their academic goals while fostering a love for the English language as a means to seek connection in a world that seems to push for otherness.
