About Me

Hi, I'm Savannah! I'm a native English speaker from Ireland and also half French. Growing up bilingual sparked my interest in languages, and I enjoy sharing this passion through teaching. Teaching has given me the chance to meet students from around the world and learn from each other's cultures.
I absolutely love travelling, and I've been fortunate to live in and explore many countries. Aside from this, I love FOOD, hiking with my dog, and reading. Some of my favourite books are 'A Thousand Splendid Suns', 'Brave New World', 'Jane Eyre' and, 'The Red Rising Saga'.
I'd love to help you on your English journey! Feel free to send me a message :)Me as a Teacher
I've been teaching English since 2015 to children and adults of all ages, and I hold a bachelor's degree in Languages, as well as a TEFL teaching certificate.
My journey began in China, where I lived and taught middle and elementary school students for 6 months. Following this, I transitioned to teaching with various online companies and offering face-to-face tutoring. I’ve had the opportunity to work predominantly with Chinese, Taiwanese, and European students and companies, gaining valuable experience in diverse educational settings.
Since 2021, I’ve been teaching adults at a government-run education centre in Nürnberg, Germany. I love helping students achieve their language goals!My lessons & teaching style
Flexibility and adaptability are key parts of my teaching style. I adjust my lessons to meet each student's needs, making sure the pace is comfortable while helping them progress. I also provide regular feedback to support continuous improvement.
I create a positive, engaging environment where lessons focus on both language needs and, most importantly, students' interests. I incorporate multimedia, real-life scenarios, and interactive activities, including role-playing, to make learning fun and effective. I use a variety of materials and cover a wide range of topics, helping you develop all areas of language learning, building confidence, and preparing you to communicate in any situation.My teaching material

It was a great lesson! We went through my presentation for my job interview together and practised typical application questions. Savannah helped me enormously and gave me good tips and tricks to make my interview a success. Thanks a lot :)

Ma professeure d’anglais est exceptionnelle ! Son sourire, son dynamisme et son professionnalisme rendent ses cours à la fois agréables et instructifs. Grâce à elle, j’ai grandement amélioré ma maîtrise de l’anglais. C’est un privilège de l’avoir comme professeure.

Learning English with Savannah has been a wonderful and very helpful experience! She’s not just a skilled teacher, but also a great person to talk to, easily discussing a variety of topics from books to current events. Our lessons are a mix of structured learning and enjoyable conversations which always pass by quickly. My vocabulary and grammar have notably improved thanks to her attentive and friendly approach. We’ve just started planning for my interview preparation, and even in these early stages, Savannah is actively gathering information about my workplace to make our future lessons as relevant and helpful as possible. I genuinely recommend her for a comprehensive and enjoyable learning journey!
