I am a life-long learner and always looking for the next adventure on the horizon! I have a B.A (Hons.) 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 Saudi Arabia, and now Italy. 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 will always provide lots of opportunities for you to speak and express yourself, plus detailed notes you can review after the lesson. I have taught non-native students for 10 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! SUMMER VACATION: AUGUST 1 - 16

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 :) I recommend

Karen is a great teacher through and through. I booked a lesson for a general conversational class and provided some helpful notes on vocabulary and expressions. She was also so friendly and easy-going. Thanks so much!
