NOTICE: Summer vacation dates : 3rd August - 16th August - All lesson requests will automatically confirm and I will contact all students when I return. Wishing you all a wonderful summer! :)
I am a life-long learner and always looking for the next adventure on the horizon!
I have a Bachelor's Honours Degree in English Studies, a Foundation degree in hair and makeup for fashion, (both from leading universities in the U.K), a 120-Hour TEFL certification and a Cambridge English certificate in teaching IELTS.
Through my love of travel and education I have lived in diverse places such as Australia, Japan and Saudi Arabia.Me as a Teacher
As your teacher I will be sensitive to the challenges of speaking English, and always provide you with support. I understand that it takes courage to try. My lessons won't feel strict. I want you to have fun and not be scared to make mistakes!
I aim for you to feel confident and become independent using spoken and written English, so I will always provide lots of opportunities for you to speak and express yourself, plus detailed notes you can review after the lesson.My lessons & teaching style
I have taught non-native students for over 8 years, so I understand how to support you through fun activities to build your confidence and independence.
I believe that if we can laugh together and reduce any fear of making mistakes, then we can learn more!
Some examples of lessons we could have together include:
- Natural conversation (any topic)
- Vocab (how to use more variety)
- Commonly used idioms/slang and meanings
- Pronunciation (so you can sound more natural)
- Role plays of common situations (travel, socialising, telephone calls etc.)
The key is to have fun and to communicate...
I look forward to meeting you in our lesson together soon!My teaching material

I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have had Karen as my English teacher. Her dedication, immense patience and support have been pivotal in inspiring me to learn the language and keeping me committed, which has led to significant achievements.
I'm confident that she goes the extra mile to ensure that every student reaches their full potential. In turn, I'm deeply grateful for her guidance and mentorship in my journey of English language acquisition.
Thank you, Karen, for your invaluable support, leadership and teamwork!

I've been taking english lessons with Karen for about 3 months now and i can say that it is the best decision i've made!
Karen is hands down the best teacher i've met. My conversational fluency grew tremendously and i feel more confident to speak in english.
She's a passionate teacher, respects your learning style, encourages you and with her, you will never lack topics to talk about! I can go on and on like that but i will stop here :)
