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 students
