Hello! I’m a certified TEFL and IELTS instructor from the UK, now based in Turkey. With 3 years of experience, I specialize in helping students master *conversational fluency* and *IELTS success*—whether you’re prepping for exams or daily communication. My background as an accountant and flight instructor means I bring precision and adaptability to lessons, while my East African upbringing (and Swahili!) adds a multicultural perspective. Let’s make learning engaging and tailored to your goals!Me as a Teacher
I am very patient and happy to go over everything as often as necessary. I am aware that learning something new can be stressful. Learning should always be fun! My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are tailored for all ages and understanding levels.
I use lots of visual aids and "realia" to keep learning interesting and fun while keeping students' attention. i vary between "patient and kind" and "fun and playful" and a little more serious, depending on the age and needs of the studentsMy teaching material

Had a good lesson with David to practice ICAO English test questions. Thanks for advice by David, I'll listen more ATIS or ATC radio communication audio scripts and read after that. Hope this advice can improve my ability to catch ATIS or ATC clearances as detail as possible and improve sensitiveness of hearing numbers in English.
